Downtown Mar Vista Beautification Meeting Wednesday Dec 9, 2020

The Downtown Mar Vista Beautification 2nd meeting is this Wednesday Dec 9th at 5:30 PM online on Zoom. Express your kudos or more concerns. The link to RSVP is directly below the flyer.  Below the flyer is Councilman Bonin’s Mobility Deputy letter regarding this meeting. He also requests feedback separately on the Downtown Mar Vista project instead of or in addition to attending the Zoom meeting. Also there is a link to sign up for Councilman Bonin’s e-mail Newsletter wherein he explains his Police Cutbacks and Homeless Issues stances among other photo opportunities.
And below that is a link to our Zone 5 Director Michelle Krupkin’s MVCC Great Streets meeting scheduled to start directly after CD 11’s presentation and covering much of the same issue above but including the lane closure with a more grassroots viewpoint.

Local Gentrification Developments

Below  is a link to a story on the Developer who will build at the corner of Marcasel and Washington Blvd. starting soon. They will soon complete the building next to Costco which is the first of the pictures.  The surprise is the announcement of a new 100 unit development at Inglewood and Washington – which corner is the mystery. All these are in Culver City – two of which are South Mar Vista adjacent!
