Too Many Acronyms
First came the PPCC (Pacific Palisades Community Council). Then there was the PPCL (Pacific Palisades Civic League). Then last week you ran an article about the PPRA (Pacific Palisades Residents Association). As it’s impossible to keep track of all these groups, I will be launching the PPAA (Pacific Palisades Associations Association) where I’ll be able to attend a single meeting to figure out what all these groups actually do.
Election
I just wanted to share something you have not made clear in your coverage of the community council elections. The PPCC is preparing to hold officer elections where only board members vote. Your voice is reflected through the vote of your elected Area Rep. Make sure your rep—names on the PPCC website—know what is important to you and how you want them to vote. It should make a difference.
Caruso
A question to Caruso: Why can’t The Village have family oriented, less expensive restaurants? Beverly Hills has a sandwich and hummus restaurant; Madison Avenue in Manhattan has inexpensive restaurants and coffee shops.
Caruso II
Concerning “Fun Times Ahead,” you do not speak for “95 percent” of the residents of the Palisades regarding the new Village. Just because your unbridled excitement that this is a “not cheap” town does not mean that the overreaching size, scale, architecture and announced leases reflect the town as a whole. Please enjoy the new Village when it opens but spare us your voice of the people lecture. This was once a charming place to live, it no longer will be once this white elephant opens. You might want to retake your informal poll of the 95 percent once that happens.
Canyon Concerns
It is troubling that members of our fine and generous community would deny a quality education to children from outside the area when there is the capacity to educate them here. With Entrada being a cut through street for thousands of cars avoiding Sunset or PCH every day and traffic improvements promised with the new construction, I think traffic will not be impacted significantly, and may even be improved, by what is planned for Canyon Elementary. The sentiments expressed by Mr. Landay, who somehow purports to speak for the majority of this community, are not well taken.
Violent Means
There is a two-word solution to the late-night racing by the Ruthless Ryderz: Piano wire.
