Silver Lake Zip Codes
The SLNC has voted against the Sunset Junction Street Festival in its present form. This was done on behalf of the Silver Lake residents and businesses that endure hardships & extreme distress regarding parking, traffic, poor safety control and financial demands. I, Patricia McGrath therefore move that the SLNC ask that the following conditions be applied for 2009, if this festival is to be held this year: (1) All Silver Lake residents and their families in zip codes 90039, 90029 and 90026 be allowed entry for free; and (2) Separate beer gardens be designated for alcohol, so attending individuals and families can find and walk in alcohol-free environs.
Safe to say, that's a lot of people. Even if passed, it doesn't mean it becomes law, nor does it mean festival organizers have to make it so. Neighborhood Councils are only advisory to the City Council. But Councilmember Eric Garcetti has made it clear that the neighborhood council is playing an important and strong role in this case.
The Neighborhood Council meets tomorrow evening (it's public, you can attend) and will also consider various other motions including spending $5,000 on sidewalk repair and supporting the creation of a new Westlake Neighborhood Council.




dang! no 90027?
The SLNC forgot to include that Sunset Junction organizers shouldn't be allowed to hold the festival due to the crappy lineup.
WTF? why no 90027!?! i can walk to sunset junction. and you KNOW hyperion will be impossible to drive through
How much is it going to cost to walk on the city street this year?
I like this. This is good.
They should also make sure that people who work in the area are able to get to their jobs without issue (or having to pay entry fees). Weren't some local employees blocked from getting to work last time?
Shouldn't this be free for everyone? Street fairs in every other city I've visited (Chicago, NYC, San Francisco, Denver etc.) don't cost anything.
From what I understand, 90027 is not represented by the SLNC. If 90027 feels like Sunset Junction also affects 90027 and you want to be involved in influencing change, contact the Griffith Park Neighborhood Council and voice your concerns.
