We Are So Proud of Our Growing Community

Welcome and thank you to everyone who has recently followed us, joined us at an event, or hosted a gathering!

Community is so important. Each conversation and new connection helps us build a more welcoming, inclusive Glendora. Whether you’ve been part of Glendora Forward for years or are just getting to know us, we’re glad you’re here. We look forward to seeing you at a future event—and feel free to bring a friend!

These photos are from our two social gatherings in September. We are good at gathering, but not always the best remembering to take photos and apologize if you are not included in one of these photos.

Check out the calendar for our October events. Remember to sign up to get on our Potluck Evite list.

Glendora Votes by District for City Council—What Happened to At-Large Elections?

Wondering why some Glendora voters will see a City Council race on their ballot this November while others won’t? It comes down to where you live.

Glendora previously elected councilmembers “at large.” Voters throughout the city could vote for all council seats up for election, regardless of which neighborhood the candidates lived in. Today, Glendora is divided into five districts. Each district elects one councilmember, and only residents of that district can vote for that seat.

Measure G: Fixing Glendora's Schools Without Raising Your Tax Rate

On July 27, 2026, the Glendora Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to place a bond extension measure on the November 3 ballot. Over the past two years, this board has shown real differences of opinion, so a unanimous vote deserves your attention.

Glendora's schools need maintenance and repairs, and Measure G offers a way to fund them without increasing the property tax rate you pay today.

Glendora Forward Announces Our Endorsements for City Council

The people we elect locally make decisions that touch our lives every day. They help determine how we care for our neighborhoods, support our schools, spend public dollars, and plan for Glendora’s future.

These roles come with difficult decisions. We need leaders who do their homework, listen to people with different experiences, and work through disagreements with care and respect. We also need leaders who explain their decisions and remain accountable to the community.

Glendora City Council Approves First/Last Mile Plans

At its September 22 meeting, the Glendora City Council voted 4-1 to approve the final design plans for the First/Last Mile project.  This brings Glendora one step closer to safer streets and better connections to the Metro A Line station.

The project will improve parts of Glendora Avenue and Foothill Boulevard with protected bike lanes, safer pedestrian crossings, better access for people with disabilities, improved lighting, landscaping, and a new roundabout at Glendora Avenue and Ada Avenue.  The goal is to make it easier and safer for residents to walk, bike, and travel between the Metro station, Glendora Village, Citrus College, local businesses, and nearby neighborhoods.

Stay tuned!
