Cannon Wall Failure - The Cannon Street Retaining Wall at the intersection with Serrano Avenue failed due to water build up from unknown sources.  This is the portion of the wall that is original - it was not replaced after the January 2005 winter storm events that caused another section to collapse. The City is taking immediate action to ensure Cannon Street is safe and can maintain two lanes of southbound traffic.  The City, along with the City of Orange, are working to ensure pedestrian and vehicle safety while contractors systematically take down portions of the wall in a controlled manner.  There is no danger to the homes above the wall area as the failure is the wall material placed during the original construction.   Residents are asked to avoid Cannon Street during commute times and the bike lane and recreation trail along Cannon are close until further notice.
