Those safety initiatives, in addition to students returning to school, and the launch of the new regional connector in Downtown, all contributed to the rise in ridership, he says. Of the 3,600 survey participants, nearly 70% said that their annual income is below $60,000. And over 60% identified as Black, Indigenous and People of Color .
"Yes, $9 million to you and I is a lot of money, but it's not a lot of money when you consider how large the California budget is," Norton said."So it's a relatively small investment." “We wanted to know was this tolerance something that they could pass on to their offspring, like to new baby coral,” Kenkel said. “So we set out to try to answer that question and honestly, we thought the answer was going to be yes.”After a study in 2019, they found that the near-shore adults with higher tolerance spawned offspring that don't do as well in resisting heat.
“Our data says you can't just assume that the more tolerant parents are going to produce more tolerant babies. That's something that really needs to be tested before going down the road of using those kinds of interventions for restoration,” Kenkel said. "We understand that it's not going to be a very easy change for some homeowners," says Daniel Berlant, acting state fire marshal with Cal Fire, the state's firefighting agency."But the science is very simple: even a green, well-maintained plant will catch on fire and it's going to destroy your home."
Both structures are surrounded by bark mulch, green plants and shrubs. But there's a key difference: around one building, the mulch and shrubs are directly next to the walls. On the other, a stone walkway separates them, acting like a buffer. Defensible space can't guarantee a house will survive a wildfire, but experts say surrounding the outside walls with hardscape, like gravel, walkways or patios, can reduce the risk.
"We've been working with builders and industry to flip-flop the idea: put the walkway right next to the home and put the plants on the other side of the walkway so now you've got that five feet of distance," Berlant says. “It's so inspiring to work at a community college - where I went to, by the way, as a student – and see how our community gets revitalized,” Morales said.
Morales said she’s already seen the way that LAMC’s biotechnology program has changed her students’ lives, even before the new B.S. program. The state also recently approved a bachelor’s degree in public safety management at San Diego Miramar College, bringing the total number of bachelor’s degrees offered at California community colleges to 33.Community colleges act as a gateway for first-generation students and adults seeking a second start. We want students — and those who support them — to have the information they need to thrive in the California Community College system.
It would ultimately be left up to the five members of the Chino school board to decide if the book is appropriate. If they believe the content is harmful for students, the book would be permanently pulled out of the district. However, it would not apply to books that are part of the state-approved curriculum.
Some parents, students, and teachers drew similarities between the policies. During public comment, opponents argued the proposed book policy is another lawsuit waiting to happen, while supporters celebrated an opportunity for more “parental rights.” Donald Bridge and Jonathan Monroe were much more hesitant about the proposal. Both board members requested a legal opinion and complaint data before the next meeting.
But this year Democrats in the Legislature went in a different direction, proposing bills that would discourage synthetic turf. They’re worried about health risks created by the chemicals present in these lawns, including perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known aschemicals. Some chemicals in the crumb rubber base of synthetic turf, such as bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA, can leach out during extreme heat.
Manufacturers of synthetic turf say they are working to address concerns about the materials they use, although for the most part they have been unable to entirely remove PFAS. Some have switched to He also wrote that he’s directing his administration to consult with lawmakers on “alternative approaches to regulating the use of these harmful chemicals in consumer products,” suggesting the issue could return in the next legislative year.Synthetic turf is a man-made, non-living replacement of turfgrass that requires little water or maintenance. The grass blades are made of fibers such as nylon or plastic while the base is typically a crumb rubber made from used tires, plastic pellets or sand.
“We want to increase the population of our habitat pollinators, and plant climate-resilient plants that provide shade, buffer sun exposure, provide windbreaks, help reduce stormwater runoff and reduce soil and water erosion. And you can’t do that with synthetic grass,” she said. Barnes & Noble is opening on the popular pedestrian shopping center next summer after a five-year absence. Its return is part of a project to turn the outdoor shopping strip into an entertainment venue, with pickleball courts, tattoo parlors and more.
The Promenade’s taxable sales dropped from more than $435 million to just about $200 million between 2017 and 2023, according to Santa Monica Public Information Officer Lauren Howland. New zoning ordinances eliminated obstacles so new kinds of businesses can open. A focus on making the city accessible to middle-class families, compared to the adjoined mall’s luxury offerings, was also a priority.cold-called Barnes & Noble. His current lease would be ending and he wanted to know if the bookstore chain had any interest in returning to the Promenade.Barnes & Noble first left the shopping strip in 2018, amid high rent and the onslaught of online book sales.
Earlier this summer, some residents in Santa Monica hung banners in front of a storefront on the 3rd Street Promenade, decrying what they described as safety issues from the city's growing homeless problem.But the city must also find a way to take care of its most vulnerable residents, housing and homeless advocates say.
