David Nguyen, from the Mayor's Office, has worked with CD13 to help prioritize cleaning the 101/Silver Lake Boulevard underpass area. More frequent cleanings are underway, one having been performed this past week.

To vote in an SLNC election, you must be one of the following: property owner, renter, business owner/employee, member of an organization, student, homeless person: all within Silver Lake boun
