Assistant Majority Leader Krekorian

to Hold Free Traffic and Speeding Forum

Will update residents on Safe Streets bill and elicit ideas on

ways to improve traffic safety

BURBANK – Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) is set to host a free forum to address safe streets on Saturday, Aug. 22 in Van Nuys. The Safe Streets Workshop will give residents an update about Krekorian’s AB 766, the Safe Streets Bill, and what lies ahead for ensuring local control over speed limits.

AB 766, legislation to give local municipalities greater control over setting their own speed limits, was held in the Assembly Transportation Committee in May after registered opposition from statewide groups derailed support.

Despite that setback, Krekorian is pressing ahead with a public forum to elicit suggestions for ways to make streets safer throughout the San Fernando Valley and the next steps toward local control over speed limits. The forum will include information from state officials and an update from local law enforcement and other elected officials on street safety.

Who: Assemblyman Paul Krekorian; activists, residents, law enforcement and transportation officials from throughout the San Fernando Valley.

Where: Marvin Braude, Constituent Center, 6262 Van Nuys Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 91401

When: Saturday, Aug. 22, from 2-4 p.m.

Note: Parking is located in the surrounding lots and on the street. Light refreshments will be provided, but a limited number of seats are available. To RSVP, please call Krekorian’s District Office, (818) 558-3043 or emailAssemblymember.Krekorian@Assembly.ca.gov with “Safe Streets Workshop” in the subject line.
