A mellow Monday with plenty brewing

Glendale, CA · March 30, 2026

Ease into the week — we’ll recap what mattered over the weekend and flag a few low‑key ways to get out of the house today.

Local Pulse

Police wrap distracted driving operation

Glendale Police spent Saturday running a targeted operation on drivers using phones behind the wheel, part of a broader spring push on street safety. Expect more visible enforcement and education around hands‑free laws as April approaches.
Spring programming keeps parks busy

City recreation programs and special events over the weekend — from inclusive play days to outdoor workdays — drew steady crowds, and parks staff say spring calendars are filling fast. Watch for more nature, art, and kids’ activities rolling into April.
City budget talks coming into focus

City staff are signaling a tighter financial picture this year, with rising service costs and softer revenues. Budget study sessions begin next month, but departments are already stress‑testing priorities for streets, housing, and public safety.
