  • 1 MICROPILE FOUNDATIONS for RECONSTRUCTION of HISTORIC LA LOMA BRIDGE in PASADENA, CALIFORNIA Casey Garneau1 ABSTRACT
    MICROPILE FOUNDATIONS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORIC LA LOMA BRIDGE IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA Casey Garneau1 ABSTRACT: The historic La Loma Bridge, which crosses the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena, California, was built in 1914 to replace the 1898 California Street Bridge. The bridge is an open spandrel concrete arch bridge with a neoclassical design, which draws inspiration from Greek and Roman architectural design features with Renaissance interpretations of the classical forms. Inspired by the City Beautiful Movement, the bridge was built in response to the advent of the automobile and the increase in population in the surrounding areas. Built just a year after, the La Loma Bridge, pictured in Figure 1, displays similarities of its “big sister”, Pasadena’s famous Colorado Street Bridge, nicknamed “Suicide Bridge”, which spans the Arroyo Seco less than a mile away. While the Colorado Street bridge connected Pasadena to Los Angeles, the La Loma Bridge played a substantial part in Pasadena’s development of the west side of the Arroyo, largely called San Rafael Heights, which was annexed by the City of Pasadena by the completion of this bridge. For several years, the two bridges were the only crossings over the Lower Arroyo and represent the city’s economic and physical need to facilitate automobile traffic over the Arroyo, while also providing impressive picturesque structures for the nearby communities. Figure 1 – Original La Loma Bridge 1 Project Manager, Malcolm Drilling Co., Inc., 4926 North Azusa Canyon Rd., Irwindale, CA 91706 USA, phone (626) 338-0035, fax (626) 338-7113, [email protected] 1 On July 14, 2004, the bridge was added to the National Register for Historic Places under both Criterion A and C for its significance in transportation history and embodiment of distinguishing features of a Neoclassical bridge design and reflection of the City Beautiful movement in Pasadena.

Anapamu Street, Suite 204A Santa Barbara, California 93101 MARCH 2018 FINAL FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR JET PROPULSION LABORATORY PERIODIC SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING ACTIVITIES ON-SITE AND IN THE ARROYO SECO 1.0 INTRODUCTION Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S. Code [USC] 4321, et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 1500-1508), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) policy and procedures (14 CFR Part 1216, Subpart 1216.3), NASA has made a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to the proposed JPL Periodic Scientific Development and Testing Activities On-Site and in the Arroyo Seco. NASA has reviewed the Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) prepared for the proposed periodic scientific development and testing activities and determined that it presents an accurate and adequate analysis of the scope and level of associated environmental impacts. NASA hereby incorporates the PEA by reference in this FONSI. The PEA programmatically assesses environmental impacts associated with a suite of outdoor scientific development and testing activities at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on-site and within other appropriate landscapes in close proximity to NASA JPL, including the adjacent Arroyo Seco. These outdoor testing actions are small-scale, non-intrusive, short-duration outdoor testing, verification, and calibration activities, and are necessary to support and fulfill NASA scientific and technology demonstration missions as well as tasks conducted by NASA JPL under technology development agreement with other Federal agencies.

BILL PHASE II FROM SHERIFF PATZERT TO SPEAK AT SIERRA MADRE FOR HALLOWEEN FOR CONTRACTING OUT MADRE KIWANIS CLUB POLICE SERVICES After receiving the recommendation not to contract out Police services to the LA Sheriff’s Department from the Public Safety Ad Hoc Committee, the City Council decided to move forward with the second phase of the proposal process. The committee, which was chaired by Former Mayor Glenn Lambdin met the day before with representatives of the Sheriff’s Department and members of the community and submitted their findings to the council. Speaker after speaker came to the podium on Tuesday in support of the Police Department with many offering to write checks on the spot to help raise the necessary funds to keep the department going. The primary opposition to changing to the Sheriff’s Department has been the LASD’s ‘lack of understanding of the culture of Sierra Madre and its’ ability to adapt accordingly’. Other residents cited that the Sheriff’s Department proposals would On Tuesday, November 3rd, Dr. Bill Patzert greatly diminish our law enforcement footprint will address the Sierra Madre Kiwanis Club on and real dollar savings would not be realized until preparing ourselves for the upcoming El Niño. two - seven years after the contract goes into effect, depending on which option is chosen.

  • Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley a Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco
    Page 1 Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco By Tim Brick Geographically and historically the Arroyo Seco has played an important role in the development of water resources in Southern California. The Natural History Geology divided the Arroyo Seco into three distinct sections with very different hydrologic characteristics: 1) the precipitous upper mountain watershed; 2) the Raymond Basin area including Pasadena and surrounding communities; and 3) the region below the Raymond Dyke in South Pasadena and northeast Los Angeles. • About half the length and area of the Arroyo Seco lies in the upper mountain watershed. This is the front range of the Sierra Madre or San Gabriel Mountains, well known for their harsh conditions. Fierce rainstorms and raging forest fires periodically attack the steep erosion-prone slopes in this relatively small upper watershed (32 square miles) to create the conditions for substantial floods that occasionally roar into the heavily populated communities below. As the Arroyo Seco emerges from the San Gabriel Mountains, its steep descent slows and the waters cut through an alluvial plain. Beneath this region, which includes La Cafiada-Flintridge, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and part of Arcadia, lies the Raymond Basin - a massive bowl of alluvial sand and gravel filled with water. The south rim of the basin is the Raymond Dyke, a geological fault that runs from Highland Park to Raymond Hill at Pasadena’s southern boundaiy with South Pasadena and then through San Marino just north of Huntington Drive to Santa Anita Canyon on the east side of Arcadia.

  • Appendix Iv.H.1
    APPENDIX IV.H.1 Historic Resources Evaluation Report, Wilshire Grand Hotel Prepared by Galvin Preservation Associates, May 2010 HISTORIC RESOURCE EVALUATION REPORT WILSHIRE GRAND HOTEL August 2009 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose and Qualifications The purpose of this report is to determine and set forth whether or not a development project (sometimes referred to as the “Project”) will impact historic resources. The project site is located at 930 Wilshire Boulevard in downtown of Los Angeles, and is occupied by the Wilshire Grand Hotel. Constructed in 1952, the Wilshire Grand Hotel is not currently designated a landmark at the national, state, or local levels. Nor has it been previously evaluated as significant in any historic resource surveys. As such, the Wilshire Grand Hotel was evaluated as a historic resource for the first time as part of this report. Teresa Grimes, Laura Vanaskie and Ben Taniguchi of Galvin Preservation Associates were responsible for the preparation of this report, which was submitted to Christopher A. Joseph & Associates. All three preparers fulfill the qualifications for historic preservation professionals outlined in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 61. Resumes are attached. 1.2 Methodology In conducting the analysis of potential historic resources and impacts, the following tasks were performed: 1. Conducted a field inspection of the project site and surrounding area to determine the study area and to identify potential historic resources. The study area was identified as the Wilshire Grand Hotel property. 2. Researched the Wilshire Grand Hotel to determine whether or not it is currently listed as a landmark at the national, state, or local levels and whether or not it has been previously evaluated as a historic resource.

River Final Report - 1 - RE-ENVISIONING THE L.A. RIVER: A PROGRAM OF COMMUNITY AND ECOLOGICAL REVITALIZATION A REPORT ON THE 40 FORUMS, EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, AND PROJECTS HELD DURING 1999-2000 BACKGROUND “Landscapes tell stories,” filmmaker Wim Wenders declared, “and the Los Angeles River tells a story of violence and danger.” Wenders made these remarks during one of the sessions of the Re-Envisioning the L.A. River program, a year-long series hosted by the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College. Wenders’ comments were made as part of a panel discussion on how Hollywood films have presented the Los Angeles River as a backdrop for the stories those films tell. The Hollywood panel was one of the programs supported by a Community Heritage grant from the California Council for the Humanities. This Report describes the 40 “Re-Envisioning the L.A. River” events and activities that took place between August 1999 and September 2000. The Report also discusses the broader goals of the Re- Envisioning series, including transforming the discourse around the River and the urban environment of Los Angeles and encouraging actions for community and ecological revitalization.
