Montrose Shops Stay Open Late Tonight for First Thursday

Glendale, CA · July 2, 2026

The marine layer is holding firm over the foothills, providing a cool window to finish your yard work before the afternoon heat arrives.

📰 The Lead

The Glendale Police Department is rolling out its "Safe Summer Streets" enforcement surge starting at 8:00 AM today. While the program runs through the holiday weekend, the focus today is specifically on the Glenoaks Boulevard corridor and the winding roads of the Verdugo Woodlands. Officers are prioritizing speed enforcement and modified exhaust violations—two frequent points of contention at recent neighborhood watch meetings. This isn't just about writing tickets; it’s a coordinated effort to dampen the uptick in street racing that typically precedes the Fourth of July. Residents can expect a highly visible presence of motorcycle units and patrol cruisers through Sunday evening. If you’re heading toward the 134 or commuting through the canyon, keeping a close eye on the speedometer is more than just a good idea—it’s a necessity today.
