Location of proposed Route 66 signs.

At its next meeting (agenda here) the Monrovia City Council will ...

~ Consider adding Route 66 signs on the old routes through town in anticipation of the road's 2026 centennial. The signs will mark the original 1926-1934 route along Shamrock and Foothill, with refreshed signage on Huntington Drive (Route 66 started along Foothill then was switched to Huntington Drive). There will be 16 signs, 12 replacements on Huntington, directional signs at key intersections, and "Historic Old Town" and bypass signs. Details

~ Hold a final public hearing on the proposed assessment district. This will be you last chance if you want to give the City Council your thoughts. Here is the city staff report on the proposed district and here is an earlier news report. 

~  Consider an amendment to zoning rules to support bungalow court development. Bungalow courts are defined as multi-family homes arranged around a shared landscaped courtyard. The amendment would set size limits for these structures - height, width, depth - and allows their placement in front and side setbacks when part of a bungalow court. Details

Maximus, a well-mannered and gentle giant, is for free in November


Maximus is a 9-year-old brown pit bull mix at Pasadena Humane who is all heart and ready for a new beginning. An Eaton Fire survivor who lost his home, this gentle giant hasn’t let hardship dim his spirit. Calm, affectionate, and well-mannered – according to his beloved foster family - Maximus is potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is a perfect gentleman in the house.

He enjoys leisurely walks, relaxing in the sun, and soaking up affection from everyone he meets. Maximus would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can be the center of attention and love.

Come meet Maximus at Pasadena Humane — and take him (or another senior sweetheart) home for free this November during Senior Pet Month!

The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
