Alhambra Avenue bike lane removal and safety

The city quietly replaced a bike lane near Alhambra High with sharrows, and a packed chamber of families and cyclists demanded it be restored. Council members unanimously signaled support for restoring bike lanes, possibly by removing ~40 parking spaces, but deferred action to November 18 rather than spend $75,000 on a study tonight.

Alhambra Creek wingwall emergency repairs

A concrete wingwall at the Alhambra Avenue crossing over Alhambra Creek became dislocated and risks collapse, threatening the road and nearby utilities. The council was asked to ratify the emergency, fund the fix, and hire a contractor fast.
