The City Council’s recently appointed Canyon Zone Committee is developing new zoning standards that would pertain to the Upper and Lower Canyon areas. The Committee identified parking issues and accessibility of the Canyon to emergency response vehicles, as major concerns.
To assist with the review process, the City of Sierra Madre and the Canyon Zone Committee are currently conducting a comprehensive review of the parking conditions in both the upper and lower canyons. Planning, Public Works, Police and Fire Departments will work with a traffic engineer to evaluate general circulation and parking issues.
Throughout the process, Canyon residents may notice an increase in public safety presence as well as members of the Canyon Zone Committee in the streets as they survey parking conditions and street access for emergency vehicles.
The council said that they wished to remind all residents to be mindful of the current parking restrictions; including overnight parking, red curbs, and time restrictions, as the current restrictions will continue to be enforced.
The Canyon Zone Committee will begin discussions of the parking review at their November 17 meeting. For more information please call 626-355-7135.
