Let Your Voice Be Heard, Holiday Traffic Discussion with Local Leaders Thursday Night in Lake Arrowhead

Published by Raymond Ray

The monthly meeting of our local Governing Officials is happening in Lake Arrowhead at Fire Station 91 across the street from 7Eleven on 173 just outside the Lake Arrowhead Village. The meeting starts at 6:00 pm.

Item 4.0 (c) was just added to the agenda and may be of interest to the mountain communities, “Discussion Related to Holiday Traffic.” The entire mountain has seen the effects of thousands of visitors bearing down on the mountain. Massive traffic delays, roadways clogged with vehicles parked for roadside snow play and future plans for the mitigation of these issues will hopefully be discussed. Hundreds of comments on local social media indicate this is a hot topic in the community and here’s your chance to speak directly to community leaders and officials.

On the Agenda, directly after this discussion, is the public comments session. Any and all in the community wishing to speak about traffic or other issues on the mountain simply need to fill out a public comments card at the beginning of the meeting. Then, during the public comments session, you will be called upon. Three minutes per person are granted to speak so make it quick.

Special Note: New regulations regarding “short term rentals” or AirBnB’s are being discussed at this meeting as well.

Many times we hear the comments, “Why didn’t anybody discuss these issues with the community” or “What are our local officials doing about this?” Well here’s your chance to get these and other questions answered in person at the January Lake Arrowhead MAC Meeting. Don’t wait and miss out.
