Termination of the railroad cantilever signal project
A 1915 Santa Fe cantilever signal has sat in storage at Horse Thief Canyon Park since 2021, waiting on donations to build its display at the San Dimas Railroad Museum site in Rhodes Park. Only about $4,000 of an estimated $50,000-$60,000 has been pledged, so the council gave the project 90 days to show real fundraising progress before deciding whether to build it or donate it to another city or museum.
Pickleball Courts at the SportsPlex
Converting a tennis court to four pickleball courts ran into surprise costs — the old slab is 26 inches thick and has electrical conduit buried in it. The council approved the extra $11,150 so the project can finish in February, and held off on $20,000 sound panels until noise complaints actually show up.
