however when one of the deputies activated the patrol unit’s lights and attempted to pull the vehicle over the driver “failed to yield” and drove away “It is the policy of the LASD that pursuits are permitted only when the necessity of immediate apprehension outweighs the degree of danger created by the pursuit and only when in compliance with our policy and applicable state laws,” according to LASD.  The driver continued to drive westbound on Foothill Boulevard “In front of Ross Dress for Less (in the 2100 block of Foothill Boulevard) the driver rear-ended an SUV,” said Sgt Some deputies responded to those in the SUV and got them out of harm’s way and others ordered the driver to get out of his vehicle At this point deputies had their guns drawn.  “He did not cooperate and then [the driver] put his vehicle in reverse and rammed into the patrol unit,” Gilbert said.  At one point two teens in the crosswalk at Ramsdell Avenue and Foothill Boulevard had to jump out of the way as the driver sped by.  By this time the driver had struck several vehicles during the pursuit He continued along Foothill westbound then entered the 210 Freeway the wrong way using the Sunland Boulevard offramp At one point he turned around and headed back onto Sunland Boulevard continuing onto Vineland Avenue and Hortense Street The vehicle slammed into a curb and stopped The pursuit lasted about 20 minutes and the standoff lasted about 70 minutes LASD deputies had its crisis negotiation team and called in Special Enforcement Bureau.  got in and out of his vehicle several times until finally he was tackled by deputies and arrested He has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon CV Sheriff’s deputies are asking for any witnesses specifically those two young students who were almost struck by the driver to contact CV Sheriff’s at (818) 248-3464.  Anyone whose vehicle may have been damaged by this driver are asked to  report it to their local law enforcement agency.  Pursuit that Starts in La Cañada Flintridge Ends in Northridge added by on December 19, 2024View all posts by CV Weekly → 2025-05-05T07:41:43-07:00May 5 2025-05-02T09:39:58-07:00May 2 2025-05-02T08:40:53-07:00May 2 2025-05-04T09:32:06-07:00April 30 2025-04-30T17:06:48-07:00April 30 TrendingCommercialLos AngelesALa Cañada Flintridge ditches appeal to builder’s remedy project Joins Beverly Hills in acceptance instead of $14M bond to pursue case Listen to this article00:001xKey PointsAI Generated.✨This summary is reviewed by TRD Staff which laid down its arms in the battle against the state builder’s remedy which threw in the towel after a two-year fight The reason: the foothill city chose to quit an uphill legal battle after a Los Angeles judge ordered it pay a $14 million bond to appeal a court decision to greenlight the project “Continuing the lawsuits is no longer in the best interest of the city,” Mayor Mike Davitt said in a statement saying that the financial costs of its appeal outweighed its potential outcome The decision by La Cañada Flintridge to back down may mark a Waterloo for opponents of the builder’s remedy a once-obscure provision in state housing law that has empowered developers while frustrating cities and counties across the state The builder’s remedy allows housing developers to skirt local zoning in cities such as Beverly Hills that failed to certify their state-mandated housing plans provided their projects include 20 percent affordable housing Beverly Hills, which had vigorously fought a slew of state-sanctioned builders remedy projects, broached a compromise with developers last month Now La Cañada Flintridge must come to terms with Cedar Street a former city councilman and mayor who bought the property during his term in office The locally based developer had employed the 35-year-old legal loophole to allow the 80-unit complex with 16 hotel rooms and 7,300 square feet of offices with 16 apartments set aside for low-income households would replace a former First Church of Christ Scientist Cedar Street Partners had filed a lawsuit in July 2023, after a yearlong back-and-forth with the city and repeated denials. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta asked a court to support the project as well as the state builder’s remedy provision The decision by the city to back down sends a disquieting message to cities trying to push back against housing laws who previously represented the 600 Foothill project “The message is: stop playing games with housing,” Leaderman said “There’s going to be a price to pay when a city unlawfully denies a project.” Despite the city’s decision to abandon its appeal the Foothill Boulevard project must still clear several hurdles before winning local approval While the builder’s remedy waives zoning rules such projects still must comply with environmental infrastructure and health and safety standards “The City and community will need to chart a pathway forward that integrates the 600 Foothill project as reasonably as possible and we hope going forward the developer will work with us to minimize any detrimental impacts on the City,” Mayor Davitt said in his statement “The ball’s in their court,” Cedar Street partner Jonathan Curtis told Bisnow — Dana Bartholomew By on January 30, 2025No Comment a new tool popped up to make more donations available to children directly affected by the Eaton Fire who attend school in the La Cañada School District. Hundreds of items from clothes to toiletries to school supplies were available to District students and parents. Everything was free.     find volunteers to man the store and give away donations offered their La Cañada Flintridge home for the pop-up They also let their large network of friends and business associates know they needed donations and the help of volunteers to give the hundreds of items away Their friends stepped up with donations and manpower for the pop-up Osbrink clients were also part of the act as donors and volunteers.  “We honestly have been searching for ways to help anyone affected and our sharing outlets with our client roster in case they want to join in.”   Tamara Fragas Williams of Altadena lost her home in the Eaton Fire as well as five homes belonging to family members High school friends of the 51-year-old Williams told her about the pop-up and she came running The only thing she carried as she quickly evacuated when she saw flames nearby was her important paperwork Friends helped her out of her house.   volunteers at the La Cañada Flintridge pop-up store opened up their donations to all not just students at the La Cañada Unified School District.  “finagling” her way back she saw that her home was destroyed.   “Only the chimney was left; everything was still smoking and smoldering,” Williams said Houses around hers were still on fire. “My entire life was gone. I had packed no bags.”  She did her best to sift through the debris and ashes “My chest and throat hurts. I’ve already crashed now I’m processing,” she said. “I’ve got to go embrace it.” Asked where she lives now “I’m a gypsy. I go from house to house.” Donations left over from the pop-up store sale are being given to other distribution centers Six Hour Pop-up Store Makes Big Difference in La Cañada Flintridge added by on January 30, 2025View all posts by CV Weekly → LAist is part of Southern California Public Radio, a member-supported public media network. CDFW officials had relocated Bear 162 to the Angeles National Forest twice in recent years given her habit of frequenting the unsecured trash cans and plethora of bird feeders in foothill neighborhoods, but she quickly returned. The call was made to euthanize the bear after she got into eight homes last month and local residents expressed their alarm. “The decision to euthanize the bear was made by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect the public, due to the history of this bear being involved in conflicts with people, and the escalating and potentially dangerous home entry activity,” the agency wrote in a statement to LAist. The agency could not confirm to LAist how the bear got in the house in each instance, but a La Cañada-Flintridge city spokesperson said in most cases when bears enter homes there, it’s through unlocked or open doors, windows or garages. “Unfortunately, some bears have been raised to get food and water from nearby communities. Breaking those habits can be very difficult. It’s why we push so hard in our messaging that people understand the entire community needs to be on the same page when it comes to reducing wildlife attractants,” said Tim Daly, a spokesperson for the department in an email. Christina Shakarian originally was scared of Bear 162 roaming her neighborhood in La Cañada-Flintridge, but over the last four years she came to love watching the bear. Even when she wasn’t the most polite neighbor. “She did poop on our lawn and stick her claws in my furniture, and swim in my pool … and destroy a very expensive cake, but other than that, she did not harm us in any way,” Shakarian said. A year ago, she caught Bear 162 redhanded with a face full of birthday cake she got out of their garage freezer. Then her little dog Pawsy shot out of the house and chased the bear down the road. “We finally hear my dog and this bear, sweet bear, was hiding behind a tree, literally like Yogi bear looking at my dog,” Shakarian described with a chuckle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Christina Hacopian Shakarian (@chacopian) She said hearing the news of Bear 162 being euthanized has been jarring “I feel like there could have been an alternative We found out we couldn't believe it … everyone would talk about it 'how's your bear?' And I posted a lot about the bear and it was such a part of our lives being sure to close and lock windows and doors and removing bird feeders are the most common recommendations by experts to reduce how much black bears are attracted to your property Black bears are showing up more often in foothill communities with some of them having learned to scavenge for food over generations so it will likely take time to break the cycle of habituated bears Experts say that can be achieved through persistent effort by communities to reduce attractants LAist is part of Southern California Public Radio
