NOTICE
SAN RAFAEL
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLOSURE
UPDATE
The current program at
San Rafael Elementary School
(SRES) is scheduled to move to the
Allendale Elementary School site
adjacent to the Blair Complex in
July of 2017. The PUSD Board of
Education approved the move
November 7, 2013 and allocated
approximately $4 million in
Measure TT funds for modernization
of Allendale.
With
planned vacancy at San Rafael, the
Board adhered to State statute by
appointing a 7-11 Advisory
Committee charged with determining
the "limits of tolerance of the
community" for re-use of
the vacated site.
In
January 2014 the Advisory
Committee held the first of eight
(8) public meetings, concluding
its work during the May 28th
meeting.
The final
report from the Advisory Committee
is scheduled for presentation to
the Board of Education on Thursday
June 26th.
Input
from neighbors throughout this
process has been invaluable.
Thanks to
all who participated and to the
volunteers who served on the
Advisory Committee!

LA LOMA
BRIDGE CLOSURE
UPDATE
Due to delays by
Caltrans, the closure of the La Loma
Bridge will
be delayed until
the Spring
of 2015. City officials are
expecting approval later this year and
calls for bids for construction by the
end of the year. Construction is
expected to conclude in the Fall of 2016.
SRNA is
thankful for the many suggestions made
by neighbors during the Association's
February meeting. These suggestions
were presented at the Pasadena
Transportation Advisory Commission
(TAC) in May and submitted to city
officials. SRNA will continue to work
with the city and staff on a final
traffic mitigation plan as the
actual construction start is
finalized.

Music
Festival
CULTURE
CHANGE FOR THE ROSE BOWL
and CENTRAL
ARROYO?
In a bid for permanent
annual revenue the City of Pasadena
and the Rose Bowl Operating Company
(RBOC) are negotiating with promoters
for the use of the Central Arroyo and
the Rose Bowl for a multi-day music
event anticipated as early as June
2015.
Such an event will result
in displacement of regularly scheduled
recreation activities in the Central
Arroyo, new challenges for Pasadena
law enforcement and intensified
headaches for neighboring residents.
An Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) is planned to evaluate
local impacts.
Public comment regarding
these impacts will be taken at two
scheduled meetings to be held at the
Rose Bowl in the Loge Lounge, Level
D, of the Terry Donahue Pavilion:
Thursday
June 12, 2014 - 6:30pm
Saturday
June 14, 2014 - 10:00am
(Parking at
Gate F; Enter at Gate C)
Please plan
to attend one of these meetings.
