Dear City Manager Marquez -
As a home owner at
Avenue.
Pasadena, 91107,1 am adamantly opposed to the proposed changes to Craig I am all in favor of diverse ways of self-transport in Pasadena, but not at the cost of increased auto/truck traffic and congestion so that the less than 1% of the population (bicyclists) can increase their already-abundant pathways.
Respectfully,
Michael Welsh

City Council,
I am a resident of Pasadena and I believe we should be working together to create safer streets. Our dangerous roads affect everyone - drivers, passengers, and people who are not in cars. I want to see All Ages and Abilities greenways built to create safe neighborhood streets.
Speed is a major factor in Pasadena's poor safety record. The Greenways will be streets where cars and bikes and pedestrians will share the road (no bike lanes, except for the blocks that cross the freeway.) The Greenways are planned for the four lowest-volume streets that cross the 21 0 freeway. This will create a network of safer, lower-stress streets especially for pedestrians and cyclists.
NO design decisions have been made regarding any specific tool to slow traffic on any specific street. Indeed, the entire point of hiring a design firm is to come up with proposals that make sense both for the people who live on the street AND for the people who will use the street.
I have been waiting for years for street safety improvements in Pasadena, and for the Greenways in particular. The funds have 8/25/2025

already been identified. They are not General Fund dollars and could not just be switched to use for something else.
I urge you to approve this contract.

Dear Pasadena City Council,
I am a Pasadena resident and Caltech graduate student, and I amwritingto express my support for designingthegreenways along Wilson, ELMolino, Sierra Bonita, and Craig streets according to the All Ages and Abilities guidelines.
Wilson in particular is a very important street to the Caltech community, as it runs between Caltech's main campus and its graduate housing and main parking structures. I personally cross Wilson every day on my way to work and feel that there is much room for improvement to enhance pedestrian safety. A redesign according to the All Ages and Abilities guidelines would help improve the safety for the many Caltech community members who cross Wilson daily. Removing parking along Wilson between Del Mar and California Avenues to enhance pedestrian and hiking safety should not be an issue as the parking structures provide plenty of parking.
Furthermore, improving the safe hiking network in Pasadena to include North/South streets connecting to the existing bike lanes on Cordova and Union Streets will allow much safer navigation of Pasadena by bicycle. Before I moved to Pasadena and enrolled at Caltech, I commuted by bicycle for the first few months of my job at UC Berkeley. I was then deterred from hiking anymore after I was rear-ended by a car on my way home one day (fortunately, I was not hurt that time). Building a network of safe bike lanes will allow me and many others to bike around Pasadena with peace of mind. In particular, it will allow more Caltech community members to commute by hiking and enhance safetyforthose who already do.
Sincerely,
Jonathan White

Greetings,
I am a resident of Altadena and a frequent biker. My family and I love to go places on bike when we can. The bike ride from our house to Pasadena is mostly pleasant and the distance and elevation change is not too much for us. The hardest part is crossing the 210 right near old town Pasadena. That can feel harrowing.
North-South Greenways would be a huge improvement and would definitely increase the number of trips to Pasadena by bicycle I would make, including ones hiking with my 10 and 13 year old children.
Because we live in West Altadena, the El Molino greenway would be the closest to us and would provide a nice route that connects our area with the Union St bikeway and all the retail, restaurants, and community events in Pasadena. Especially of interest to me is the safe bike crossing of the 210-the buffered bike lanes and the bike turn boxes at both the Villa and Corson intersections. That will be a huge safety improvement.
Connecting neighborhoods with the city center so that all ages and abilities can walk or bike in Pasadena would really make the area shine.
In addition, it makes a lot of sense to add traffic calming on neighborhood North-South streets. I'd be in favor of speed humps with emergency vehicle cut throughs, which would calm any downhill traffic to the posted speeds and make all road users and residents feel more comfortable on their streets. Let's make this happen! Jennifer Whitehead

