Colfax Ave. was taken down last month, while the Chalet Motel at 6051 W. Alameda Ave. was demolished in November. It cost the Lakewood Reinvestment Authority $6 million combined to acquire and flatten the two motels, according to city officials. The Blue Sky shut down in fall 2021 and the Chalet in June 2023.
