Silver Lake council says “No” to “No Cruising” signs — The ...
By Mary A. Allen
Community members turned out in force before the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council on Wednesday night to overwhelmingly support removal of the “No Cruising” signs erected along Griffith Park Boulevard and Hyperion Avenue. “Cruising,” in this case, has been the euphemistic term for searching for sex partners. The signs were installed in 1997 following many years of complaints of gay men cruising for sex near popular bars. The signs, having long outlived their intended use, are now “an embarrassment,” as one community member put it. “They stigmatize the neighborhood,” noted board member Michael Masterson. The board voted unanimously in favor of removing the signs.
As to what will happen to the signs, comments ranged from selling them on EBay to board member Paul Neuman’s suggestion that “The signs should be given to the appropriate archivist.”
In other meeting news:
Board of Public Works president Andrea Alarcon , who took the lead to deny a street fair permit for Sunset Junction , made an appearance before the council. Said Alarcon, “We got hundreds and hundreds of emails, only one that I can remember in support of the event.” In response to potential concern over economic impact for the bands scheduled to perform, she noted that about one hundred bands “moved into local bars and other venues; the benefit was spread throughout L.A.” Alarcon thanked the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council for their support and the clear message that they sent to the City regarding neighborhood concerns.
