ith an upcoming council meeting over developments on North Madison Avenue, and several more on the way, the City of Pasadena is facing a larger debate over new buildings in the city. In the wake of the 253 S. Los Robles project defeat, the City of Pasadena has found itself in the uncharted territory of the City Council voting against previously approved housing developments. With many other
“It’s not keeping with the General Plan, and the City Council ran into it.” Groups such as Pasadena Heritage are also worried about the impact new developments can have after being built. “At South Robles, they added a parking lot and height,” said Salimian. “That adds a lot of impact on noise and traffic. Pasadena wasn’t made to deal with that. “Our concern for development is coming from exemptions," continued Salimian. "The state gives permits to ignore development standards. There’s a housing crisis. Like most residents, we aren’t opposed to height

Foothill Unity Center’s 14-Foot Delivery Truck Stolen Wednesday Monrovia Weekly just learned that someone has stolen a non-profit agency’s means of picking up food donations for those less fortunate. Who on earth would steal from such a benevolent, community minded organization that helps those in need? Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2019, Foothill Unity Center
learned that its 14-foot truck was stolen from their parking lot. This truck helps with over 100 weekly pick-ups of their in-kind food donations valued at over $2 million (annually) from all over the San Gabriel Valley area.
