ON-GOING PROJECTS


MANCHESTER AVENUE TREE PROJECT
The treescape for the avenue was developed with the assistance of the Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Bureau of Street Services. In the medians, the Podocarpus gracilar tree will be planted. Gingko biloba and Spathodia undulate tree have been selected for planting in the sidewalk areas.
This project has been in process for several years.

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD
This tree-planting project is on the west side of Sepulveda Boulevard in the residential section and extends from Manchester Avenue to Howard Hughes Parkway. It requires replacing all Ficus trees whose roots, which have made the sidewalks un-usable. The new tree program will alternate the two species of trees that were specified in the Sepulveda Boulevard beautification project. They are the Tabebula impeteginosa tree that has pink flowers and the Koelreuteria bipinnata that has yellow flowers that turn into a golden color.
As part of the project, the sidewalks will be repaired and/or replaced. The project is entering the design phase and construction will begin next year.
Your contribution will help beautify these two areas of our community.
Please contact WSIA if you have any questions

TREE PLANTING IN THE COMMUNITY
WSIA has been responsible for planting over 460 new trees in the Westchester Community. Projects include tree planting on the Westchester Parkway between Airport Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard; new trees in the new landscaping of Sepulveda Boulevard, in the Westchester Triangle as well, and in the business district of Lincoln Boulevard.

New trees were also planted where trees were missing on Manchester Avenue, both in the medians and in the sidewalks between Sepulveda Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue. On all these projects we worked closely with the Council office and with the Los Angeles Department of Public Works/Bureau of Street Services.
