In light of the recent gun battle(s) that broke out in the Cypress Park/Glassel Park neighborhoods of North East L.A., local leaders are inviting the public to come together during some regularly scheduled Neighborhood Council meetings to discuss what has happened with local law enforcement officials.

The first meeting we’ve heard about is being coordinated with the office of Councilmember Ed Reyes. Councilmember Reyes is encouraging all concerned residents to attend the Greater Cypress Park Neighborhood Council, Health and Safety Committee Meeting this Tuesday February 26, 2008 at 7:00 pm.

The meeting will be held at:
Aragon Avenue Elementary School Auditorium
1118 Aragon Avenue

Councilmember Reyes will be accompanied by: Deputy Chief Diaz, and Captain Perez of the Los Angeles Police Department.

For more information, contact the councilman’s office at (213) 485-7063.

20″ Bicycle Giveaway

The Bicycle Kitchen recently had a huge bunch of children’s bikes donated to them. Since they are not in the business of handing out free kids bikes, they tapped a bunch of local bicycle collectives and advocacy groups to see if we could hook up some needy youngsters in our neighborhoods.

The Bike Oven received a stack of around 15 bikes, and we’re working out the details of a giveaway to some deserving organization, or group of kids, in our area. The bikes even came with helmets - which is awesome, because kids are not allowed to ride bikes in California without a helmet.

Councilman Reyes’ office might be able to help us out with some fun schwag, or just a little it of press. The folks at C.I.C.L.E. have a few bicycles from this shipment as well - and plans are in the works to coordinate some sort of training class for the kids that get these bikes. I want to hook these new ridazz up with some blinky lights.
