Newsletter: September 15

September 15, 2024|by Erik Torkells

BURNING QUESTIONS
“What’s the status of the last segment of the Highway 101 project, beyond Hermosillo Road—i.e. the intersection with Cabrillo Boulevard and Hot Springs Road? Is there a final design? Has the funding been identified? Is there an approved plan to widen the railroad underpass? Most importantly, what’s the projected completion date for a southbound 101 on-ramp?” The answers.

·················

·················

JUST LISTED
Noteworthy new listings: 1980s Tudor near the Hot Springs trailhead; views for days above Summerland; mini French Norman chateau on Ortega Ridge; Beach Club Road time capsule; Italian-style villa in the San Roque foothills; “before” and “after” in one house; Diana Road fixer; and more.

·················

GET OUT OF TOWN
I don’t want to live in L.A., but I do like visiting it—especially when I get live jazz, a deluxe park, a retrospective of a favorite artist, quality pastries, and more.
