COMMUNITY UPDATE
We thank the always alert activist Laura Stuart for this notification regarding a meeting for Sunkist Park residents tonight:
“I received a letter from 7-11 regarding a neighborhood meeting on Wednesday 17, 2010 (yes, that is correct — no month) at El Marino School.
“I am unaware whether this letter went out to the entire (Sunkist) neighborhood or to just people within 500 feet of the location, although it was sent first class mail. I have to assume just to the people within 500 feet. I could be wrong. I guess that question will be for the 7-11 Store franchisee and 7-11 at this meeting.
“Basically, 7-11 wants to put in a seven days a week, 24-hour store at the corner of Sepulveda and Berryman (5495 Sepulveda) where the 20/20 Video store was previously located.
“Please tell your friends and neighbors about this meeting (I have to assume she meant 3/17 as there is no other Wed. 17 in 2010) at 7 p.m. at El Marino School.
“If you have questions or comments about development you can contact:
“Thomas Gorham, Staff person (thomas.gorham@culvercity.org) Sol Blumenfeld, Director of Community Development (sol.blumenfeld@culvercity.org) or one of your favorite councilmembers or planning commissioners (you can get that information from the city website www.culvercity.org).
“Please tell your friends and neighbors about this meeting so that the entire neighborhood has input!
“I can be contacted at stuartlauraj@hotmail.com
“Thank you, and see you at the meeting.”
