Region 1 Representative

Leny Freeman

I'm a semi-retired network engineer. I see problems and look for solutions. The first issue is speeding on Foothill Blvd. The second issue is illegal fireworks and its impact on people, property, and especially dogs. The third is too much trash. All three problems have solutions that center on community involvement. Speeding on Foothill is a big danger to all. One very promising idea combines the use of volunteers with LAPD Foothill to improve enforcement. Almost everyone agrees that illegal fireworks cause all kinds of problems. I would support a neighborhood watch approach to identify where violations are occurring, and report to the city attorney. For a cleaner community, using bulky item pickup more frequently will go a long way. We can also have teams of volunteers helping the homeless clean up their camps.
