City Completes Weed Abatement and Passes Inspection



The City of La Cañada Flintridge has officially completed weed abatement and brush clearance on all City-owned properties, successfully passing inspection on Wednesday, June 11.

As fire season begins, this serves as an important reminder for residents to take similar steps to protect their own homes. Removing overgrown brush and clearing dry vegetation is one of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk and safeguard our community.

Clean Power Alliance Town Hall

Big changes are coming to LCF's energy service this October! Beginning this fall, your electricity will be purchased by Clean Power Alliance (CPA) and delivered by Southern California Edison (SCE). You’ll still receive one bill from SCE and there’s no extra charge, as CPA will simply replace the electricity generation portion of your bill.

Curious about how it works and what choices are available to you? Join us for an informational town hall on Tuesday, July 22 at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers (One Civic Center Drive). If you can't make this town hall, the City and CPA will be hosting another on August 26 at 6 p.m. Learn how CPA will serve our community and what it means for your home or business!

E-Bike Safety Tips

La Cañada Flintridge has experienced a rise in incidents involving minors operating e-motorcycles and e-bikes unsafely on public roads. Community reports suggest some riders may be engaging in risky behaviors that can lead to serious consequences for themselves and others.

A few key safety reminders for e-bike use:

• Follow the law: All riders must obey traffic laws. Operating any motorized vehicle recklessly or without proper licensing and safety equipment can result in fines, citations or legal consequences.
• Avoid risky behavior: Unsafe riding — such as speeding, ignoring traffic signals or evading attention from law enforcement — greatly increases the risk of collisions and injury. In 2021, nearly 1 in 5 vehicle pursuits in California ended in a crash.
• Parental responsibility matters: The safest approach is for parents to ensure their children are riding age-appropriate vehicles and using them legally and responsibly. Supervising and educating young riders goes a long way in promoting safe habits.

Please talk with your children about the importance of making safe choices when using e-bikes and e-motorcycles. Responsible riding protects not only the rider, but also everyone else on the road.
