Glendon holes...

What's up with Westwood? Why are there two giant holes on both sides of Glendon between Expo Design and the Westwood Brewing Company? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's not about the development - we know it's coming.

But the question really is: how much more can be crammed into the overparked Westwood Village?

And why is it so cheap to park in a meter there? Meter rates should go up, increasing a higher turnover of cars, which in turn will increase business for the merchants.

More on meters later...

(Did you know all the fund collected in meters go to one giant fund called the Special Parking Revenue Fund which is then used for enhanced parking projects? None of the money goes to the general fund or to the community for enhancement projects. Maybe the rates would go up if the money was used to benefit the community in which that particular parking meter operated.)
