<p>You experience your neighborhood (or someone else's) a lot different when you are strolling rather than passing through. You notice more. Especially when there are thousands of likeminded, engaged Angelenos with you.</p>
<p>This is the first Ciclavia in South LA - though South LA peeps have been involved very early on and there were spurs to the Dunbar and Jazz Park on Central Avenue and to Leimert Park Village.</p>
<p>Imaginela street festival several miles long with several hubs of activities, planned and spontaneous. Spoken word, hip hop, jazz, dance and lots of food and food trucks. In other words, the vibe should fit right in with the artists, musicians and philosophers of the area.</p>

<p>Lark Galloway-Gilliam just worked and worked and worked. I saw few people more in the community over the past decade. She was doing things and getting things done, according the community organizations.</p>
<p><br/>I didn't know her personally - but she made my life better because she made Leimert Park better and that's where I live.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Recently she was an important part of the group at the ECWANC that spearheaded the mitigation agreement with the California Science Center after the Space Shuttle graced our neighborhoods. Have you noticed all the trees along the thoroughfares and in the neighborhood. What about the white and red truck that is taking care of the trees?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I knew her mainly as the president of the CHC Community Health Councils. She <em>successfully</em> fought for healthy food options, health education and healthcare and fought against fracking, state budget cuts, and oil drilling.</p>
<div style="xg-p: absolute; top: -1999px; left: -1988px;" id="stcpDiv"><p class="lead"><em>Since you might not have had the chance to meet all the Zoning Advisory Committee (ZAC) members in person, we thought it would be fun to feature short profiles on each to help you get to know them better. For this edition, we’d like to introduce <b>Lark Galloway-Gilliam</b>.</em></p>
<p>Lark Galloway-Gilliam is one of the “rare” native Angelenos, born and raised in LA, living her whole life in the West Adams/Leimert Park area. Lark’s interests in planning come from her experience of living for over 60 years in the City, watching it evolve and change, as “ . . . a person of color, experiencing the inequity of land use standards that the City has allowed . . .” Professionally, she has worked around land use policy “. . . as a way of providing access to healthy nutritional resources, the physical environment as a place to support physical activity through complete street design . . . ” Having served on a neighborhood council, these are the issues people in the community have raised to her.</p>
<p>Starting off in hospital administration, Lark later worked in the job/employment development field, specifically with people with disabilities. She then transitioned into her current position, working on health policy to improve both access to health care and the environment in which people live. </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://d3j6kov2ek5gfa.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/content-photos/LGG_Headshot%28cropped%29.png" style="width: 400px; height: 500px; float: left; margin: 5px 10px;"/></p>
<p>About her role as a member of the ZAC, Lark says " . . . it’s about the issue of the design standards as it relates to the proximity of incompatible uses that might create health implications for people, in particular. It’s about the equity of resources. How do we plan so that we have zoning that supports a more equitable distribution of critical infrastructure?” She emphasizes attention to affordability and access, and preservation of historical and cultural integrity of neighborhoods.</p>
<p>Lark is also concerned about some of the long-term implications of current infrastructure work. “I lived through the building of the 10 freeway and witnessed how that destroyed a very significant portion of the African American community--displacing people, and how it just was so disruptive . . .” with, she says, no apparent thought about the impacts, or about how to keep a community whole. Now that she has become involved, she is struck by the potential of planning to protect vulnerable communities.</p>
<p>"I think that the committee and the process have been interesting," Lark says of the ZAC. "I think you have to be sensitive to the fact that LA is not a homogeneous community by any standards. There are economic differences, racial and occupational/oppositional differences. We still live in a very segregated community that's driven by the market now, and some of that is driven by land use policy. So I think we're going to have to really be mindful that it's not a cookie-cutter response to the diverse composition, character, vision, and needs of a lot different little sub-communities within the City. It's going to be a very interesting challenge. How do we do that? How do we simplify this, yet provide for enough flexibility in job choices that people feel like it’s honoring their vision of their community, and then stimulate economic development at the same time?"</p>
<p>In her free time, Lark loves to go for walks, whether it’s on the beach or a walking trail.</p>

<p style="margin-left: 80px;">"That’s easy. I would take them to the beach. I would take them to, unfortunately this is not in the City of Los Angeles, but there is the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook where you can see the entire city. I would take them to my neighborhood; I would take them to Leimert Park where I live and the beauty and sense of community of South Los Angeles shines <span style="line-height: 1.538em;">. . . Well, there’s so many places. You know I had a friend coming down and she wanted to see the Walt Disney Center, and I enjoyed it, but I think the real beauty of LA is where the people are."</span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 80px;">"You know I traveled abroad and I was struck by how when you go out of the country, the food and cuisine is so specific. You couldn’t find Mexican food, you couldn’t find Thai food, and in LA you can find everything! I don’t think there’s anything that we don’t have! It’s such an international city. What would somebody have? I don’t know! I guess the answer would be, for communities in which there’s not as rich a diversity of ethnicities, culture, you’re missing all of that.

