Duarte

Rain and thunderstorms are in the weather forecast for the City of Duarte. City crews and contractors are still busy collecting green windstorm debris placed in public areas including streets near storm drains from the recent windstorms.

City officials are concerned that blocked storm drains could lead to standing water or flooding in some areas. To avoid this additional complication, residents are asked to check whether water in their street could reach storm drains and, if not, to clear a path for it by moving storm debris as needed.

We had a long conversation with Edison regarding long term implications of the power outage now expected to go through Sunday or Monday.

The Duarte City Council has approved the construction of a 66 unit low-income housing project on Huntington Drive, our main thoroughfare and home to the Historic Route 66. This project will drive businesses out of our city and effectively kill the dream of a downtown Duarte. I need your support to help defend the vision of a Duarte where we can live, work AND play. I need your support to defend the vision of a downtown Duarte.

Join us this Wednesday to STOP this project and protect this vision!
