Today's riddle: Why do some birds fly south for the winter? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. L.A. Replaces 45 Miles of Water Pipe a Year. The System has 7,400 Miles. (parriva.com) — A massive July rupture of a 110‑year‑old water trunk line under Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood released about 17 million gallons of water and pushed LADWP to promise a faster replacement. The multi‑year, multimillion‑dollar project could influence future water bills, but residents still lack a firm start date and confirmed budget. West Hollywood customers are urged to watch for clearer timelines, costs, and progress updates.
2. 207 Apartments on Fairfax Could Put LAUSD Workers in WeHo Homes (wehoonline.com) — West Hollywood is considering a $15 million loan to help LAUSD build about 207 income-restricted apartments on Fairfax Avenue at the former West Hollywood Opportunity Center, aimed at district employees like teachers, nurses, and custodians. With the city's affordable housing fund already strained, officials are weighing how this long-term project, slated for 2028–2030, can keep local workers living in or near West Hollywood.
3. West Hollywood Hit and Run Leaves Eastside Dad With Gruesome Leg Injury (wehoonline.com) — A man was seriously injured in a hit-and-run while crossing Santa Monica Boulevard at Martel Avenue, an incident now under investigation by West Hollywood Sheriff's deputies. The Eastside dad faces a long recovery from a compound leg fracture, worrying about how he'll keep working and caring for his 3‑year‑old daughter. Deputies are still seeking the white compact car that fled the scene.
4. Polished Pop, Heavy Price Tag: Sheryl Crow Headlines City's $3.69 Million 'Live on Sunset' Takeover (hollywoodtimes.net) — West Hollywood is closing three blocks of Sunset Boulevard on November 14 for the free Live on Sunset festival, headlined by Sheryl Crow and funded with $3.69 million in city reserves. Residents can attend from 4–11 p.m., with mandatory free registration opening October 14, while debate continues over whether the steep cost truly benefits local businesses and reflects the Strip's rock heritage.
