Council approves street vacation to create park at Second and Juanita
Summary
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a street vacation related to a new park at Second and Juanita on May 23, 2001, after community supporters highlighted a local parkland shortfall.
On May 23, 2001, the Los Angeles City Council voted 10-0 to approve a street vacation at Second and Juanita that supporters intend to convert to a neighborhood park.
Community spokesperson Mr. Wolfkill urged the council to proceed, saying the neighborhood lacks parkland: “it has about 1 third of an acre per thousand people which the national average is 10 acres per thousand so we need a place where kids can play…” He told the council the park would provide a place for children to play and for neighbors to gather.
The council opened the roll and recorded 10 ayes; the chair declared the street vacation approved forthwith. Supporters who had signed up to speak consolidated their time and most cards were submitted for the record rather than for individual remarks.
The council did not provide a funding breakdown, a construction schedule, or a managing department during the action at this meeting; those details were not specified in the public record at the hearing.
