Ice Cream Vendor: Diana’s Ice Cream
9523 Avalon Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90003. License # 8K66972.

Truck frequently operates outside of ordinance 176830 which states:

(c) Hours of Sales. No person shall dispense any item, including food,
from an ice cream truck on a street during the following hours: From 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of April through October and from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. during the months of November through March.

It is November and this truck is currently on the street at 7:50pm on 12/10/10

Driver frequently forgets to stop music while parked to serve ice cream. This is also against noise ordinances. It is not uncommon to hear this truck's music through windows and walls over 1/4 of a mile away for 30 minutes straight.

Los Angeles Health Department was contacted with apparently no solution rendered.

I believe they have the right to sell their fatty sugary laden crap to the poor people of this neighborhood, but must we be abused by the aneurysm inducing music because this driver refuses to follow the law?

Along this stretch between Le Conte and Lindbrook are huge potholes in southbound traffic. Bicyclists unfamiliar with the area who leave a wide berth to allow for the door zone could hit these. The rest of us swerve to avoid them, which may aggravate car drivers.

Glendale is absolutely hell on earth; dangerous, ugly, polluted, this is literally where the 2 freeway vomits onto the people of Echo Park. For those who do not drive, adjacent Alvarado street is the only convenient connector to Northeast Los Angeles for the majority of people living in Echo Park, Silver Lake basically everywhere southwest of the 5. There was city talk of removing parts of the freeway and calming traffic but no clue where that has gone beyond ridiculous development talks.

Not a pleasant place to drive. How about speed cameras or more enforcement here?

This needs to be made a 4 way stop. There are many accidents here, and many near accidents. Also, people drive to fast on this street.

There is inadequate light at the very dark southwest corner of Ambrose and Rodney, half a block from the busy entrance to the Albertson's grocery parking lot. The high traffic volume makes it a dangerous place to cross the street for both pedestrians and drivers.

The upper deck (departures), just before the light, seem to have a large gap going across the entire bridge. So when you drive up there, you really have to slow down, to like 5 mph. otherwise you hit that separation joint really hard and you can feel it through out your car. This is a major repair, but it needs to be addressed before the deck moves more and someone is going to get stuck or fall through.
thanks.

Rocks and dirt from vacant lot has fallen down onto the street and has now piled up in several places. It forces traffic going uphill to drive on the wrong side of the road and since there is a blind curve, this is quite dangerous - I experienced an incident the other day.

The billboard is too bright and distracting. it is dangerous for drivers.

Another resident of Kingsley Drive has taken it upon themselves to annoy the entire street with the purchase of one rooster that sits on the porch and can be heard from long distances. Animal control has been informed.

Sidewalk and driveway so damaged that cars can't use driveway and wheelchairs and strollers can't pass.
