🤔 Aggressive Urban Coyotes or Regular L.A. County Wildlife? Poll!

We live with raccoons and opossums. Do coyotes fall into the same category? They don’t need open space, have no problems building dens close to humans, and are becoming more and more visible on our neighborhood streets. What do you think? So far, 60.5% think we need to learn to live with them, 37% want them gone, and 2.5% don’t care one way or the other.

📰 Here are the top stories today in Los Angeles:

1) On September 12, rapper PnB Rock was shot at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles near SoFi. On Tuesday, the PD made an arrest near Gardena. Another suspect is still on the run. (NBC)

2) On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the grand opening of the Chesterfield Apartments. Located at 4723 South Normandie Avenue, these feature “42 new permanent supportive housing units that will be a sanctuary for formerly homeless seniors.” (Mayor of LA)

3) Last August, the LADWP fixed the filtration system for the Rowena Reservoir above-ground ponds and waterfall. On Wednesday, we learned that there is no plan to refill the ponds, due to the drought. Using recycled water is “too costly to pipe in.” This means the ponds remain empty, and the area is fenced off with the public kept out. (The Eastsider LA)

4) The K Line light rail, also known as the Crenshaw/LAX Line, will open on October 7, with a noon ribbon-cutting ceremony at Leimert Park. “Rides will be free, system-wide, that weekend from Friday through Sunday.” Construction had been ongoing since 2014. (Streetsblog LA)

5) Mark your calendars! Caltrans announced that it will close the 101 Freeway between White Oak Avenue and Balboa Boulevard, beginning Saturday at 10 p.m. and ending Sunday at 10 a.m. Caltrans will remove the Encino Avenue pedestrian bridge because it lacks vertical clearance. Partial closures of the 101 are expected as early as 10 p.m. on Friday. (Caltrans)
