Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Montebello public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Lincoln Avenue fire hydrants and water main
Lincoln Street has no fire hydrants — a serious gap in a mutual threat zone. A partnership with San Gabriel Valley Water will install them, with surveys underway and completion expected in 2027.
Chet Hollyfield Park Water Conservation and Improvement Project
The council authorized applying for a $3 million state grant to fund major park improvements at Chet Holifield Park on the south side.
860 Truck Way land purchase for hydrogen fueling station
The city is spending $2.22 million from the transit fund to buy a half-acre lot near its bus yard for a permanent hydrogen fueling station, needed as Montebello Bus Lines switches to zero-emission fuel-cell buses by 2040. Staff hope to eventually sell hydrogen retail to recoup costs.
