LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles residents displaced by a massive, 15-week natural gas leak will have more time to return to their homes once the well is plugged, under an agreement announced Monday between city officials and Southern California Gas Co. The deal will give residents up to eight days to move back to the Porter Ranch area, rather than 48 hours, the utility and City Attorney Mike Feuer said in separate statements. "This agreement will help residents resume their daily routines on schedules that work best for them," Feuer said. The leak from a deep well at an underground gas storage facility was detected in October. The utility said Monday that a relief well designed to intercept the leaking one has now reached a depth of about 8,600 feet and is within 20 feet of its target, though as drillers get closer they'll need to slow down for precision, spokesman Chris Gilbride said in a statement.Read more on NewsOK.com

City planners say it’s time to put Northwest Side’s Little Italy on the map
Chicago Tribune, Saturday - 04/20/2024 - 06:00 AM
A long-running effort to turn a stretch of Harlem Avenue on the Far Northwest Side into a walkable showcase for Italian American businesses and culture like Little Italy’s Taylor Street is inching forward. City planners told the Chicago Plan Commission the 2-mile stretch between Grand Avenue and Irving Park Road can become a destination neighborhood like its Near West Side predecessor with improvements to the streetscape that can help attract visitors and new residents. That section of Harlem is the future home of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, and already hosts many Italian restaurants and shops, but isn’t well-known to tourists or outsiders, said Carmen Martinez of the Chicago Department of Planning and Development. She presented a draft of the Harlem Avenue Visioning Study at Thursday’s commission meeting, outlining a plan to create community gathering spaces and new landscaping, increase pedestrian safety, maintain the neighborhood’s heritage and perhaps install archways on the thoroughfare, creating a brand like the South Side’s Chinatown or Paseo Boricua on Division Street in Humboldt Park. “This vision is more than 20 years in the making,” she said. Local business leaders began pushing city officials two decades ago to further recognize their neighborhood, which extends through the Montclare and Dunning community areas, Martinez said.
