City Council Meeting, 9/22/26

The City Council meeting of Glendora on September 22, 2026, focused heavily on the First Last Mile project, a transportation infrastructure initiative aimed at improving bike lanes, pedestrian access, and traffic safety along Glendora Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The council reviewed the 100% design plans, discussed community feedback including concerns about lane reductions, traffic flow, and landscaping, and authorized the city engineer to approve minor non-material revisions. The project is federally funded with a $5 million earmark and is moving toward construction bidding and management. Additionally, the council appropriated $11.88 million for street and facility improvements, with bids received and under review for award. The meeting also included approval of a public works agreement with Aquatra LLC for a new water customer web portal system, and a discussion on board and commission vacancies and training requirements. A proclamation for National Night Out was presented, and updates on public meeting requirements under recent state legislation were provided. Motions related to procurement included the authorization to proceed with construction management procurement for the transportation project and approval of the water portal contract. The council emphasized balancing community concerns with project progress and funding deadlines.
