The Los Angles City Board of Public Works will take up the Shuttle Parade debate on Monday Sept. 17. Click for AGENDA, The 9:30 a.m. meeting is at Edward R. Roybal BPW Session Room, Room 350, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street.
The California Science Center will move the space shuttle Endeavour from LAX to Expo Park up Crenshaw then east on MLK.
