Pasadena Metro Bus Service Changes to be Implemented Sunday, December 12
Four local lines are set to be discontinued and five Metro Rapid lines will be cancelled with service realocated to limited and local service operating along those corridors. In addition some Saturday and Sunday service will be cancelled with some of the service being augmented by local service on the weekends.
The bus service changes are being made to reduce unproductive service, reduce duplication of service along key travel corridors and to rightsize the Metro Rapid Corridor service. Metro staff looked at several Metro Rapid corridors where the average passengers trip length on the service were not much longer or faster than the local service currently being provided. For these specific corridors, Metro Rapid service (Lines 711, 714, 715, 753 & 920) will be discontinued and replaced with additional trips on the Local/Limited service (Lines 311, 14, 115, 53 & 720) as warranted to meet demand.
Below is a complete list of the Metro Bus service changes to be implemented on Sunday, December 12.
- 177-- La Canada-Sierra Madre Villa Gold Line Station via 1-210 & California Bl & Walnut St.
- Retain AM and PM peak hour service only and reduce the number of trips.
- 256-- Commerce - Altadena via Eastern Av & Hill Ave. Modify route at Hill Av & Washington Bl. Route travels via Washington Bl & Lake Av to current terminal at Lake Av & Mendocino St. Discontinue segment north of Washington Bl on Hill Av, Holliston Av and Mendocino St.
- 762-- Pasadena-Artesia Blue Line Station via Fair Oaks Av & Atlantic Bl. Discontinue Saturday service and replace with enhancements to Line 260 service.
- 780--Pasadena-Washington/Fairfax Transit Hub via Colorado Bl & Hollywood Bl & Fairfax Ave.
- Discontinue weekend service and replace with enhancements to Line 180 service.
In addition, minor changes will be made to all other bus schedules with the exception of Lines 125, 128, 265, 442 and 450. Please check for revised timetables on metro.net, or on board buses. For specific bus route information call 323.GO.METRO, (323) 466-3876.

Pasadena City College To Launch New Educational Master Plan
Pasadena City College will push forward a new Educational Master Plan (EMP) to target student learning and success, a plan that is expected to set the educational course for the campus over the next decade.
The purpose of the EMP is to guide the college’s transformation to educate students for this global 21st century. The EMP establishes the college’s most important priorities and goals as a continuing guide to PCC’s future actions and decisions about the allocation of resources.
“Project 90” is the opening phase of the EMP in conjunction with the 90th anniversary of the college during the 2014-2015 academic year. Many of the goals set in the EMP are expected to be fulfilled by the time of the anniversary celebration.
PCC put together a list of “Signature Goals” to be accomplished between now and 2015 which includes the following: 1. Guarantee enrollment for in-district high school students; 2. Turn PCC into the premier transfer school to four-year universities of the California Community Colleges; 3. Develop degree and certificate programs that address market-place needs; 4. Develop cutting-edge learning environments.
The EMP will go for final discussion and approval by the Pasadena Area Community College District (PACCD) Board of Trustees at their final meeting of 2010 to be held Wednesday, Dec. 8, at PCC’s Creveling Lounge. Open session begins at 7 p.m. The Board previously held discussion on the EMP’s progress during its Nov. 17 meeting.
In July of this year, PCC Superintendent-President Dr. Mark Rocha established a EMP/Accreditation Faculty-Based Task Team to step up the college’s efforts to launch the plan.
The EMP was created through an 18-month developmental process that included the input of some 1,000 members of PCC’s service areas and campus community, according to Robert Miller, Interim Dean, Educational Services.
More than 25 campus and community town hall meetings took place over this period to help develop the college’s new EMP. During PCC’s annual Flex Day on September 29, college staff participated in an all-campus activity in reviewing elements of the new plan.
Twelve specific mission critical priorities have also been set through the EMP:
A. Student success, equity, and access
B. Professional development
C. Technology
D. Pathways: K-12, two-year, four-year and community connections
E. Student support services
F. Institutional effectiveness
G. Enrollment management
H. Sustainability
I. Revenue enhancement strategies
J. Life-long learning
K. Curriculum responsive to market needs
L. Facilities and resource management
A list of 15 action plan items addressing these twelve priorities is part of an in-depth EMP summary guide that is attached with the release.
For more information on the Educational Master Plan, please contact the President’s Office at 626-585-7201.
Established in 1924, Pasadena City College has been serving the San Gabriel Valley for more than 85 years. PCC enrolls more than 30,000 students each semester and offers 60 academic and 76 Career and Technical Education programs.

