New Cooling Stations Open Across South Glendale

Glendale, CA · June 10, 2026

The morning marine layer is thinning out just in time for the first real heat of June. If you're heading toward the Verdugo Mountains today, the trails are officially clear of last week's brush clearing debris.

📰 The Lead

The City Council finalized the "Cool Corridors" plan last night, targeting South Glendale neighborhoods where asphalt temperatures often soar during the summer months. Starting today, crews are beginning the application of "cool pavement" coating on three major residential blocks near Pacific Park. This reflective gray treatment can lower surface temperatures by up to 10 degrees, a welcome relief for a part of the city with less canopy cover.

Beyond the pavement, the plan includes the installation of five new high-tech hydration stations that offer chilled water for both residents and pets. This is the first phase of a multi-year effort to modernize our infrastructure against the summer sun. While the street work may cause minor traffic shifts through Friday, the hydration stations are expected to be fully operational by this afternoon.
