Throughout the months of November and December 2024, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has been and will continue to reconstruct Altadena Drive between New York Dr. and the Midwick Gate. This project is occurring in an effort to improve asphalt conditions which have deteriorated after decades of storms and traffic. During construction, the main Eaton Canyon gate will remain open to ingress access only. All vehicles are required to exit the park onto New York Dr. via the overflow parking lot. Any vehicle caught bypassing barriers and closed gates attempting to exit through the main gate may be cited by county sheriffs’ officers.
In July, MyEatonCanyon.com reported on a single-car traffic accident by the Midwick Parking Pad that was due to excessive speeding and commented on the dangers of Altadena Dr. to Eaton Canyon visitors. According to the project outline, which is provided here, there are no plans to create safe crosswalks for pedestrians exiting the Eaton Canyon Main Entrance at this time. Comments on the project to team managers may be emailed to [email protected].
