On Friday, January 11, 2008, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe and the Hispanic Outreach
Taskforce (H.O.T.) will present the inaugural Southeast Summit on Youth & Violence.
The purpose of this summit is to bring forth a conceptual framework for reducing violence in our communities. This framework will focus on a strategy that encourages cooperative, coordinated efforts among elected officials, law enforcement, educators, community organizations, outreach and intervention workers, health and mental health workers, faith based representatives, businesses, government agencies, and local nonprofits all working toward the common goal of reducing violence levels in neighborhoods and communities.
Attendees of the summit will include elected officials, law enforcement and community leaders from the unincorporated area of Whittier and the Cities of Artesia, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Montebello, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, and Whittier.
The event will take place at the Norwalk Marriott, located at 13111 Sycamore Drive in the City of Norwalk, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Friday, January 11. For additional information, please call the H.O.T. office at (562) 789-0550.

 Upgrading Traffic Signals in Hawaiian Gardens
The Board of Supervisors approved the synchronization of traffic signals along Carson Street in Long Beach and portions of Lakewood and Hawaiian Gardens. The project involves the synchronizing of traffic signals at 28 different intersections along a 7.3-mile stretch of Carson Street between Long Beach Boulevard and Bloomfield Avenue. Synchronizing the signals and improving their operation will reduce traffic delays on this route. |
