Monrovia granted $2 million to restore Canyon Park, damaged by Bobcat fire, mudslides

before being hit with heavy rainstorms that caused two winter mudslides. The storm caused a water main break in the park and falling boulders led to extensive damage, closing the park for good.

The city is coordinating with county, state and federal groups as the project goes on including LA County Flood Control, Federal Emergency Management Agency and California Office of Emergency Services. To date, the city approvedfor costs associated with debris removal and clean up on Canyon Park and Lower Clamshell Trail.

Merrill Johnson, the city’s contract city engineer, oversees the design engineering of the project and, according to Feik, estimates the deadline for stakeholders to submit a bid for the reconstruction project will end in late August so that City Council can vote by September. Feik added that in total the project will cost around $17.5 million and that should a contract be awarded this fall, then the target completion is for a fall of 2024 reopening.

“I think there’s a sense of excitement as we’re getting ready to break ground on the actual replacing the roadways and redoing the water and sewer,” said Feik. “Then there’s an actual timeline on when we’re going to finish, so I think there’s a lot of excitement about once we get started. We’re now just counting down until it reopens.”
