Flooding: Gauging Rain on La Cienega

The article about the Hollyhills storm drain project (Westside section, June 4) came as an unhappy shock to me, as I’m sure it did to hundreds of your readers. I’d like to refute a statement in your article credited to “community flood control officials.”

The officials say that “many main streets on the Westside, including the northern section of La Cienega Boulevard, face severe flooding virtually every time it rains.” This is not true for La Cienega. My office has been on La Cienega for 18 years and the northern section has never been even mildly flooded. Are other statements from the county also incorrect?
