Glenoaks Boulevard Safety Upgrades on Tonight's Council Agenda

Glendale, CA · June 23, 2026

Morning — if you’re heading toward the Verdugos for an early hike, the marine layer is keeping things cool for now. It’s a big day for local commuters as the city looks to slow things down on one of our busiest stretches.

📰 The Lead

The City Council is reviewing a plan tonight to install new "smart" crosswalks and speed-feedback signs along a two-mile stretch of Glenoaks Boulevard. This follows a series of traffic studies aimed at curbing high-speed driving in the residential corridor. The plan includes bulb-outs to shorten crossing distances for pedestrians and synchronized signal timing to discourage racing between lights. Residents have been vocal about these changes for months, and tonight’s vote represents the most concrete step toward implementation since the safety audit was released last year. If the council moves forward, the first phase of physical improvements will likely appear on the asphalt before the end of the year.
