A number of speed limits could increase around the city in a month. 

City Council members approved a proposed ordinance at a meeting this month that could increase the miles per hour allowed after conducting an engineering and traffic survey.

 The City Council has approved design plans for an 18-unit development for residents who have physical disabilities and low incomes. 

The project - which is the first of its kind in the city - will be at 4115 Kingsley St., at the corner of Pradera Avenue. 

Developers National Community Renaissance has teamed with United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles to provide services in the complex that will allow residents to live independently. 
Montclair Human Services Division is trying to help low-income seniors receive free food through their Food Commodity Program.

"After doing this for so long you get to know some of these people, and they are so wonderful, you know - being poor is not a crime," said Ester Vargas-Pipersky, senior program specialist. 
Visitors of Montclair Library received a special treat last week when the Aztec tribe Copali Copili performed for Cinco de Mayo festivities. 

The group not only danced, but they also showed the audience the different types of instruments they use including a skull that when blown into it is called the death whistle. 

"Even death has a sound," said Chris Stenmo, performer and Aztec name Ixtemoc, which means swooping eyes. 

During the presentation Stenmo, dressed in traditional garb, explained what each of their instruments are capable of.
