WVIA holds first in-person meeting in nearly three years
Last month, the Westwood Village Improvement Association (WVIA) welcomed newly-elected CD-5 Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky to their first in-person Board meeting in nearly three years. During the meeting, the Councilwoman outlined her vision for the future of Westwood Village and her steadfast commitment to collaboratively working with all stakeholders to help revitalize the area.
“The conversation highlighted the need to invest in transportation projects to make visiting Westwood and the entire Westside easier,” WVIA said in a newsletter recapping the meeting.
These projects include two planned Metro rail projects, bicycle infrastructure, a new Westwood Village Parking Program with wayfinding signage designed to improve parking accessibility along with advertisement of affordable parking rates in the Village, and an initiative called ‘Broxton at Westwood Village’, which will convert a one-way portion of Broxton Avenue into a pedestrian-only space.
Michelle Schwartz, Chief External Affairs Officer for LA28, joined the meeting via special presentation to discuss Los Angeles’ upcoming 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
