A summary of selected City Hall actions this past week affecting central Los Angeles. : CITY COUNCIL

* LAFAYETTE SQUARE: Directed the city engineer and the Department of Transportation to initiate proceedings to close the entrances from Venice Boulevard to the LaFayette Square neighborhood to deter criminal activity such as drug purchases. The following entrances from Venice Boulevard will be closed at these streets: Victoria Avenue, Wellington Road, Buckingham Road and LaFayette Road. The plan, which was requested by the residents of LaFayette Square, also calls for the installation of a traffic light at Crenshaw Boulevard and St. Charles Place. The LaFayette Square neighborhood is bounded, roughly, by Crenshaw Boulevard on the east, Venice Boulevard on the north, Lafayette Road on the west and St. Charles Place on the south.
