Dear Councilmembers,
As a neighbor in SouthPas who cares about the health, safety, and interconnectedness of our neighborhoods, I strongly support the realization of the Arroyo Link and urge the City to request at least $9.5 million from the $230+ million in available Measure R funding to design and build the project before the 2028 Summer Olympic Games come to Pasadena.
The Arroyo Link will provide permanent access to the Arroyo and the Rose Bowl, crown jewels in the Pasadena park system that are not easily accessible to people walking or biking.
The Arroyo Link will build upon the Union Street Protected Bikeway by creating a safe, off-street route to west Pasadena.
The Arroyo Link will contribute to the City's goal of Pasadena being a place where people can safely circulate without a car, as well as support the implementation of the City's adopted Climate Action Plan.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to realize meaningful mobility improvements for the City of Pasadena. Please request at least $9.5 million from Metro to design and build this wonderful community project.
Thank you for your consideration and service to the community.
Best regards,
Jessica Robles
