Watch for Morning Fog and New Construction on Glenoaks

Glendale, CA · May 11, 2026

Happy Monday—hope you had a restful weekend. Keep the headlights on for that thick morning fog during the early commute, especially if you’re navigating the 134 or the hills.

📰 The Lead

The city is moving forward this week with a significant update to the "Vision Zero" traffic safety plan, focusing on a new pilot program for Brand Boulevard. Following a series of community workshops held over the weekend, officials have finalized plans to install protected bike lanes and "bulb-out" curb extensions along a three-block stretch downtown. The initiative aims to curb the frequency of pedestrian-related accidents near our busiest shopping hubs. While some local business owners expressed concerns about parking during the Saturday session, the city’s data suggests the increased foot traffic will ultimately benefit the local economy. Final design tweaks are happening behind the scenes today, with the first orange cones expected to appear by late June. It is a major step toward transforming our main thoroughfare into a more walkable, European-style corridor.
