DSPNA Outage & Road Closure Updates - February 25 - March 1, 2023

March 1, 2023

We have word that Doheny has reopened north of Oriole.

February 26, 2023

6:00 pm update

The tree that was down on Crescent Heights has been cleared. The road is open and the line has been repaired.

4:00 pm update

Upper Sunset Plaza and Doheny Estates are still without power. We believe that this is part of a Studio City-based outage. The LADWP outage map shows a predicted restore time TOMORROW for some of the Studio City outages, so this is definitely a possible scenario.

12:30 pm update:

Looks like the Queens crew turned the power back on. Still waiting in Doheny Estates. Now we need to find out what’s going on with Spectrum.

12:00 pm update:

Crew en route to fix outage in Doheny Estates.

11:30 am update:

Crews are at work on Queens. Queens is closed at Sunset.

9 am update:

DWP is saying that nearly half of outages have been handled. No new specific info.

February 25. 2023

8 pm update:

One outage on the LADWP map reports a crew “en route.” Crews will be working all night. New map posted.

5 pm update:

New map. No new info from LADWP.

3 pm update:

New map. We are increasingly hearing that residents are being told to expect power to be restored tomorrow, February 26th.
