Concerned About Trucks What is going on with transportation in Los Angeles County that has changed the traffic pattern in our little community so quickly? Have you noticed the shift? The recent accidents on the 210 Freeway involving big rig trucks concern me a great deal and I fear it will only get worse. As […]
Boy Scout Offers Thoughts on Sidewalks I am a Boy Scout from Troop 390 in La Crescenta. I am working on my Communications badge and wanted to write to you about the missing sidewalks of La Crescenta. I really like living here but one thing I have noticed is the lack of sidewalks. If my […]
Taking a closer look I write to comment on two items in the Dec. 16 issue, related only in that both concern what is there, and not there. Re: “MSPA to assume full control of the Montrose War Memorial,” except for two temporary-looking signs which recently appeared in the flower-beds, nowhere on the actual memorial […]
WARNING TO BE VIGILANT The catastrophic mutilation of the prized Moreton Bay Fig tree in La Crescenta is the latest in a series of debacles that have given rise to a reawakening in our community – a renewed and blistering realization that our heritage and aesthetic values remain completely vulnerable within unincorporated L.A.

When we were asked if we could count on enough community participation, our answer was, “Yes!” With only one month to complete this project, we received more […]
CITY COUNCIL HEARD AND RESPONDS In a recent edition of the CV Weekly, I read with interest Scott Ziegler’s letter to the editor titled “Flirting With Disaster In Montrose” [Viewpoints, Oct. 21] and thought that his observations and comments deserved a response. The issue of speeding in the Montrose Shopping Park is not new. Vehicles […]
URGES TESTING PARTICIPATION In April 2009 Crescenta Valley High School implemented a voluntary drug-testing program. I would like to encourage every CVHS family to participate in this program. Drug use and abuse is in every community and our small corner of the world is no exception. Some parents may believe their kids are not participating […]
letters to the editor Appreciates the call to action Jim Chase’s articles are always on-point and much appreciated. His column of Feb. 11 (“A storm of accusations”) was quite compelling with the “call to take responsibility” much needed. Thank you, Jim, for taking time to write each week, whether it’s humorous or serious. Your use […]
