Red Car Property: Why We Bitch About Brush Clearance - Failure To Restrict Vehicle Access

Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor,May 31, 2017.  A year after the Silver Lake Fire, and the Red Car Property owner has not only failed to do brush clearance by May 1, they continue allowing vehicle access  to the the Red Car Property, including the steep, narrow Red Car Canyon between Corralitas Drive, Lake View Ave and Riverside Place.  (Click on photos to enlarge.)

Additionally, a number property owners on Lake View Ave and Silver Ridge Ave have failed to do brush clearance.  You can't control your neighbors.  You can report brush clearance issues to LAFD Brush Unit:
LAFDBrush@lacity.org, 800-994-4444.  If you're reporting issues on the Red Car Property, include: Hector.Vega@lacity.org in CD13.

Since the dry weeds are taller and more dense than last year, neighbors are understandably concerned.  Increasingly, neighbors have reported cars and construction trucks driving onto the property since construction began on the Riverside Drive Lots off Lot C - nowhere near Corralitas Drive.
