Citywide Level 2 WaterShortage Plan Adopted

 The Pasadena City Council 
voted Monday night to 
adopt the City’s Level 2 
Water Supply Shortage 
Plan requiring additional 
mandatory water restrictions 
for residents and businesses 
effective immediately due 
to the severe drought in 
California. 

 The Council action to adopt 
the Level 2 Plan: 
Bans outdoor watering 
on Thursdays. Outdoor 
watering is now allowed 
only on two days per week, 
Tuesdays and Saturdays, 
before 9 a.m. or after 6 p.m. 

 Adopts a 28-percent water 
conservation goal citywide 
that aligns Pasadena with 
mandated reductions set by 
the State 

Reinforces that violators face 
fines up to $500 per incident 

 Officials with the 
Pasadena Water and Power 
Department (PWP) will 
regularly report back to the 
City Council on progress 
to meet the 28-percent 
conservation goal. If water 
savings are not sufficient 
during the summer, the 
City Council may have to 
mandate additional water 
use restrictions. A new 
“Water Savings Gauge” is 
posted on the homepage 
of the City’s website, www.
cityofpasadena.net, and 
PWP’s webpage, www. 
PWPweb.com, to help chart 
water savings with weekly 
updates.

Free Lecture 
on Sea Ice

In his Nye Lecture, Doug 
MacAyeal provided this 
delightful summary of the 
joys of ice research: “The 
effectiveness of cryospheric 
science in addressing its 
main purpose (predicting 
and assessing response 
to climate change) is 
powerfully, but intangibly 
enhanced by the mysterious 
nature and the remote 
locations of ice and snow 
phenomena. Study of the 
cryosphere, in essence, 
depends as much on the 
universal human desire to 
satisfy curiosity as it does 
on the fact that cryospheric 
science informs humanity 
about the consequences of 
the environmental changes 
now clearly visible in all 
realms of the cryosphere.” 
While the decline in Arctic 
sea ice coverage and the 
smaller opposing trend in 
the Southern Ocean have 
occupied the headlines, 
there are many processes 
over broad range of 
geophysical length scales 
that contribute to the 
character of the ice cover. 
The talk will cover several of 
these processes , including 
ice deformation, ice growth 
and snow accumulation, in 
particular their observation 
and role in polar climate. 
Free lectures on June 18 at 
JPL; June 19 at Pasadena 
City College; both at 7 p.m.

Plan Revealed to Relieve 
SR-710 Tunnel Debate 

 
A number of city and 
organization leaders, last 
week, announced “Beyond 
the 710,” something they say 
will dramatically reshaped the 
debate over the 710 Tunnel 
in an effort to reimagine how 
to resolve the conflicts over 
congestion and mobility that 
have divided the western San 
Gabriel Valley for decades.

 “Today is a new day in the 710 
debate, and we are committed 
to finding solutions that work 
for everyone,” said Ara Najarian 
(pictured above), mayor of 
Glendale, member of the LA 
County Metro Board, and chair 
of Beyond the 710. “Just as my 
city and my neighbors will 
never accept a tunnel through 
our communities, we must 
recognize that a solution to the 
congestion created by the 710 in 
Alhambra and their neighbors 
must be addressed intelligently. 
That’s why we are presenting 
a starting point for new 
discussions on how to resolve 
these issues amicably.”

 According to organizers, a key 
insight of Beyond the 710 is to 
understand that more than 85 
percent of commuters exiting the 
710 Freeway at Valley Boulevard

are intent on reaching local 
destinations, and the vision of 
Beyond the 710’s plan is to use 
21st Century planning solutions 
(such as well-planned transit 
lines, Great Streets concepts, 
and traffic mitigation) to reduce 
congestion and promote smart 
growth rather than 1960s 
freeway-oriented approaches.

 “Pasadena has suffered the 
negative impacts of freeway 
‘solutions,’ and we recognize 
that better options exist, such as 
great streets and smart transit,” 
said Michael Beck, city manager 
of the City of Pasadena. “Our 
city council recently voted to 
oppose the tunnel, and instead 
we’ve adopted a progressive 
approach to improving north-
south connectivity that is very 
consistent with Beyond the 710.”

 Beyond the 710 is a project 
of the Connected Cities and 
Communities, comprised of the 
cities of Glendale, La Canada 
Flintridge, Cities of Glendale,