Dear City Council Members,
I am writing in strong support of the Pasadena Greenways project, especially for the proposed Greenways on Wilson Ave and Craig Ave.
I am a Pasadena resident. I ride my bike daily to work, to shop for groceries, and to visit friends across the city. I am very grateful for the Cordova Stand Union St bike lanes. I bike on CordovaStdailyformy commute, and I bike on Union St usually 1-2 times a week when I go shopping at Target or to head to Old Town Pasadena. I bike on these streets because they have decent bike infrastructure.
That said, Cordova St and Union St are not enough. Pasadena lacks any safe bike infrastructure (either protected, or at least buffered, bike Lanes) in the North/South direction.
I urge the City Council to prioritize bike lanes on Wilson Ave. and Craig Ave. I bike on Wilson Ave. daily for my commute, and Wilson Ave. is pivotal for the large number of students who attend Caltech and Polytechnic. Cars regularly speed above the posted speed limit, and the existing meager bike lanes between California and Del Mar put cyclists directly in the door-zone of parked cars. I have experienced multiple near misses on Wilson Ave. due to both reckless drivers crossing into the bike lane and inattentive passengers opening car doors into the bike lane.
Craig Ave also plays an outsized role for North/South connectivity. I bike on Craig Ave. several times each month to visit friends and as part of my route to activities Victory Park. As one of the lowest-volume streets that crosses the 21 0 Freeway, Craig is a natural choice for increasing safety for pedestrians and cyclists. I have never seen traffic jams on Craig Ave, but many speeding drivers have whizzed by me at high speeds (in excess of 40mph) on Craig Ave. The proposed traffic calming measures will not induce any traffic jams nor slow down emergency vehicles, but will instead encourage drivers to respect the speed limit.
Thank you for your service to the city. I look forward to the next phase oftheGreenways project.
Sincerely,
ChristopherYeh

Dear City Council Members,
I am writing in strong support of the Pasadena Greenways project, especially for the proposed Greenways on Wilson Ave and Craig Ave.
I am a Pasadena resident and a Caltech graduate student. As someone who does not own a car, I rely on my bike to get around for work and hobbies. I regularly use the bike lanes on Cordova and Union because I feel safer hiking there than any other street.
However, these lanes are not enough to create comprehensive hiking infrastructure in Pasadena, which would require North-South connectivity. Thus, I urge the City Council to prioritize bike lanes on Wilson Ave. and Craig Ave. Moreover, I strongly recommend building fully-protected bike lanes to ensure the safety of our community. People will not use bike lanes if they feel unsafe, and even on the existing bike lane on Cordova, I have experienced many near-misses that made me question my mode of transportation.
Finally, I know that there are many drivers in Pasadena who may be frustrated by bikers. I understand - when I drive on a busy road and I see a biker in a lane in front of me, I feel frustrated when I have to slow down, and nen/ous when I try to pass them. This is a dangerous situation for all parties, especially the biker. However, this situation has only been created because of a lack of proper bike infrastructure - with the addition of fully protected bike lanes going N/S/E/W, cyclists will not have to mix with motorists on high-speed roads, and both parties will be happier for it. Moreover, when hiking becomes a viable alternative to driving, there will be less people driving on the roads and traffic will also be reduced.
Thank you for your service to the city. I look forward to the next phase of the Greenways project.

Hello,
I am a resident in Pasadena District 7 and I want to email in support of safe greenways, specifically along El Molino and Wilson.
I am a bike commuter who bikes to work, the gym, church, and to hang out with friends and family in Pasadena. I am a regular user of the Cordova and Union Street Bike Paths, as well as the existing, but disconnected bike paths, north and south of Marengo. I use these paths, as well as El Molino and Wilson, to get to work in El Monte or visit our adjacent cities such as Highland Park, South Pasadena, Alhambra, and San Marino.
We do not have any safe or sane bikeways north or south. I want to be able to take the streets with confidence, but instead, I usually just try to guess which street will be less dangerous on any given day. Even on Marengo, the bike paths disappear when they are needed most, and these streets are dangerous in the same places: at the intersections north of Colorado and South of Villa going over the freeway and near the freeway entrances.
Please give us a few good options in Pasadena for hiking NORTH and SOUTH.
Thank you!
Dale Zapata

