Linda Vista Residents Asked to Weigh in on Vacant School Site

The Linda Vista-Annandale Association in Pasadena will host a public forum Thursday to gather resident opinions on the future of a vacant school campus in their neighborhood.

The neighborhood open forum begins at 6 p.m. July 31 in the Mediterranean Room at Brookside Golf Club. The meeting will focus on what residents want to see happen at the former Linda Vista Elementary School site.

LVAA President Eric Kern will open the town hall. District 6 Council Member Steve Madison will deliver remarks about the school and park site.

The forum will include an open discussion period. Residents can speak for two to three minutes each about their ideas for the property.

“Your voice will help guide the Linda Vista Annandale Association as we prepare to advocate with the school board and city officials regarding the fate of the property,” according to an LVAA announcement.

Linda Vista Elementary School closed June 30, 2006, when the Pasadena Unified School District shuttered the campus.

Residents who cannot attend the meeting can complete an online survey by July 29, accessible through https://forms.gle/kgtJxSJigk9XqQp79. The association encourages neighbors to share the invitation and survey with others in the Linda Vista and Annandale areas.

The Linda Vista-Annandale Association is Pasadena’s oldest neighborhood group. It was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1930.

The organization also announced it will co-sponsor a National Night Out event Aug. 5 at the Linda Vista Library. The association’s annual membership drive is currently underway.

Information about membership is available on the LVAA website, https://lvaa.net/.
