Temple City’s Las Tunas Drive Streetscape Enhancement Project to Hold Community Meeting - Nov. 14 With the design phase of the Las Tunas Drive streetscape enhancement project kicking into high gear, the City of Temple City invites the public to “get engaged” at the first community meeting Wednesday, Nov. 14, 7 p.m. at Live Oak Park Community Center (10144 Bogue St.). Chinese translation, light refreshments and childcare services will be available. Local residents and business owners are strongly encouraged to attend and share their ideas for how to transform Las Tunas Drive—traditionally the City’s downtown main street—into a more inviting, pedestrian-friendly destination.

Facilitating the meeting will be the project’s design team, led by San Franciscobased Freedman, Tung and Sasaki (FTS). After gathering public input at this first workshop, FTS will develop three different concepts to be presented and considered at a second meeting on Dec. 19. “When Las Tunas Drive was designed 50 to 60 years ago, the community really didn’t have a say in how it’d come out,” said Mayor Vincent Yu. “Now with this redesign effort, we’re really trying to engage with the public to solicit new ideas and inject some vitality into the downtown.” With the City recently receiving close to $700,000 in

transportation grants just for enhancements on Las Tunas Drive—including traffic signal upgrades and additional bicycle facilities—there is great hope that this project will transform the corridor from its current condition as a passthrough thoroughfare, into a true downtown destination with an inviting and vibrant “village” atmosphere. “By increasing mobility options for people to safely travel within and into our downtown area, these efforts will be crucial in supporting the City’s economic development,” said Yu. For more information about the meeting or the project, contact the City Manager’s Office at (626) 285-2171.

Temple City Passes Measure S, El Monte Rejects Measure H A $129 million bond initiative for school infrastructure improvements in Temple City Unified School District has been approved The measure was ap-

proved by 63 percent of voters Tuesday, with 37 percent opposing it. The measure needed 55 percent of the vote to pass. The so called Soda Tax, which was El Mon-

te’s push to pass a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages ended up on a sour note in Tuesday’s election ., only 23 percent backed the contreoversial measure.

The Kensington Assisted Living Facility Gets the Thumbs -Up in Sierra Madre Measure ALF in Sierra Madre passed with nearly 80 percent approving the 60,000-square-foot project which will replace the empty, some say blighted property of the skilled

nursing facility that has been vacant for sometime across from city hall. Support on the fivemember council was unanimous. The Kensington assist-

ed-living facility will be a two-story, 75-unit building with space for 96 seniors and disabled residents. It also contains some groundfloor retail spaces fronting Sierra Madre Boulevard.

Sierra Madre Resident Alex Luu Teaches Storytelling/Performing Workshop in South El Monte High School Acclaimed performance artist/Sierra Madre resident Alex Luu, through the Ford Theatre Foundation, will be facilitating/teaching MY OWN STORY (MOS), an autobiographical storytelling/ performing workshop for students at South El Monte High School. The workshop began Oct 9 (Tue & Thu) and runs through the end of November. MOS is a uniquely creative & empowering workshop that gives student participants the rare opportunity to delve into and explore their own autobiographical stories. The students will come into a safe, creative, and nurturing space wherein they will be able to delve into and address issues/themes such as racism, family dynamics, body/gender politics, cultural/ethnic heritage, and identity, all from a Latino(a)/Chicano(a) perspective. The MOS students will engage in interactive theater games/activities, body & voice movement techniques & methodology, memory exercises, and indepth writing prompts. From these activities and writing prompts, they will create and perform their own stories (in the context of stories, monologues, and performance art) based on autobiographical stories explored and created during the workshop. These are stories that go deep beyond the surface; stories that have historically and culturally been under represented, stereotyped, and misappropriated by mainstream media & culture. These are stories that are
