La Crescenta residents cite fire evacuation concerns in battle against affordable housing project

Concerned residents and La Crescenta city leaders are urging Los Angeles County to take another look at a proposed five-story affordable housing site. They say Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard offer only one way out, and with the proposed development, there would be a dangerous evacuation bottleneck and no safe way to escape danger. The neighborhood is in an area designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state fire marshal. The proposed five-story apartment complex would replace an 80-year-old motel at the corner of Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.

Debris tends to collect in valleys and restrict drainage; roof maintenance can reveal potential sources of leaks before the roof leaks. In California, check what you can see safely from the ground now, and leave rooftop clearing and repairs to a roofer. Los Angeles County says its storm season begins in mid-October and typically lasts through early spring.
