Department of Transportation seeks input on safety and traffic-calming designs for El Molino, Wilson, Sierra Bonita and Craig avenues
The city of Pasadena’s most ambitious recent neighborhood street redesign goes to the community on Wednesday, June 10, when the Department of Transportation hosts a public meeting on the Greenways Project at the Jefferson Branch Library from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The project targets four north-south corridors — El Molino, Wilson, Sierra Bonita and Craig avenues — selected because they are the lowest-volume streets that cross the 210 freeway and therefore the most workable candidates for safer walking, biking and family traffic. Proposed enhancements include traffic calming elements such as medians, traffic circles, upgraded crosswalks and bicycle detection at signals. Craig Avenue and El Molino Avenue are slated to receive quick-build treatments first, with final designs to follow for all four corridors.
The City Council approved a $1.09 million design contract in October 2025 to prepare conceptual and preliminary designs, part of a broader Active Transportation initiative funded through Measure R Mobility Improvement Project dollars from Los Angeles Metro, state Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grants and other sources. Pasadena secured $12 million in Measure R Mobility Improvement Project funding from Metro for design and construction of the four corridors.
