Happening in Upland: The Gracious Hole Edition

The Upland City Council has cancelled their meeting for December 22nd, with Resolution Number 6520 indicating a preference for holiday rest over addressing city issues like the stalled Amazon Fresh project. Downtown revitalization efforts continue with senior housing projects, while the Route 66 centennial celebration takes precedence over current road conditions. Assistant City Manager Stephen Parker is reportedly enthusiastic about the upcoming centennial.

In crime news, two individuals were taken into custody for breaking into a dental office and stealing a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal. Separately, there were reports of federal agents conducting activity in Upland, Claremont, and Montclair, causing concern among residents. According to Upland PD statistics, property crime is down 13 percent year over year.

Foothill Boulevard is currently undergoing a 13.2 million dollar rehabilitation project, causing traffic delays and disruptions. The project, which includes asphalt grinding and new landscaping, is expected to last until August 2026. Despite the inconvenience, the city is working towards the Route 66 centennial. Holiday events include a decorating contest and other activities. The weather forecast predicts unusually warm temperatures followed by rain on Christmas Eve.
