Glendale officials will host two public meetings to make sure the community knows everything there is to know about a planned “road diet” in Montrose that will test the viability of dedicated bike lanes on Honolulu Avenue. The road diet will essentially cut two lanes out of the four-lane Honolulu Avenue between Ramsdell and Orangedale avenues and replace them with a designated bicycle lane in each direction. As Honolulu Avenue gets closer to the Montrose Shopping Park, the road is too narrow for a bike lane, so it will instead get street signs denoting that bicyclists and cars must share the road.

CITY HALL — The City Council on Tuesday began wading through what had turned out to be an arduous review of city codes for window replacements. City officials presented the council with enforcement options to alleviate the significant number of illegal window replacements that have been completed throughout the city.
