   And on a semi-related note the County Planning Department will be having a second round of community workshops for the East Los Angeles 3rd Street Specific Plan. They will be held on
   October 17, 2009
   Ruben Salazar Park Senior Center
   9:00am – 12pm
   2pm-5pm
   and
   October 24, 2009
   City Terrace Park Community room
   9am-12pm
   2pm-5pm

   here is a link to the outreach materials
   http://planning.lacounty.gov/assets/upl/general/ela_public_workshops_outreach_materials.pdf

   and to the county website
   http://planning.lacounty.gov/ela

   these meeting give local community members to be involved in revising land use policies for the area along 3rd street in ELA.
   I tend to post these notices on here from time to time as they come up because they are a very valuable way for people to get involved with the planning department decisions, give their opinions, help create the policies and ordinances that shape our community. This is were you go to tell planners that you want mom and pop shops in ur neighborhood and not corporate America. It gives community members an opportunity to be proactive rather than reactionary.
   I know a lot of people here talk about having Eastside pride, its this type of involvement that proves who is serious about it.

   Sorry, El Random Hero for sort of hi jacking ur post, but its sort of related to ur post in that the rail is the catalyst for the revisions to the ELA specific plan.

   btw, who do i need to talk to (or what else it takes) to post on the blog. there are numerous eastside events that take place that dont get any attention here. It would be nice if the blog posted more Eastside events up.

   You are absolutely correct about how attending these meetings and giving input is the best form of eastside pride. Gracias carnale!
