The 1 ½ mile stretch of Mulholland Drive from Topanga Blvd. to where the median ends at the Motion Picture Television Fund has been an issue of great concern
What should be a pleasant and beautiful road, is an eyesore for all residents and everyone who drives Mulholland daily. And it is an unfortunate safety hazard. Unfortunately, basic LA City services have neglected Mulholland for too long and have no plans to rectify the situation soon. If you have a moment, watch a short two-minute video highlighting the situation – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDmWeuSY6_Q and then sign the petition – http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mulholland-beautification, to have LA City leaders do something to fix the situation.
