Dodger World Series victory parade, stadium event set for Friday morning

The team noted that “due to logistics, traffic and timing, fans will not be able to attend both events (the parade and the stadium celebration).”

The Dodgers will celebrate their World Series title with a victory parade in downtown Los Angeles on Friday morning, followed by a special ticketed event at Dodger Stadium, the team announced tonight.

The parade, featuring players on double-decker buses, will kick off at 11 a.m. at Gloria Molina Grand Park near City Hall, located at 200 N. Spring St. Mayor Karen Bass will open the 45-minute parade, which will travel south on Spring Street, then west on First Street, south on Grand Avenue, and finally west on Fifth Street, ending near Fifth and Flower streets.

Fans planning to attend are “strongly encouraged” to use public transportation due to extensive street closures and limited parking availability.

After the parade, the team will head to Dodger Stadium for the ticketed celebration starting at 12:15 p.m. Stadium parking gates will open at 8:30 a.m., and entry gates at 9 a.m., with food, merchandise, and entertainment available. Fans can enjoy game coverage on the DodgerVision scoreboards before the team’s arrival.

All Dodger Stadium rules will be enforced, including restrictions on signs, bags, and other prohibited items, as noted by the team.

The team also clarified that “due to logistics, traffic, and timing,” fans will likely have to choose between the parade and the stadium event.

A portion of the proceeds from the stadium event will support the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, which addresses critical issues like education, health care, homelessness, and social justice in Los Angeles.

Both events will be broadcast live in full on Spectrum SportsNet LA and local TV stations, with coverage beginning at 9:30 a.m. Information on how to obtain tickets to the stadium event has not yet been released.

L.A. City Council President Paul Krekorian at City Hall.

Los Angeles City Council approves sewer service rate hikes starting in October

The Los Angeles City Council has approved a 22% increase in sewer service rates, starting in October, 2024, with gradual increases planned through 2028. This move, made to address aging infrastructure, passed by an 11-3 vote. However, some council members, such as Monica Rodriguez, Kevin de León, and Heather Hutt, opposed the hike, concerned about its financial impact on property owners and businesses. The ordinance still requires approval by Mayor Karen Bass and must comply with Proposition 218, which mandates public hearings and notifications to property owners.

Environmental Justice Policy Program Initial Survey – please fill out

The Los Angeles Department of City Planning recognizes the historical and current need to address Environmental Justice concerns in Los Angeles and is excited to initiate the Environmental Justice Policy Program, which is a comprehensive effort to centralize and strengthen environmental justice policies in the City’s General Plan. The General Plan describes policy goals and objectives that inform land use decisions, and ultimately shape and guide the physical development of the City.

As part of the Program, City Planning anticipates updating the Health Element, also called “The Plan for a Healthy Los Angeles,” and the Air Quality Element of the General Plan. Other changes include making targeted updates to the Open Space Element, and the creation of a new environmental justice element or chapter in the Health Element.

A recently completed Health Element Progress Report provides the status of the existing Health Element programs. This report will inform additional environmental justice policies and programming as part of the Environmental Justice Policy Program.

In addition to the Environmental Justice Policy Program, the Department is set to launch a Climate Vulnerability Assessment (CVA) in partnership with the Emergency Management Department and the Climate Emergency Mobilization Office. The CVA will help identify the City’s communities that are most vulnerable to climate change and will ensure that climate equity is a priority in future climate planning efforts.

Please join us in this important effort today by taking initial survey. A critical aspect of this work is ensuring meaningful community involvement throughout the planning process, with a focus on centering the voices of those most impacted by environmental injustice. Your input will guide the development of stronger environmental justice policies and will inform the prioritization and implementation of programs in the General Plan. More opportunities to engage in the process will become available throughout this multi-year effort.
