📰 News we're reading

• County Breaks Ground on New Parking Structure (lapost.us) — Marina del Rey’s Lot 4 across from Trader Joe’s is now closed as L.A. County builds a much larger, 24-hour public parking structure with EV chargers and better shoreline access, scheduled to finish by late fall 2026. The project adds a new plaza linking to the Marvin Braude Bike Path and Visitors Center, supporting a “park once” vision and making it easier for residents and visitors to enjoy the waterfront.
   

• ALIF with posterior spinal fusion may be performed in an ASC (healio.com) — A spine surgeon who practices in Marina del Rey helped study a complex lumbar fusion procedure performed entirely in outpatient surgery centers, including the DISC Surgery Center at Marina del Rey. Reviewing 203 cases from 2018 to 2024, the team reported discharges within 23 hours, no hospital transfers, and minimal early complications, suggesting more advanced spine care may continue shifting into local ASCs.
