Taking Care of Our Youth
Welcome the Firehouse-our new Youth house
Thank you to St. Luke's for their wonderful donation to the community. After months of hard work by local friends,
parents, kids and community organizations the Firehouse is ready for its new grand opening.
 The Firehouse will be a safe hangout for our local youth. For now the Firehouse will be available to high school kids on Tuesday
6pm-9pm. The goal is to have the firehouse open 5 days a week 3-6 for middle school and 6-9 for high school kids. The firehouse
has a rec. room with a pool table, fooseball and pinball machine. The main gathering room has plenty of chairs, couches and
tables. In addition there is a private counseling room and homework room. The Firehouse will have
adult supervision at all times and will be looking to the community for volunteers to keep our kids safe.
CVWD Water Rate Hikes
Are the rate hikes justified...
Thank you for your conservation and because you conserved the Water District

plans to reduce water allocation to The CVWD.
Your community your water
district have they heard your voice? The Board will vote on the matter Nov. 17th.

La Crescenta Community Trail
Option A,B,C,D were provided to the

channel behind homes starting at El Caminito and La Crescenta Avenue traveling behind homes up to, through or up to Pineglen
Avenue what our community wants and needs.
 How do we connect the Rim of the Valley Trails to La Crescenta?

options, it's up to the community to choose.

Glendale Unified School Board approves a vote to put Measure S Bond on April 5th Ballot
Originall Measure K was approved in 1997 in the amount of $186 million with 74%
voter approval. The new ballot measure will require 55% voter approval,
 An extension of this bond Measure S as it will be presented would provide more money to the districts schools. Bond money
in 1997 was used to repair, renovate and expand the district's 21 aging campuses.
An extension of the bond would go
toward updating science labs, catching up with technology and expanding vocational skills in our schools. Voice you oppinion

710 Tunnel Controversy Continues
Traffic has increased and
multiple Big Rig accidents have impacted our local 210 Freeway as of late. Is this the sign of things our community can expect
more of if the 710 tunnel comes to fruition?
Our community does have a voice. Where does the community
stand? How will the tunnel effect our Foothill communities?
Where do residents turn to support or resist the building
of the tunnel.
