The City of West Hollywood City Council directed staff and the Public Facilities Commission to evaluate the community’s interest in, and feasibility of, establishing a tribute/memorial in honor of community members’ companion animals (pets) that have passed away. An outreach plan has been developed to collect public input on a possible pet memorial. It includes a survey as well as two virtual outreach meetings to be scheduled in Summer 2021. Outreach meetings will be posted on the City calendar at www.weho.org/calendar.

With all do respect, who comes up with is stuff? I love my dog, but really? The city has a homeless crisis, there’s still the ramifications of COVID unemployment, past due rents (both commercial and non-commercial), an unfinished park, a housing crisis as Weho has become unattainable for the middle class worker to live here and so much more.
Can the council, please govern and stop with the high school ASB antics?
Ready.
How much more can they seriously squeeze into our park? I love my pets but come on grown ups! Get a grip.
What a terrible waste of public resources.
