Bus Service to be Restored in Canyon

It appears that the MTA will be bringing bus service back into Glenoaks Canyon. According to comments made at the October 25th City Council Meeting, the bus route will be restored starting on December 11th for 5 or 6 trips per day. The City Council heard from many people in the canyon.  The result of our actions is a prime example of what we can do to affect change in our city. A big thank you to all of the canyon residents who wrote letters to the MTA and city council members and especially to Angie Vukos who kept the fight going.

This is great news for many people in the canyon who rely on public transportation.

Rehabilitation Plans for Glenoaks Blvd.

Attached to this post is a letter from the Glendale Public Works Dept. regarding future plans for resurfacing and rehabilitating Glenoaks Blvd.

In short, Glenoaks Blvd. from Verdugo Rd., to the entrance to the baseball fields will receive a couple of different types of rehabilitation. Parts of the road will receive slurry sealing while other sections will get rubberized asphalt concrete overlay with selective pavement removal and replacement. These repairs will start sometime in the summer of 2012 and will be completed by the end of the year. Reported potholes in the canyon will be repaired sometime in the near future.
