Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – The Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council is gathering data to inform a parklets plan.  ON TUESDAY THEY ARE HOLDING ONE LAST TRAINING SESSION FOR VOLUNTEERS.  If you can’t make the training session but want to support the DLANC,  be nice to anyone with a clip board taking notes in DTLA this week.  Get more details on their efforts, here.
