The city of La Cañada Flintridge is a member of the Arroyo Verdugo Communities Joint Powers Authority that also includes Glendale, La Crescenta/Montrose, Burbank, Pasadena and South Pasadena. The joint powers authority will receive a total of $24.1 million through Measure M, a countywide sales tax passed by voters in 2016, to be distributed throughout member areas in a five-year period.
Funds will be divided on a per capita basis, with La Cañada Flintridge’s total five-year allocation estimated at $1 million. Options currently being considered include funding for sound walls, a contribution to the Foothill Boulevard Link Bikeway and Pedestrian Greenbelt project, as well as shuttle stops at the city’s Town Center and La Cañada Flintridge Country Club.
