On the scene after the most recent fires on Hope S On the scene after the most recent fires on Hope Street. The DTLA Neighborhood Council has been advocating for prevention measures for a long time and hopefully with the renewed attention we can see improvements. We’ve given the City a path to prevent future fires but without changes we’re going to see this more and more.

These buildings need to be secured or demolished and the city needs to hold landlords accountable. 

If you see something be sure to document any evidence and send to us (info@dlanc.com) and to your LAPD senior lead officer.

Thank You for Making Our Juneteenth Celebration a Thank You for Making Our Juneteenth Celebration a Success!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make DLANC’s first Juneteenth Celebration honoring Biddy Mason such a meaningful and memorable event.

We are grateful to our performers, vendors, speakers, volunteers, community partners, and everyone who contributed their time, talent, and energy to bring this celebration to life. Your dedication helped create a day filled with culture, history, community, and joy.

We also want to thank everyone who attended. Your presence, participation, and support are what made this event truly special. Seeing our community come together to honor the legacy of Biddy Mason and celebrate Juneteenth was inspiring and uplifting.

This event would not have been possible without the collective effort of so many people working together with a shared commitment to community and remembrance.

Thank you for helping make this inaugural celebration a success. We look forward to building on this foundation and celebrating together again in the years to come!

Packed meeting last night as we hosted a presentat Packed meeting last night as we hosted a presentation, Q&A, and public forum about the @metrolosangeles Broadway Bus Priority Lane Project. More than 50 community leaders showed up to voice concerns, with folks either speaking or in attendance from @historiccore, @downtown_la, @broadway.west, @dtla_ra, @spna.dtla, @dtlaproud, @fastlinkdtla, @cd14losangeles, and @mayorofla’s office. 

During the meeting, Metro announced that they were scaling back the project to one lane, a change that would preserve pedestrian space that includes the @grandcentralmarketla and @ilcaffe.la outdoor seating.

As you can see, Downtown shows up, is organized, and united!

DLANC also voted to support the CEQA appeal for First and Broadway/Altamed/El Corazon Art Park Project. 

Our goal is always to shine a light and add transparency to these important decisions. We’re honored to be the place where these conversations can happen!

Should Broadway have two dedicated bus lanes in DT Should Broadway have two dedicated bus lanes in DTLA? Come hear the @metrolosangeles proposal tonight at our monthly Board of Directors meeting at City Hall! Share your opinion on the proposal and on the future of the neighborhood. 

We’ll also be discussing First and Broadway (AltaMed/El Corazon art project) along with the $100m Active Transportation Projects (grant) and the formation of a new Business Improvement District (BID). 

Go through the metal detectors on Main Street, up to the 3rd floor, and across the bridge to find our meeting room. See you tonight!

DTLA Votes! The rest of the country is OBSESSED w DTLA Votes!

The rest of the country is OBSESSED with us and our primary here in Los Angeles. 

And we’re obsessed with us too! 

DTLA showed up big this election with many, many candidates coming Downtown to meet with voters and discuss issues, thanks largely in part to organizing efforts from resident groups like @dtla_ra. 

Downtown demands a lot from our elected officials. We show up and we are organized. 

In California and Los Angeles we prioritize making voting easy, safe, and secure. We were allowed to mail our ballots in right up until Election Day. And that’s why it takes a little longer for them to be counted and verified. 

So don’t worry. You can sit back and relax and watch the results come in, once per day around 4pm when LA County @lacountyrrcc releases the daily vote count.

This morning our president, Jens, was at City Hall This morning our president, Jens, was at City Hall to advocate for $100M for safer streets, bike lanes, & walkable neighborhoods.

The motion to hire the 25 positions needed to deliver LA’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 projects passed unanimously at Transportation Committee today. Now it moves forward to Budget & Finance Committee and then hopefully the full City Council. ATP is a state program to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as walking and biking. These funds benefit a number of communities in LA including Downtown’s own Skid Row. 

DLANC is on it!

They planted trees, fixed brickwork, and installed outdoor art. They named it Panorama Park after the Panorama Theatre that was built there in 1888!
