Mayor’s Corner By Mayor Adele Andrade-Stadler

Hello Alhambra!

February brings us a few celebrations in our city we hope you will enjoy. is Lunar New Year marks the year of the Rabbit. In Chinese culture, the rabbit symbolizes longevity, peace and prosperity. We will celebrate on Main Street for a full day in the hopes you will have an opportunity to bring your family and friends and enjoy the afternoon. ere will be plenty of vendors with a variety of activities.

A reminder that as we continue to conserve and streamline services, the city now provides online parking permits. Please make sure you are able to convert without delay. Also, our Pedestrian and Bike Safety Plan needs your input, so please ll out online forms today from the website https://walkbikemovealhambra. altaplanning.cloud/ to let us know how we can better promote and support active transportation (human-powered) in the city.

Last month, I had the opportunity to attend a small business summit at the Los Angeles County Public Works o ces on Fremont. e summit was organized by Supervisor Solis, and various departments within LA County that serve small businesses. I look forward to meeting with many of the heads of departments to bring opportunities to our city.

I have had many residents have questions about housing. e Housing Rights Center improved their website, making it more user friendly. You may seek appointments online, and they still serve residents in person here in Alhambra on ursdays and Fridays in multiple languages. Check them out at www. housingrightscenter.org.

Stay healthy Alhambra!
