Good morning! I’m here in Venice Beach, where according to signs posted throughout there will be a major cleaning starting at 7am. On the flyers, it lists “zone 1” as the location - part of several different “major cleanings”
A new addition to the area where larger clusters of tents exist: signs which state “personal property remaining in the park after the park closes may be removed and impounded and may be discarded by the city if not claimed within 90 days of the City’s removal…”
Venice Beach is definitely an interesting place during the morning: some members of @UrbanAlchemyUA are doing some trash cleanup on the north end of the boardwalk as residents begin waking up throughout.
City crews as well as park rangers appear to be staging for the planned operation outside the LAPD Venice Beach Sub-Station: LASAN, LAHSA and several other departments / sub-contractors.
As things are staging, a band is playing Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight”
Some quotes written on the public restroom. Many feel apropos.
City workers / service providers having a meeting right now. Introducing each other and going over their roles.
Looks like the operation of the “Major Cleaning” has commenced. Park Rangers walking towards Park. Ave. Activists, photographers and media following.
