The city finally committed to the landscaping project and the crews are arriving next week to clear that debris. Seeing the median get the attention it deserves after all this time feels incredible. Thank you for proving that we do not have to accept crumbling roads in our own neighborhood.

For many years, the median on Mulholland Drive has been an issue of grave concern for the residents of Woodland Hills.

The trees are dead or dying. Large branches routinely break and fall onto the street where they often stay for several weeks and are a hazard to cars and drivers. The weeds are either dead or rampant after rainfall. The Mulholland median should be a pleasant entrance to both Woodland Hills and Calabasas but is instead an eyesore and safety hazard.

Starting from Spielberg Drive (at the Motion Picture Television Fund) and stretching 1 1/2 miles to Topanga Blvd., the main median, the side medians and the street as a whole, Mulholland Drive is a noticeable blight to the community. As the north western boarder of the City of Los Angeles Mulholland Drive is what introduces visitors and welcomes home homeowners to our great city. The difference from the Woodland Hills (City of Los Angeles) side of the boarder and the City of Calabasas side of the boarder is striking. Calabasas has beautiful, well maintained streets while Woodland Hills has decrepit, crumbling streets. Enough is enough. Not only do the stakeholders of Woodland Hills demand routine maintenance of Mulholland Drive - we deserve beautification.

Signers of this petition urge Councilman Bob Blumenfield, President of Public Works, Kevin James and Director of Bureau of Street Services, Nazario Sauceda to work with the stakeholders of Woodland Hills to beautify Mulholland Drive.

I drove down the stretch from Spielberg to Topanga this morning and had to swerve to avoid a fallen branch again. The silence from the Council office is frustrating but I am currently drafting a formal letter to demand a clearer timeline for these repairs. We need to keep the pressure on until they see the same neglect that we face every single day.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that so many of you are just as tired of dodging fallen branches and crumbling medians as I am. It is encouraging to finally see some momentum behind fixing this daily eyesore that greets us every time we come home.

This is especially sad considering that the city has designated the Mulholland Scenic Corridor with specific requirements of the residents within the are. The city should, at the very least, participate in maintaining city property along this corridor.

Because of the low hanging tree branches it is extremely dangerous to make a left turn from Mulholland. Please, regularly maintain the street for everyone's safety.

I live in the area and I am a real estate agent for many years .This is unsightly and effects values of our homes,especially since across the street is calabasas which looks good.

I'm extremely concerned about health of the eucalyptus trees along this stretch. They are majestic trees that are in critical condition, large limbs breaking off into the street due to drought and not getting watered by the city any longer. Please help

As a homeowner in the city of Woodland Hills, I am in disbelief looking at the dried out, dying trees that line Mulholland. The 101 sign that has been down for months near the freeway entrance was the first thing I noticed and said to myself "When are they going to put that sign back up?"

I am in favor of the City being responsible for the care and preservation of Woodland Hills.

Who is in charge of this petition? I would like to post more pictures of the blight. It is even worse now due to the overgrowth from the heavy rains this winter. This is a really nice part of Woodland Hills that has the potential to be beautiful.
