Sister Cites Friendship Path
The City of La Cañada Flintridge is pleased to announce that construction has begun on its Sister Cites Friendship Path, funded by the Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD).
An alternate route to the Descanso Trail entrance into Cherry Canyon will be converted into a new, approximately 1,600-foot-long path and named Sister Cites Friendship Path in honor of the existing relationship with LCF’s sister city, Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain.
Construction is set to be completed in late February. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/48s1yto.
