The Altadena Community Garden is located on the site of the former Mt. Lowe Military Academy. An Altadena community fixture since 1974, our diverse group of dedicated gardeners tends 59 standard and 4 handicapped-accessible garden plots at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The Altadena Community Garden is recognized as one of the leading community gardens in Southern California, opening our gates to school children, field trips, and events.

This has been a heated argument over and over again at the Altadena Town Councel meetings. Now, it's finally law.

Los Angeles County Supervisor, Michael Antonovich, announced that in order to improve public safety and the flow of traffic for the community of Altadena, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Altadena Community Standards District restricting commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds or more on any highway or alley in Altadena.

This will apply for commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds or more. The County Department of Public Works will be responsible for posting signs at the boundaries of the Altadena Community Standards District notifying motorists of on-street parking prohibition. The restriction shall apply between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m, 7 days a week.
