Nithya’s Valley agenda

The San Fernando Valley
Deserves More

The San Fernando Valley is home to roughly 43% of the City of Los Angeles. If it were its own city, it would be the fifth-largest in the country. Yet Valley residents are too often left waiting for basic services, safer streets, and meaningful investments in their neighborhoods.

It's time for a Mayor who gives the Valley the attention it deserves.

Safe Neighborhoods and Strong Communities

From copper-wire theft leaving Pacoima streets dark to dangerous street racing and public safety concerns along the Sepulveda corridor in Van Nuys, Valley neighborhoods face real challenges.

My plan:

  • Get 911 calls answered faster.

  • Focus police resources on burglaries, violent crime, trafficking, and street racing.

  • Expand unarmed mental health crisis response.

  • Strengthen protections against hate crimes and discrimination.

  • Use data to track and improve neighborhood safety outcomes.

Every Valley resident deserves to feel safe in their community.

Fix the Basics Across the Valley

In Pacoima, residents have waited nearly a year for streetlight repairs. In Van Nuys and La Tuna Canyon, illegal dumping continues to frustrate neighborhoods. Across the Valley, broken sidewalks, potholes, and unanswered 311 requests have become all too familiar.

My plan:

  • Get broken streetlights repaired in days instead of months.

  • Fix sidewalks, potholes, and dangerous intersections.

  • Crack down on illegal dumping and neglected properties.

  • Make 311 requests trackable from start to finish.

  • Strengthen neighborhood services and accountability at Van Nuys City Hall.

Valley residents shouldn't have to fight City Hall to get the basics right.

Invest in Valley Parks and Public Spaces

The Sepulveda Basin, Woodley Park, and the LA River are some of the Valley's greatest public assets, but too many residents still lack access to quality parks, shade, and safe places to walk and bike.

My plan:

  • Improve the Sepulveda Basin's recreation, transit connections, and public amenities.

  • Complete the Upper LA RiverWay from Canoga Park toward Downtown.

  • Open 100 Community School Parks across Los Angeles.

  • Plant 100,000 street trees before the 2028 Olympics, prioritizing areas with the least shade.

  • Create safer neighborhood streets and school zones.

The Valley deserves beautiful, accessible public spaces in every neighborhood.

End Street Homelessness and Restore Our Neighborhoods

From RVs parked along residential streets to encampments near the Sepulveda Basin, Hansen Dam, and communities like Sunland-Tujunga, homelessness affects Valley neighborhoods in different ways.

We need solutions that bring people indoors while restoring safe, clean public spaces.

My plan:

  • Reduce the number of people sleeping in tents and encampments by at least 50% by 2028.

  • Deploy street medicine teams to provide care directly to people living outside.

  • Expand shelter, rental assistance, and pathways into permanent housing.

  • Develop a coordinated strategy for RV homelessness.

  • Address sanitation, dumping, and fire hazards alongside homelessness outreach.

We can lead with compassion while delivering real results for our neighborhoods.

Protect Valley Immigrant Families

In Panorama City, Van Nuys, and other Valley communities, federal immigration enforcement has created fear for families simply trying to work, attend school, and go about their daily lives.

Immigrant families are part of the foundation of the San Fernando Valley, and they deserve protection, dignity, and support.

My plan:

  • Enforce our Sanctuary City protections.

  • Expand deportation defense and access to legal assistance.

  • Strengthen community rapid-response networks.

  • Coordinate emergency assistance for affected families.

  • Ensure City departments do not facilitate federal civil immigration enforcement.

Every family in the Valley deserves to feel safe in the community they call home.

Protecting the Valley Before the Next Fire

The San Fernando Valley is no stranger to natural disasters from the Northridge earthquake to the Woodley Fire. The Valley’s unique combination of wildfire risk, extreme heat, flooding, and environmental hazards reminds us our communities must be ready before disaster strikes

My Plan:

  • Expand the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety

  • Strengthen fire response based on risk and need

  • Prepare before Red Flag Days

  • Fix water infrastructure and prioritize brush clearance

A Better Commute for the Valley

Valley weekday transit ridership has recovered to 93% of pre-pandemic levels, the highest recovery rate across Metro’s entire service area. Despite this heavy reliance on public transit, Valley riders frequently face slow bus speeds, unshaded stops on hot corridors, and incomplete active transportation networks. The City must cut bureaucratic delays and deliver the fast, reliable transit voters were promised.

My Plan: 

  • Deliver major rail projects on time and on budget

  • Build the Sepulveda Transit Corridor

  • Complete East Valley Light Rail connecting Pacoima, San Fernando, and Sylmar

  • Speed up the G Line 

  • Make buses faster & more Reliable

A Mayor Who Shows Up for the Valley

The Valley holds six of Los Angeles's fifteen City Council districts. It is home to diverse communities, small businesses, working families, and some of our city's most important public spaces.

Yet too often, residents feel City Hall is far away when they need it most.

As Mayor, I'll make sure the Valley is never an afterthought.

That means safer neighborhoods, reliable City services, investments in our parks and streets, solutions to homelessness, and real protections for our communities.

The Valley deserves a Mayor who shows up, listens, and delivers.
