Los Angeles Neighborhood Dreams (LAND) is an initiative of L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti. LAND participants are working through a collaborative process to identify priority projects for their neighborhoods that they will work to achieve in the next three years. Here are some responses to the event.

Attending the Atwater Visioning Meeting was an exciting experience. We met in a unique space at the end of Casitas Ave and even though it was chilly the people inside were warm and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm and passion the attendees and the administrators had for their community. I am thrilled to be working in such a wonderful community

I loved this day! I came representing my son’s charter school, Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts, that has recently moved into the area. It was like opening a treasure trove of connections to be at the meeting and to realize how many powerfully cool creative things are going on right around the corner from us. Can’t wait to get deeply involved in this community.

The whole facilitated dreaming together process was amazing in how quickly and clearly it allowed a clear picture of what is good and a distilled plan of action to appear organically.

I am inspired by Eric Garcetti and his team truly working on grassroots level to bring people together. I wish all politicians were working in such a genuine and insightful way.

My favorite part was to know that I’m not the only who has been riding along the river bike path and feeling how much potential it has to be an amazing place for people to enjoy. Every time I’m riding I think ‘Oh, someone oughta…’ and the meeting made realize that we can. I am thoroughly charged to get involved!
