Accomplishments

Historically, the Westside cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood, through an informal association of their elected officials and city managers, as well as the City of Los Angeles, through its council and staff, have played a valuable role in serving as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information. However, the growing need for cities in the Westside area of Los Angeles County to implement their own subregional policies and plans and voluntarily and cooperatively resolve differences among themselves requires a more formal structure.

During the years before the COG was formed, the cities worked on an impressive set of joint projects resulting in innovative programs and award-winning environmental projects. More recently, the cities have joined together on the creation of the Westside Mobility study, Walkable Westside program and the Westside/Central Service Sector Governing Council.

Some of the accomplishments are listed below and form a strong foundation for the evolving work of the Westside Cities COG.
