San Vicente Boulevard from Ocean Avenue to Barrington Avenue is one of the loveliest streets on the Westside.
The landmark coral tree median, landscaped residences and long blocks between stoplights create an almost park-like atmosphere. It’s this park-like appearance that leads walkers, joggers and bikers to use San Vicente as a fitness track.
I give kudos to all who care about their health, and are committed to a schedule of fitness. I don’t mind sharing my neighborhood with you, but your pursuit of fitness does not give you license to converse loudly as you go along, carelessly shouting beneath our windows, forgetting that you are in a residential area.
So to all individuals, couples, walking clubs, biking teams: Here’s to your health! Enjoy the green space, but QUIET, PLEASE!