<p>AND THIS IS A NICE EMAIL I RECEIVED THIS MORNING. I'm not endorsing, but please go out vote and get involved.</p>
<p>"Jefferson Park has received a lot of support from the UNNC Board over the last year.<br/> <br/> "Please support your neighbors who volunteer their time on the UNNC Board by voting <span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">tomorrow</span></span>. There are 9 people running for 5 available At-Large seats, so your vote counts. "</p>
<p></p>
<p>Then the email gavie a recap of ways UNNC has contributed to Jefferson Park this year:<br/> <br/> UNNC has been very pro-active in addressing the Murphy Oil Site, and is working on an <a href="http://jeffersonparkunited.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dda33b515da8ce4f13857eb4b&id=05c9f17fb1&e=188d0e19c8" title="Documents about the appeals connected to the Murphy Oil site" style="word-wrap: break-word; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">appeal to be heard on <span class="aBn"><span class="aQJ">May 20th</span></span></a>. Thanks go to Michael Salman, Laura Meyers, and many others.<br/> <br/> Our Jefferson Park HPOZ signs were funded by UNNC in 2013. (Thanks to Steve Peckman for spearheading that project.)<br/> <br/> Soon our Jefferson Park entry sign near Western will have nice LED lighting, courtesy of UNNC and Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative funding. (Thanks to Gus Harris, Jr. for initiating this.)<br/> <br/> We have recently taken strong stands on pedestrian safety, bicycle access, and street calming. (Thanks to Michael Macdonald for his leadership.)<br/> <br/> You can read bios of all candidates here:<br/> <a href="http://jeffersonparkunited.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dda33b515da8ce4f13857eb4b&id=1472d4cdbb&e=188d0e19c8" style="word-wrap: break-word; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">http://empowerla.org/unnc/united-neighborhoods-nc-2014-elections/</a><br/> <br/> The Jefferson Park, West of Arlington Seat 2 is up for election with two candidates.

<p>During this coming Sunday's Leimert Park Art Walk, the legendary corner of 43rd and Degnan will go green.</p>
<p>A community coalition that involves Ben Caldwell of KAOS and USC, LA Cultural Affairs and Los Angeles Council District 10 will be installing five re-made street objects between the Vision Theater and Leimert Plaza Park.</p>
<p>Everybody's asking - What do you want Leimert Park Village to be? You have an opportunity to be part of what's there now and what there is to be.</p>
<p><br/> The next question - What if 43rd Place was pedestrian-only?</p>
<div class="photo-wrapper"><div class="photo-wrapper-inner"></div>
</div>
<p>The extra wide street separates the Vision Theater - and the people - from the park across the street. What if we could play in that space instead - like the Cowardly Lion fountain in Culver City or the painted green triangle in Silver Lake?</p>
<p></p>
<p>We'll have a 3D Demo of what it would be like if 43rd Place were a park this SUNDAY from 2pm to 5pm,.</p>
<p><br/> There will be five re-imagined objects in the street that are not what they seem:</p>
<ul>
<li>A bench to sit on AND makes drum beats.</li>
<li><div class="post-wrapper clearfix"><br/><div class="photo-wrapper"><div class="photo-wrapper-inner">An advertising display that invites drawing and poetry,</div>
</div>
<br/></div>
</li>
<li>A planter calls you to play in the dirt,</li>
<li>A newspaper box tells stories of times past,</li>
<li>A payphone guides you through the neighborhood.</li>
</ul>

Sit down to turn it on, play, collaborate and share music in the community.<br/> The Bench Beats team brought Leimert Park’s rich musical history into the design, encouraging community interaction. Bench Beats invites collaboration by providing two sets of keys for the drum machine, allowing two users to sit and play simultaneously.

Emphasizing edibles, we imagine spaces where anyone can Grow It! Plant the seeds of your choice, then tap into real-life and online social networks to track and nurture your plants.

<p>Over the years, the Kimbrough sisters have been some of the most outspoken and active business owners.</p>
<p>Zambezi Bazaar is family-owned and operated by siblings, Jackie Ryan, Mary Kimbrough, and Alden Kimbrough. They have been operating in Leimert Park Village for nearly two decades.</p>
<p>“Zambezi Bazaar is considered a prime locale when individuals are looking for arts and cultural memorabilia,” said <a href="http://www.leimertparkbeat.com/profiles/blogs/senator-price-to-honor-leimert-park-village-s-very-own-zambezi" target="_blank">Senator Price on Small Business Day</a> in 2012. “Collectors can also find out-of-print literary work there, as well. The Bazaar is a staple of the Leimert Park Village community.”</p>
<p>Co-owner Jackie Ryan also serves as President of the Leimert Park Village merchants Association.</p>
<p>The sad news comes at a time of much interest in our downtown, the Soul of Los Angeles, Leimert Park Village.</p>
<p>The business owners seem serious about trying to make the village more of a draw for the local community and for the region. Check out their Facebook page to keep abreast of events - including a meeting this morning - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/leimertparkvillage2020">https://www.facebook.com/leimertparkvillage2020</a></p>
<p>Despite the sad news today, there is good news.</p>
<p>Papillion Gallery opened, the Leimert Telephone Company is taking off and the Art Walk</p>
<p>The media has taken note, including a story by Leimert Park Beat member Angel Jennings in the LA Times:</p>

<div class="mainimg easyclear"><div class="photo">"Show your love and support for the village tonight between 6pm and 8pm."</div>
