Summary
Urban Revitalization: AT&T Building
* The city is actively demolishing the AT&T building, a long-standing “nuisance property” associated with frequent criminal activity.
Demolition of the garage is complete, and the main structure is scheduled for removal within the next two weeks.
The city encourages residents to follow their social media channels and YouTube page for ongoing updates on this process.
New Senior Center Development
* Mayor Bine has proposed a new Senior Center to replace the aging Madison Jobe facility, which has structural issues and is no longer energy-efficient or appropriately sized.
The new center will be located at Crenshaw Park (on the site of the former Fire Station 7).
Key features include:
* An enlarged, modernized facility.
* Outdoor amenities including walking trails and access to the lake for fishing.
* A secure, well-lit parking area to accommodate senior needs.
“Team Up to Clean Up” Initiative
* This weekend marks the annual “Team Up to Clean Up” event, a community effort to assist residents who are unable to maintain their homes due to health issues, loss of a partner, or other hardships.
Volunteers—including students, local industry partners, and community members—provide support such as:
* Building accessibility ramps.
* Exterior home painting.
* Landscaping and yard maintenance.
* General repair and cleanup of property structures.
The Mayor emphasized that this event represents the spirit of Pasadena by bringing together diverse groups to serve neighbors in need. Residents are encouraged to visit the city’s website to learn more or apply for assistance.
