Altadena Neighborhood Coalition to Hold Recovery Meeting Tuesday

The Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations said it will hold a virtual meeting on Tuesday, June 24, to discuss ongoing recovery efforts from the devastating Eaton Fire and infrastructure rebuilding plans.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom. Southern California Edison updates will be the main presentation, with questions limited to that topic.

Southern California Edison announced an $860-925 million plan to rebuild electrical infrastructure in Altadena and Malibu. The plan includes undergrounding 63 miles of power lines in Altadena alone.

Questions for the Southern California Edison presentation can be submitted in advance to Nic Arnzen, Communications Committee Chair for the Altadena Town Council, at nic.arnzen@altadenatowncouncil.org, or during the meeting via Zoom chat.

The detailed agenda includes community updates at 7 p.m. on recovery resources, the Lincoln Bridge rebuild and fire recovery fund applications. An Army Corps of Engineers update follows at 7:05 p.m., with UWS updates on scheduled rate increase delays at 7:10 p.m. Vector control will present at 7:15 p.m., followed by the main Southern California Edison presentation at 7:20 p.m.

The Lincoln Avenue bridge was damaged in the fire and has continued to deteriorate, requiring closure for repairs. The roadway closure is expected to last through summer, with a temporary bridge anticipated by late September.

The Altadena Community Center now operates as a temporary Survivor Support Location. It provides services from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Small Business Administration and various Los Angeles County agencies.

The Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations was established in 2010 to help Altadena neighborhood associations and Neighborhood Watch groups network and share best practices. All community members are welcome to attend the virtual meeting.

The Altadena Coalition of Neighborhood Associations has increased its meeting frequency following the January Eaton Fire disaster. The organization typically holds bimonthly meetings but has added extra sessions, with meetings scheduled for February 25, May 27, June 24, August 26, and November 25.
