The Coronado Elsinore Neighborhood Watch would like to thank everyone who made the clean up of the Elsinore alley possible. The alley was cleaned on the morning of January 31, 2013 by City Sanitation who did an amazing job as you can see from the photos below.
Very special thanks to our Senior Lead Officer Al Polehonki and City Council Rep Ryan Carpio in Eric Garcetti's Office for their tireless diligence in seeing this through. Also a well deserved thank you to everyone in The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council and the Silver Neighborhood Improvement Association who contributed their time and effort to this issue. We'd also like to thank The Eastsider LA for giving the issue a larger public forum on our behalf.
It takes a lot of people to get things done and we truly appreciate the efforts of everyone who contributed!
As fantastic as this is, it is only a temporary solution to a much larger problem. We still need the gates removed for the long term health and safety of the neighborhood.
The gates have created a "dead zone" at the end of the alley and the criminal element will return and we will continue to have these issues with the drug dealing, prostitution, smash and grab car break ins, assaults, burglary and other crime until the gates can be removed for good.
Again, THANK YOU to everyone for their efforts in this great first step of cleaning up the alley!
