The City of Azusa is nestled at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Its gentle slopes rise into the Angeles National Forest and overlook the San Gabriel Valley. The natural beauty is year round in Azusa. You'll find living in Azusa a friendly experience, meeting personalities through community churches, local schools, and civic events. Azusa is an excellent place to raise a family. The ambiance is that of a small community with strong historical roots, dating back to 1887 when the city was founded.
People working together to make the community a better place to live and work, is what the Azusa Chamber of Commerce is all about. Our Mission is to "serve as a catalyst in the transformation of business and economic climate, resulting in a healthier, more prosperous Azusa."

Metro Goldline Foothill Extension Update

Pasadena to Azusa Extension:
The Construction Authority and Skanska USA (the design-build team for the I-210 Bridge project) are in the final stages of design, and are now ramping up to start construction of the I-210 Bridge. In April and May, work commenced on pre-construction activities, including installation of the temporary soundwall and erosion-control measures. In June, grading will begin on the center and southern freeway medians, and a temporary retaining wall will be built along the center median. This effort will allow clearance of the right-of-way for the large construction equipment that will need to gain access to the bridge site over the next year of construction. Work on the bridge structure’s foundations will begin this summer, keeping the project on schedule to be completed in mid-2012.
Award of the design-build contract is anticipated in July for the Pasadena to Azusa Alignment package. This package will include construction of the six stations, maintenance and operations facility, 11.5-miles of track, crossings and much more. Construction on the Pasadena to Azusa Alignment will commence in mid-2012 with completion in late 2014.

Azusa to Montclair Extension:
The Construction Authority is underway on a new environmental review of the Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair. The proposed project will extend the line 12.6-miles east of Azusa and include stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair.
In January, scoping meetings were held (formally beginning the environmental process) and in April and May community workshops were conducted for each of the station areas. Feedback received helped better define the station area plans and finalize the Project Description, which defines the project for environmental analysis.
Publication of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is anticipated in August 2011. Clearing the project under state and federal regulations positions the project for possible state or federal funding.

Plastic Bag Ban to Take Effect July 1

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a measure to ban plastic bags at grocery stores and other shops in unincorporated Los Angeles County areas.
The goal of the ordinance is to get people to use their reusable bags. It applies to grocery stores, drug stores, liquor stores and convenience stores.
Customers would no longer have plastic bags as an option. They would need to bring in their own reusable bag or they could purchase a paper one for 10 cents. That's to pay the store for the cost of the bag.
