First came thousands of fans grieving the death of the King of Pop. Then came the mob of media, including a dozen TV trucks camping in front of Michael Jackson's childhood home. Then came the complaints from neighbors saying, enough is enough! Finally, a city response has slowed the onslaught that has damaged lawns and sprinkler systems at homes near the Encino shrine. 'Anything like this has been a major inconvenience to one's life,' said Laurie Kelson, vice president of the Encino Neighborhood Council, which is hosting a special meeting Wednesday to address the issue. 'Under the circumstances, the police and the parking enforcement have done a very good job.' In the wake of Jackson's untimely death on June 25, the Jackson family home on Hayvenhurst Avenue north of Ventura Boulevard has been a mecca for fans and media. In response to concerns about privacy, public safety and emergency access, Los Angeles police and city transportation officials worked with the neighborhood council and newly elected Councilman Paul Koretz to address the problem. Access to Hayvenhurst was limited to locals. Parking was restricted on surrounding streets. Most media trucks were banned. And vendors hawking Jackson T-shirts and other memorabilia were banished from the area. Though visitors continue to hike in -- up to 200 a day at one one point -- the crowds have diminished. Residents hope that traffic will cease after today's public memorial service downtown. 'The efforts that we were pushing for and were implemented have seemed to work,' said Encino Neighborhood Council President Rob Glushon. 'The important thing is that these narrow hillside streets are now clear and unobstructed for emergency use and residential use.'
