ARCADIA - MONROVIA - DUARTE - BRADBURY 
CITY OF BRADBURY LEMON AVENUE TRAIL PROJECT 
The City of Bradbury is proposing to construct a walking trail along the south side of Lemon 
Avenue from Winston Avenue to their westerly city limits (Sombrero Road), near the 
eastern border between Monrovia and Bradbury. The trail construction would consist of a 
5’ wide decomposed granite walking surface installed adjacent to the existing curb along 
with a 5’ high white vinyl fence installed at the back of the trail. 
On Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 7 p.m., the City of Bradbury City Council will hold its 
regular meeting in which the City will discuss the Lemon Avenue Trail project. Visit the 
City of Bradbury's website for more information and to access all corresponding documents 
related to the Lemon Avenue Trail project. 
Although the project borders up to the eastern limits of the City of Monrovia, the City of 
Bradbury is the lead agency on the project. If you have any questions about the project or 
would like to voice your concerns or comments, please contact City of Bradbury City Manager 
Kevin Kearney at (626) 358-3218 or kkearney@cityofbradbury.org.

ARCADIA POLICE BLOTTER CITY OF DUARTE RECEIVES $1.6 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING 
FOR THE DONALD AND BERNICE WATSON GREENBELT 
TRAIL IMPROVEMENT 
PROJECT 
It was announced last month 
that after significant advocacy 
efforts by Congresswoman 
Grace 
Napolitano, the City of Duarte 
will receive $1.6 million in federal 
funding for the Donald and 
Bernice Watson Greenbelt Trail 
Improvement Project as part of 
the 2023 Omnibus Appropriations 
Bill recently signed into 
law by President Biden. 
Community Development Director 
Craig Hensley and his department 
have sought funding 
for the improvement project for 
several years, marking this acquisition a huge milestone. Opened in 1977 and recently renamed 
in memory of the first African American Mayor of Duarte, the Donald and Bernice Watson 
Recreation Trail is a multipurpose trail that runs from Buena Vista Avenue to Royal Oaks Park. 
The historic trail provides ample recreational opportunities for residents and guests alike, and 
its gentle slopes and shady oak trees make it one of Duarte’s key attractions. 
The project will provide key improvements and maintenance to this beautiful trail including 
reconstruction of the pathway. Following improvements, the new recreational trail will feature 
permeable asphalt paving and an updated storm water diversion system. There will also be several 
safety updates including additional lighting for increased visibility, accessibility alterations, 
and the installation of public health and community amenities. 
“We are ecstatic to receive funding for this incredibly important project,” said Hensley. “We 
could not have secured this funding without the immense support of Congresswoman Napolitano 
and her team. Her work on our behalf will allow the City to greatly enhance recreational 
opportunities for our residents.” 
Congresswoman Grace Napolitano’s efforts helped secure $48.7 million in funding for 15 community 
projects throughout her district including Duarte’s Trail Improvement Project. The 
$48.7 million will address many critical projects throughout the district including increased 
water supply, public transportation, and recreational opportunities. 
“This project would not be possible without the dedication and determination of Duarte’s Community 
Development Director Craig Hensley and the community development department as 
well as the advocacy and support of Congresswoman Grace Napolitano,” said Duarte Mayor 
Jody Schulz. “The project is an important investment, not only in the health and wellness of our 
Duarte village, but in the friendships and sense of community that it cultivates. We are so grateful 
for the diligence of our wonderful staff and to Congresswoman Napolitano for her dedication 
to serving our district.”
