Wilshire Vista COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
Wilshire Vista Street Signs
The WVNA Board has made significant progress in our initiative to replace the faded Wilshire Vista street signs throughout the neighborhood. We are grateful to those who have donated and are more than halfway to our fundraising goal! We kindly invite the community to support this initiative by donating today, showcasing your pride in our neighborhood, and helping us reach our target.
Please show your support and donate!
Business owners, if you are interested in becoming a sponsor of the Wilshire Vista Sign Initiative, contact us today to explore sponsorship opportunities. There are sponsorship benefits to help promote your business within the community.

Land Use Projects
The proposals to elevate the spaces at 5510 Pico and 5500 Pico have been approved by Pico NC and are moving forward to city planning. The owners of Mad Lab Coffee and Joe's Pizza plan to develop a food hall-type restaurant with three dining options and an ice cream shop at 5510 Pico and convert Okay Liquor at 5500 Pico into an up-market bar. We’ll continue to share updates on these exciting neighborhood projects as they develop.
On November 14 the Land Use Committee had a presentation on the proposed Affordable Housing project at 5750 San Vicente Blvd. This project will include demolishing the existing building and constructing a new 7-story, 100% affordable housing project, consisting of 46 units. The discussion included information on affordable housing and Mayor Bass' Executive Directive (ED1) Ordinance.
The Land Use Committee is working to get progress updates on the project at 6052 Olympic and information on the Housing Element Rezoning program. We will keep you informed as new information becomes available.
