By Wendy L. Moore for the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council
The Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council invites you to our February 4 meeting where we will have something for everybody. An LAUSD representative will stop in to bring an update on the state of schools in Porter Ranch. That will be followed by Porter Ranch Community School Principal Mary Melvin, who will explain the planned changes to the attendance boundaries for her school. When PRCS opened three years ago several option areas were created where families could choose PRCS or Frost as their middle school. At the outset, it was communicated that these option areas were temporary and intended to help fill the school quickly. As more residences were built in the original boundary area, the optional areas would be phased out. Principal Melvin will answer your questions about boundary changes for the 2015-2016 school year.
City Controller Ron Galperin will speak at about 7pm explaining how you as an average Angeleno can use his reporting tools to dive into the details of how the City is spending your money. These tools provide never seen before transparency into City spending, allowing you to ask good questions about spending.
At 8pm the topic turns to the restriping of Tampa. You may have noticed that Tampa was repaved north of Rinaldi and temporary striping has been laid down. To the untrained eye, it appears that the lanes of car traffic remain unchanged and the bike lanes remain intact, but that some buffers may be planned and there may be changes to parking. In particular, parking across from the Porter Ranch Library may be eliminated, which could present challenges to patrons when the parking lot is full. Before the striping is finalized, we will have a presentation about the proposed striping and seek public comment on available options.
The meeting will be held Wednesday, February 4, 6pm at the Porter Ranch Community School, located at the corner of Sesnon and Mason. Parking lot access is off Mason. Join our community conversation facebook.com/PorterRanchNC.
