The Griffith Park Wildlife Management Plan

This plan was commissioned by RAP in response to a proposal submitted
by Dan on June 20, 2007. The proposal includes this written proposal,
and additional wildlife monitoring to augment work initiated in
March, 2007 by the Griffith Park Natural History Survey (GPNHS). Dan
has devoted almost all of his time to Griffith Park issues since the
May fire, and continues to conduct ongoing monitoring as authorized
by RAP's acceptance of his June proposal.

Universal / MTA Project Community Working Group

http://www.universalworkinggroupnews.org/index.html

The Universal/MTA Community Working Group is a coalition of
neighborhood groups and Homeowners Associations that
geographically encircle Universal Studios and the MTA site. The
purpose of this coalition is to enter into a dialog with the developers
of these sites and to help create a common vision that would be
beneficial for both the developers and for the community at large.

The Development (Overview)

The MTA site is currently the home to an MTA bus turn-around, a
transit stop for the Metro Subway and to the most historic site in the
western United States, Campo de Cahuenga. Universal Studios
across the street is a 450 acre property that is home to a movie and
television studio, the City Walk, a number of production companies
and a slew of famous movies sets.

The Coalition (What We Do)

The Working Group was formed in late 2006 in anticipation of this
project and has been studying and talking about both the
development and its effects on the surrounding communities.
