• GWNC Redistricting Resolution 2/8/2012 After long consideration and discussion, GWNC has officially resolved to request that the Redistricting Commission place the whole of Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council (GWNC) in Council District 4.A little background: in an effort to enhance GWNC's ability to effectively represent residents as an official city-sponsored body, GWNC decided that being unified in one Council District would do a lot to compensate for some of the recent moves that have divided the area, specifically the California Redistricting and the new Police precinct lines that have split several neighborhoods. GWNC made a formal request to the Redistricting Commission, submitted maps, and sponsored a concerted letter-email writing campaign to request that GWNC be included intact in one District. After ...

  Don't want your phone book? OPT OUT! In walking around Wilshire Park, it's hard not to notice the orange-bagged phone books on every porch. Some of them will sit there for weeks and even months. Sometimes they are delivered in stacks. People don't even bother to pick them up, and most of those that are picked up never make it through the front door, but go directly to the trash. Let's face it - if you are reading this, you don't use a phone book, and don't want that ad for bail bonds staring at you for a whole year. It's a waste of paper, creates litter, is immediately out-of-date, and is far less convenient than an internet search ...

Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council, as it has been, is in three Council Districts ...

  ReDrawLA.org - How You Can Submit Your City Council Distric Boundaries The City of Los Angeles is currently in the later stages of redrawing our City Council maps. Wilshire Park has been in CD10 for the last many years, and we have a lot to thank our Councilmen for, specifically our HPOZ. However, as with any function where the prize is political power, there are forces at work that have a different agenda than the residents. Most of these forces are all about business and profits, rather than quality of life or fair representation. For these commercial groups, Wilshire Park is tempting prey. Wilshire Park is being eyed by the Wilshire Center-Koreatown Neighborhood Council for inclusion into the City Council District to the east, currently CD1, which will be broken ...
