  1. Hi! Been wondering what’s going on at Lost Cyn. and Soledad Cyn. lately. Truckload after truckload of dirt coming out of the wash back there every day followed by sweepers that ‘attempt’ to clean up after them! Someone told me they’re gonna build a big mall there! Is that true? Man, I hope not! What’s the real deal?
    Thanks!

  2. The traffic is going to be unbelievable. It already takes me an hour to get to work as is and I leave at 5:15 in the morning to drive to Sherman Oaks. There is not enough lanes on the 14 especially near Shadow Pines and Sand Cyn. Plus they are adding more homes and little stores at the corner of Soledad and Sand Cyn. where the mobile home park is. Do something with that Orange vacant building on Soledad next to Facey. That place has never ever been used.
