HOLLYWOOD — The following letters respond to recent reporting in The Times. They have been edited for length and clarity.

Regarding “A Year On, the Walk of Fame Repaving Is Still Only Half Done” (April 21): your reporter counted the finished panels. I count the ones still fenced off in front of my shop, where I have now kept a stretch of chain-link as a storefront neighbor for the better part of a year. They cut a ribbon on this last spring. I would like to know which spring they intend to cut the last one. Until then I will keep telling visitors that yes, this is the famous sidewalk, and no, they cannot walk on this part of it. — Ignatius Boyle, Hollywood Boulevard

“New Tuesday Night Market Opens Along the Boulevard” (April 9) was a happy piece, and I am a happy neighbor, mostly. The market is the best thing to arrive on our block in years — food carts, a little live music, families out past dark, small vendors finally getting a night of their own. I ask only that the organizers spare a thought for the people who live above it. By eleven the street is loud and the parking is gone for six blocks. Keep the market. Please also keep back a little of the quiet. — Corinne Adeyemi, East Hollywood

I nearly wept reading “Library Reading Room Reopening Set for July After Long Retrofit” (May 2). My daughter started high school the autumn that room closed and will begin her final year the autumn it reopens; the entire middle of her schooling passed without it. I am glad it is coming back. I am also keeping the date in pencil, because this city has trained me to keep all of its dates in pencil. Prove me wrong in July. I would dearly love to be wrong. — Hester Vaudrey, Little Armenia

Regarding “Skate Park Under the 101 Finally Nears a June Opening” (April 30): I have a son who was nine when this park was first promised and is fifteen now, too cool to admit he still wants it and not too cool to ask me, quietly, whether it is really happening this time. I told him I did not know. After this many broken dates, I will not get his hopes up on the city’s behalf. If the gates open in June, I will take him myself and say nothing about how long it took. If they do not, I will have been right to say nothing. — Warren Delahaye, East Hollywood

“The Runyon Canyon 10K Will Return in June After Six Years” (May 5) was the headline I had given up hoping to read. I ran the last one before it went dark, and I have run that hill alone every year since, timing myself against a race that no longer existed. In June I will finally have company on the climb again. To the organizers who kept the flame lit through six dormant years: thank you, and I promise not to complain about the entry fee. — Delphine Marsh, Beachwood Canyon
