Three's the Charm: [RE]visit [RE]seda’s Valentine Themed Event on February 6th Pushes the Envelope of Community Awareness and Participation

Next [RE]visit[RE]seda Event will be a Valentine themed offering. The third in a series of three events, funded from a LA City Great Streets Grant, will be the [RE]visit[RE]seda I Heart [RE]seda Blvd on February 6th on our Reseda Great Street, at Reseda and Rayen.

The Valentine themed event is scheduled from 2:00 to 5:00 pm and is built around the participation of five local merchants: Aromagica Sol & Luna, Collective Lifestyle, Domestique Cycles, House of Vitamins and Reload LA. It will also include food trucks and a series of raffles for gifts from each of the five participating merchants.

Aromagica Sol & Luna will be sponsoring an art show by members of the Public Art Initiative of the Museum of the San Fernando Valley. Collective Lifestyle will be sponsoring a Poetry Slam along with live music and art. Domestique Cycles will have an art show as well as micro roast coffee pour over demonstrations and samples. House of Vitamins will have martial arts demonstrations by MTAG Muay Thai adherents, as well as fitness demonstrations, a fitness challenge with prizes, free samples, other giveaways and free body fat testing. Reload LA, in concert with Beats & Pieces, will have live music and art as well. This final event of our first cycle of [RE]visit[RE]seda events should prove to be our most interesting and creative event so far. Make sure you come early and stay late!

Each of the five merchants participating will hold a raffle for a gift card at the end of the event. Participants can sign up for raffles in all five locations, so make sure to visit all five and enjoy all the art, music and spoken word that day. Check out the food trucks, parked on the east and west sides of Rayen at Reseda when you want to take a break and have a bite.

Thanks again to the LA Great Streets, Northridge Sparkle, Councilman Mitch Englander, CSUN, LA Mas, Northridge South Neighborhood Council, the Museum of the San Fernando Valley and Northridge Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring these three great events.

Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study Made Available to the Public

Metro’s long-awaited Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study was made available to community members at the end of September. The study was based on community input taken last spring at a community meeting, as well as through email and online comments. The study takes no official position, rather it details the various costs, community concerns, and environmental factors that would be involved in either the upgrading of the current station, or in the moving of the current station to the corner of Reseda and Parthenia. Both study alternatives aimed to identify potential opportunities to enhance transit connectivity throughout the community and region. Alternative 1: Station Relocation, relocates the existing Northridge Metrolink Station to the intersection of Reseda Boulevard, Parthenia Street, and the Ventura Line. Alternative 2: Existing Station Enhancements, upgrades the existing Northridge Metrolink Station into a multi-modal transit ...

Sherwood Forest Home Owners Association Works to Make Northridge a Better Place to Live

On January 18th, the Sherwood Forest HOA will hold a stakeholder meeting at the Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy, at which there will be a presentation on the Clean Streets, Clean Starts program, which seeks to find work, counseling and housing for North Valley homeless. Guest speakers will include Don Larson and Laura Rathbone, coordinators of this revolutionary approach to tackling homelessness. Homeless issues are important issues in the community, no less in the well to do and idyllic Sherwood Forest neighborhood. Overnight parking of recreational vehicles and cars has become a daily occurrence in the neighborhood. Other issues, such as large scale development and growing traffic strains are increasingly on the radar of the community and the Sherwood Forest Home Owners association. Homeowners and the SFHOA find the need for advocacy in the community more than ever. This increased advocacy has been reflected in ...

Northridge’s Community Sponsors Support Beautification and Homelessness Projects

Much of the good work that has been done in our neighborhood over that last few years has been because of the many volunteer hours donated free of charge. However, volunteer labor often needs materials, money and expertise to make a project smooth running and successful. Currently, two examples of these projects, the new “Northridge Stampede” mural on the Catalina Paint Building at Gresham and Reseda, and our ongoing “Clean Streets, Clean Starts” homeless project, both rely on the generosity of individuals, local businesses and non-profits. The Northridge Beautification Foundation, a 501.c3 nonprofit, has been able to expand their community service projects with a much-needed infusion of money and expertise. In the case of the “Northridge Stampede” mural, currently underway, the overwhelming generosity of the Northridge Sharkey’s, which donated a sizable percentage of their Labor Day Weekend profits, totaling an amazingly generous $3,148 dollar, ...
