Most of La Brea-Hancock was built before the main Hancock Park area in the mid-1920’s. We are bordered by the east side of Citrus Avenue to LaBrea Avenue, from Third Street to Wilshire Boulevard. We are now in danger of being split by a City Redistricting. Please read, it is urgent that you ACT quickly! SUBJECT: Keep All of La Brea-Hancock in CD 4
Rules & Elections Committee Members:
I am a resident at 365 South Mansfield Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036 in the La Brea – Hancock area of Greater Wilshire neighborhood of Los Angeles. The properties included in LaBrea-Hancock are the east side of Citrus Avenue to LaBrea Avenue, from Third Street to Wilshire Boulevard. The Redistricting Commission has proposed bifurcating this community by creating a new CD 4 - CD 5 boundary line along Fourth Street between Highland and La Brea. For nearly 40 years, the boundary line has been at Third Street, and La Brea-Hancock has been intact within CD 4. This Third Street boundary line wisely has kept all of the commercial properties on both sides of LaBrea Avenue, south of Third Street, in CD 4. The Commission proposal would put one-third of La Brea-Hancock in a different district and would put the east side of La Brea Avenue in a district different from the west side between Fourth and Third Streets. We urge your Committee to RETURN the CD 4 - CD 5 boundary line, west of Highland Avenue, to being along Third Street, as it has been for 40 years. Keep intact this 15-block community of interest of nearly 300 single-family homes. Thank you. Please look at the attached picture and tell me that this change is not ridiculous!
