Meeting Tonight on Hahamongna Truck Routes

The County Department of Public Works is holding a meeting at 6 p.m.tonight at to get public inputs on a dam clean-out plan that could put public works trucks on the streets of Altadena and La Cañada Flintridge as early as June 17.

The plan is to haul 25,000 cubic yards of dirt out of the Hahamongna Watershed Park and would involve a steady stream of trucks running up and down city streets for at least two months this summer.

Currently, the department has three proposed routes, two through Altadena.  One would involve trucks traveling up through a JPL parking lot, then onto the streets starting at the intersection of Windsor and Ventura.  The trucks would then travel up and down Windsor to the 210 Freeway.

The second in Altadena involves heading through even narrower residential streets on La Canada Verdugo Road and Oak Grove Drive over to Windsor.

On the La Cañada Flintridge side, the third route would go on to Oak Grove Boulevard to Berkshire Avenue and the freeway, passing right by La Cañada High School.
