All Coast Metro Patrol was the hired for Sunset Junction Street Festival security
As the postal worker delivered mail yesterday to businesses along Sunset Blvd., he apologized to Joe Keeper of Bar Keeper for not delivering mail on Saturday. He said that Sunset Junction Street Festival security and staff would not let him inside the festival, even with his USPS issued ID and uniform, to deliver mail to the businesses, according to Keeper.
Yesterday, LAist posted a document signed by the festival organizer stating that admission could not be charged to a public street. But during the festival, staff said they were not honoring the document.
Larry Dozier, a spokesperson for the USPS told LAist that there have certainly been situations where mail can't be delivered, but alternative methods are usually made available. Offhand, he was not aware of this weekend's situation but said he would be able to comment on it soon.

Eric Garcetti will you please answer our questions as to how all of this happened in your district!
I'm sure you have seen the permit by now!

Ask Eric Garcetti what he is going to do about Sunset Junction and where your forced donation of $20.00 is going and to what charity :
Council member Eric garcetti can be reached at:

We elected him and he is suppose to be looking out for us!
according to the organizers 2006 return (available on guidestar), when all is said and done, the festival spendt $90,000 on "youth outreach". mind you the festival costs over $325,000. hmmmmm. not much return to the community for the cost of the event. And how that $90,000 breaks down - how many kids receive services and what kind - is a total mystery.
They better turn the organizer in... This is 'ripping people off' plain simple and clear as it is stated on the permit.
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night, eh? But some rent-a-cop somehow stops the mail?
Contact the USPS Inspector Generals office. Interfering with a US mail carrier, while discharging their duties, is a federal offense.
Tom Andrews - have you ever looked at CD13? It's kind of funny how SunJun fits EXACTLY into CD13. A couple of blocks one way or the other and it'd also be in CD4. (Tom LaBonge's district.)

and why did the mail carrier not call federal police to the scene is a mystery.
not to mention it is a federal felony to prohibit a mail carrier from performing his duties.
where are the charges?
its too bad that mail district got mail carrier lite, and he wouldn't handle it the way he should.
to be honest the mail carrier needs a review since he should have known how to handle the situation and he shouldn't have let the security from preventing him from passing where he needed too. not to mention the business owners seem to be awfully quite about their rights being violated.
Who created Triangle park and pays for it's up keep? SJNA
Who pays for the 'Youth at Risk programs'? SJNA
Who pays for the "Sunset Junction Farmers Market'? SJNA
Tsunami employs local kids, kids that need community service come to SJNA. My question to you is what other community center is there in the area?
