The proposed extension of the Long Beach Freeway (Route 710) through the City of WSouth Pasadena threatens many historic structures and neighborhoods. Approximately 500 homes within the City of South Pasadena would be lost by its construction. As of September 1998, CalTrans owns over 107 dwelling units of which 43 are listed on the City’s Historic Inventory. There are approximately 150 homes within the 710 Route that are on the City’s list of Historic Resources. Maintenance of the stated-owned structures is imperative to prevent the loss of property values and control the blighting influence of poorly maintained structures and the City must continue to do all in its power to see that CalTrans maintains the homes it owns. |