ANTONOVICH AMENDMENT ESTABLISHES ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR DRUGS
LOS ANGELES COUNTY – Mayor Michael D. Antonovich ’s amendment establishing a zero-tolerance policy on drugs for rave music festivals was passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors.
Antonovich’s motion directs the Executive Officer of the Board to include this additional policy to recommendations sent to the promoters and sponsoring entities of all electronic music festivals held in Los Angeles County .
PUBLIC EVENT WILL CELEBRATE 62nd ANNIVERSARY OF U.N. DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
At the end of World War II, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt persuaded the brand new United Nations to draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rightsto promote peace, tolerance and dignity around the world.
To the celebrate the document’s 62nd anniversary, the City of Pasadena has joined with the Pasadena Unified School District to present a special program Friday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Pasadena High School, 2925 E. Sierra Madre Blvd.
After welcoming remarks by Mayor Bill Bogaard, the Pasadena City College Student Alliance will present a video tribute to human rights. Five PUSD students introduced by Superintendent Edwin Diaz will present their award-winning essays on the topic. Two hundred members of the Pasadena Unified High School Choir will perform “A Choral Quilt of Hope: The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights Preamble” adapted by Susan Suntree with music by Adrienne Albert, “Inspiration of Hope” by Z. Randall Stroope and the traditional canon “Dona Nobis Pacem.”
Sherry Simpson Dean, executive director of the United Nations Association Pasadena / Foothills Chapter, will close the program, which is free and open to the public.
“In the United States of America , we express a strong commitment to human rights,” said Bogaard. “But there must be continuing, proactive efforts to make certain that all persons in every nation can rely on basic human rights for their protection and to achieve their full potential. We must never give up on this cause.”
The event will be videotaped for future broadcast on KPAS, the City of Pasadena channel. The replay schedule will be announced.

PASADENA OFFERS PREVIEW OF NEW BUILDING CODES
Architects, engineers, contractors and building owners who take an active role in the design and construction of projects are encouraged to attend a preview of California ’s new building codes during a public meeting hosted by the Pasadena Planning Department.
On Jan. 1, 2011, the city will begin enforcing the 2010 California Green Building Standards Code, the 2010 California Residential Code, and the 2010California Building Code, which are updated every three years to keep current with industry standards.
An overview of the changes and their potential impact on construction projects will be presented on Wednesday, Dec. 15, at 6 p.m. in the city's Permit Center , 175 N. Garfield Ave. The free event is sponsored by the Building and Safety Division of the Planning Department.
The new Green Building Standards Code applies to all new buildings and additions and remodels to existing buildings, thereby affecting most of thebuilding projects that the city will review.
“It is important that people in the building trades understand how these new codes will affect how their projects are reviewed by city staff,” said Neville Pereira, city principal plans examiner.
Most of the materials currently in use are already meeting the requirements of the new codes, such as high efficiency heating and cooling units, dual-glazed windows, and water-efficient fixtures and appliances.
A representative from Pasadena Water and Power will be on hand to discuss incentives and rebates for water and energy efficiency, and the Planning Department’s Sustainability Affairs manager will discuss how the new codes align with the city’s sustainability goals.
Reservations are encouraged; call Susan Sulzbach at (626) 744-6892 or email ssulzbach@cityofpasadena.net.

24 Hour Gallery: The Point at Which Time Stands Still, an installation by Jill D’Agnenica
The Point at Which Time Stands Still
An installation by Jill D’Agnenica
WHEN: December 11, 2010 – February 3, 2011
WHERE: 24-Hour Gallery 80 North Raymond, Pasadena, 91101
Located in the public display cases on Holly Street, between Arroyo Parkway and Raymond Ave., directly across from the Pasadena Senior Center and the Memorial Park Metro Gold Line Station. The exhibition is on view twenty-four hours a day.
Reception: Dec 11, 4 - 6 pm at Heritage Wine Company
155 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena
(626) 844-9333
The 24 Hour Gallery and Light Bringer Projects are pleased to presentThe Point at Which Time Stands Still, an installation by artist Jill D’Agnenica.
D’Agnenica plays with the idea of Time as an artificial and arbitrary construct to which we are enslaved. In researching this piece, she drew on such diverse sources as Cal Tech theoretical cosmologistSean Carroll, the philosophical musings of Umberto Eco, and even her own harried life. Irrespective of its basis in the observable physical universe, when viewed across cultures and epochs, “time” is a malleable device used to create order. In the 21st century, we rely on GPS satellite time synchronization to structure and coordinate our days, yet we cannot observe time itself -- we only see the physical manifestations of the hands of the clock.
The Point at Which Time Stands Still is D’Agnenica’s irrational yet orderly reaction to the implications of time’s pull. She fills the gallery windows with 720 clocks, each ticking forward from a unique consecutive minute setting. Hundreds of time idioms printed on the clock faces attest to the multiple permutations of time in our lives. D”Agnenica simultaneously displays and disrupts time, exposing how every moment has been choreographed, enthralling and entrapping us in a cyclical dance.
Artist Bio:
A native of Southern California, D’Agnenica has lived and worked Los Angeles since 1991. Many of her pieces have been located in places where people "happen upon" a situation, unawares, taking viewers beyond their everyday concerns to a moment of reflection and wonder. Explorations of community and interconnection are recurring themes in her work, made manifest at various stages of the art making process, from concept and fabrication to the final presentation of the piece.
D’Agnenica has been the recipient of several grants and awards for her art including an Artist in Community Grant from the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, an Artist's Project Grant from LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions), and The Los Angeles DowntownBreakfast Club’s Rose Award for Public Art. Her work has been reviewed in numerous art and mainstream publications. Her project “Angels” was the subject of a documentary, “Los Angeles” by Paul Martinez and Bill Fletcher and was featured in several local and national television programs and documentaries in the US and UK.
The Point at Which Time Stands Still has been made possible through the generosity of crowd-funders through Kickstarter.
