Read MoreThis Jaguar dealership is not a welcome addition to our community. They alienate the community by improperly closing or not closing sidewalks and acting like the driveway which crosses the sidewalk, in a neighborhood that is highly walked, biked, and otherwise used by pedestrians, is their own private drive.Today on my morning walk, I was using the sidewalk on 4th street in front of their service entrance and one of their contractors nearly hit my service dog because he would not yield the right of way to a pedestrian on a sidewalk and wasn't paying attention. Of course, their contractor - someone Jaguar has HIRED - then rolled down his window to yell at me and chastise me for, GASP, using an unblocked off sidewalk. Apparently they had blocked the sidewalk up further where they were working on the corner, but not down to the other corner so pedestrians can actually get notice before they are on top of it and have to cross. There are disabled people in this neighborhood who use this sidewalk. Jaguar doesn't seem to care.I spoke to the manager, who apologized, and then I saw the contract take some cones and block the sidewalk, again, AFTER the driveway, which still does not resolve the problem of their contractor not yielding to a pedestrian on a sidewalk.Please take your business elsewhere. The sooner this bad neighbor is out of our community, the better. I walk by this dealership every single day. Sometimes they have the sidewalk blocked, sometimes they don't. I don't believe for a second that they are following permitting rules for blocking the sidewalk, because they don't actually have signs that state the sidewalk is closed. They are just blocking it at their own prerogative, and putting community members who live and walk/ride on these streets/sidewalks at risk.Oh, and to the contractor who said I was on the phone and not paying attention: check my call logs, I was not on the phone. I had ear buds in, yes, but I was not on the phone, and I was paying attention, otherwise you would have run over my dog, because I had to pull him out of the path of your vehicle. I suppose Jaguar should be synonymous with reckless driving.If you are a Jaguar owner or wanting to use their service, please go elsewhere in support of our community being safe.ETA: I checked the LA City websites and find no current permits on file for this location. I've filed a complaint for an illegal sidewalk closure. I understand you want to renovate the property, but you need to do so in a way that is safe for community members. You are blocking the sidewalk at an intersection with no signage at the opposing corners in any direction to let people know the sidewalk is closed and they need to cross. In fact, there is no signage ANYWHERE that the sidewalk is closed. The only thing you have is cones that you arbitrarily have placed. Furthermore, allowing your contractor to argue with a community member that has been put in danger by your business and his behavior? You should have told him to move along. As I walk by at least once a day, I will be taking pictures daily of the illegal closure and submitting them to the city until the issue is resolved.
