From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – Lighting Improvement Project at Howard Finn Park

I am happy to announce that the lighting improvement project at Howard Finn Park has now been completed. I secured over $100,000 to fund brand new LED light fixtures throughout this park serving the Sunland-Tujunga community. The lights are programmed to brightly illuminate the park and parking lot from dusk until dawn. This project will provide much-enhanced visibility and safety at Howard Finn Park.

This project is just one of many improvements brought to this area under my tenure, such as the recent renovation of North Valley City Hall, the adjacent municipal building to this park. If you see a local park in need, please contact my Pacoima office at (818) 485-0600, Sylmar office at (818) 756-8409, or Sunland-Tujunga office at (818) 352-3287.

From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – Commemorate and Celebrate Transit Equity Day

4th February, 2022, we commemorate and celebrate Transit Equity Day in the alignment of Ms. Rosa Parks’ birthday. Ms. Parks refused to give up her seat on a public bus. Her actions changed the transit into more equitable systems.

In recognition of Transit Equity Day, Metrolink invites everyone to take a seat aboard. Riders can arrive at a Metrolink station and board any train at no charge or ticket required. I look forward to continuing work with transit agencies and partners towards a more equitable and safer transit system for all.
