Monterey Park

Description

A proposed five-story, 48-unit apartment building replacing two homes near the Hellman/Chandler intersection drew a packed room of opponents from both Monterey Park and Alhambra. It's still under staff review and must go through the Planning Commission.

Impact summary

Neighbors fear 100+ new car trips a day at a dangerous, accident-prone intersection, plus construction noise, overflow parking and strain on a quiet single-family area.
