Martin F of Howard …The new brew pub will be more of a problem than people realize. How many employees will be forced by management to use Oxford Triangle street parking? 25? 40?
Since Scopa has opened up in the old Chinese restaurant space, the east parking area has gone valet only. Chains are up across the alley but are dropped during business hours. The Bikram Yoga studio, which routinely has between 25 and 35 participants, has been give an area with only 19 spots. All Scopa employees (at least 12) must park elsewhere and cannot park in the Washington Avenue lots (one to the east, and the one west of Sunny Spot). So the employees and yogis are now invading Thatcher and Howard Streets, forcing residents further from their homes.
Overnight restrictions won’t cure this.
And don’t get me started about the constant parade of Scopa delivery trucks, blocking my garage!
Comment: FW says 14 to 16 employees. Scopa claims they drop the chain only for construction trucks during the day; otherwise, chain is up.
Karen Burstyn of Redwood Ave …Boy, just what this part of the neighborhood needs – another place to buy alcohol.
Do you think it will help clean up the area?
Heather K of Thatcher …If these new restaurants: Sunny Spot. The new place where old Schezwan was and this new brewery would simply offer free parking in their parking lots it would be a huge neighborly peace offering. They have huge lots with pay valet parking! These lots for example at Sunny Spot are severely vacant oftentimes but because people have to valet and pay, they all park in our neighborhood. Even the new place which is high, high dollar, their patrons will pay 14 bucks for a beer but still not park in the lot. These places should offer free parking in their lots, period and it SHOULD be a condition of use, especially when the parking DOES exist.
Angela M of Thatcher …Anyone who feels, as I do, that the Braude Bike Path and the shoreline are far too precious to spoil with this monstrous, dangerous eyesore, please sign my petition to our City Councilmember, Mike Bonin: https://www.change.org/petitions/mike-bonin-city-councilmember-11th-district-city-of-los-angeles-oppose-the-homeless-storage-locker-on-venice-beach#share
The beach belongs to all of us, and for anyone to use for their personal agenda – however egalitarian – without so much as an Environmental Impact Report so that all of us can at least express our concerns, is simply wrong. I, for one, would also like to know if these items are screened to make sure none are dangerous (as in toxic or flammable) or stolen before they’re put in such a public place. Thanks
