Attached to this post is a letter from the Glendale Public Works Dept. regarding future plans for resurfacing and rehabilitating Glenoaks Blvd.
In short, Glenoaks Blvd. from Verdugo Rd., to the entrance to the baseball fields will receive a couple of different types of rehabilitation. Parts of the road will receive slurry sealing while other sections will get rubberized asphalt concrete overlay with selective pavement removal and replacement. These repairs will start sometime in the summer of 2012 and will be completed by the end of the year. Reported potholes in the canyon will be repaired sometime in the near future.
The letter from the City Engineer can be read here:

In response to the outpouring of emails, petitions signatures, and letters, the Glendale City Council has decided to keep the Chevy Chase Library open, and to not transfer it to the Dept. of Community Services and Parks!!! This is GREAT news and a powerful testament to what can be accomplished when we make our voices heard.
Many of the Library advocates are now shifting modes and instead of asking the City Council to “SAVE OUR LIBRARY” plan to express their thanks – both in letters and in person. The City Council often only hears protests, and we want them to hear the positive side of their decisions.
If you’d like, feel free to write to the Mayor and the City Council and thank them for preserving our library. At issue still, is Chevy Chase Library’s dearth of books and library-sponsored programs. The Mayor and Council are working hard to find ways to fund this. Please thank them for their efforts and express your deep hope that this can happen!!
Mayor Laura Friedman lfriedman@ci.glendale.ca.us
Council Member Frank Quintero fquintero@ci.glendale.ca.us
Council Member Dave Weaver dweaver@ci.glendale.ca.us
Council Member Rafi Manoukian rmanoukian@ci.glendale.ca.us
Council Member Ara Najarian anajarian@ci.glendale.ca.us
If you had already planned to attend the City Council mtg on Tues, June 8th at 6:00pm, and would now like to express your thanks instead, you can join a handful of families who plan to present the kids’ letters, and express their thanks and what the library means to them.
If you have any questions or plan to go with a child, please let Pamela Tom know at Ptomfilm@yahoo.com. She would like to let the Mayor know how many kids plan to be there, so that they may make special accommodations.
Congratulations and thank you to all who signed a petition, wrote a letter, supported this effort, and made your voices heard.
The Chevy Chase Community Library may soon cease to exist. Despite promises to make improvements to our library and update its collection, a proposal to transfer it to the Community Services and Parks department and provide “minimal library services” is now being considered by the City Council. This will spell the end of our community library.
PLEASE ACT NOW.
You can make a difference by:
SIGNING the E-PETITION at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/chevychaselib/
SENDING an EMAIL TO OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS expressing why you feel it’s important to maintain a library in the canyon:
SENDING “LETTERS to the EDITOR” of 250 words or less to jason.wells@latimes.com
ATTENDING the June 7th City Council Meeting with your kids and LETTING YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
Below is a video that includes information about the proposal before City Council and what the city has already done to this vital and important community resource.
And here is a video of canyon resident Pamela Tom addressing City Council in opposition of the proposal.
Officer Sue Shine from the Glendale Police Department will be at Joe Bridges Clubhouse at Glenoaks Park this coming Thursday, May 26th from 6-8 PM to help us set up a Neighborhood Watch Program here in the canyon. Hope you can join us for this important meeting.