ALL AGES AND ABILITIES STANDARD FOR THE GREENWAYS
Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and Councilmembers:
As president of the League of Women Voters Pasadena Area, I am writing to express our support for the All Ages and Abilities standard of the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) for the Greenways Program.
The League of Women Voters United States and our League have recommended that the 13 cities in the Pasadena service area adopt the "Ten Actions that City Governments Can Take to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions" model to aggressively combat climate destruction. Action #10 is reducing vehicular traffic and supporting active transportation. In California, the use of fossil fuel vehicles is the leading source of the dangerous greenhouse gas emissions that have caused the climate crisis we now face. By taking action to encourage residents to use active transportation, city governments can have a significant climate mitigation impact.
We commend the city for the Greenways Program! Making bicycle transportation safe for Pasadena residents of all ages and abilities is critical to get the maximum benefit from the program. We ask that the city adopt the All Ages and Abilities standard to make this program a success.
Best regards,
h^jk^^^i^L.

Hi Jessica,
I wanted to express my SUPPORT for the El Molino Greenway! I have received flyers against it and wanted to push back. I commuted to my previous job on foot to Lake Ave. Station for 6 years and I know the proposed construction will help make a safer pedestrian route. El Molino is also a great spot for this improvement -1 watched many frustrated drivers tailing cyclists because it is labeled a "cycle route" and "greenway," despite the fact that cyclists were never given any extra room, and drivers are just expected to be patient with cyclists in a single traffic lane.
I am very enthusiastic about this mission! Thank you for your time and being such a great representative all these years.
Warm regards,
Elissa Fultz

I received an unsolicited flyer on my doorstep in Madison Heights this evening from an organization attempting to protest the El Molino Greenway, and I'm furious.
I enthusiastically support this project and others like it. Pasadena should be a place where it is easy and safe to get around by bicycle. I wish I felt safe enough to bike with my kids to school, to the local parks, to shops and restaurants.
Unfortunately, we're not quite there yet. In my opinion, the 2015 Bicycle Transportation Action plan does not go far enough, but it's a good start. The Union Street protected bike lane is a gem! This El Molino greenway is close to my home and I would absolutely use it regularly (I wish it could be a separate protected lane like the one on Union, but we'll take whatever we can get).
Please do whatever you can to continue to support improvements to bicycle infrastructure in Pasadena! Warm Regards,
Joe Russino

Planned Changes to Craig Avenue - "Bicycle Greenway"
Pasadena DOT plans to turn Craig Avenue into a Bicycle Greenway —> A street that would be changed and optimized for bicycle traffic, prioritizing cyclists over motor vehicles
Changes being considered:
Concrete islands blocking some intersections and some travel lanes Roundabouts & traffic circles
A "road diet" (reducing the number of car lanes)
Emergency vehicles could be delayed
Estimated cost: 4 neighborhood streets* ~$12.6* million (~9 miles) For comparison: Union Street Bike Track ~$8.3 million (-1.5 miles) *Price estimates vary, as reported in varying city documentation. f Craig, El Molino. Wilson, Sierra Bonita, scheduled for a later phase.
For Your Awareness
-» KeepPasadenaMoving (KPM), a 2,000+ member group, shares its safety concerns about the proposed changes.
—+ We back Greenways to prioritize safety—for all, drivers, pedestrians, disabled, cyclists, young &old We support common-sense, effective traffic plans and careful use of public funds The Orange Grove road diet was halted after public feedback We're concerned the proposed changes to Craig Avenue:
• Overly complicated
• Compromise safety by forcing traffic down neighborhood streets and distracting drivers • Delay emergency vehicles
• Slated to begin later this year, without widespread communication to impacted neighborhoods Specific Changes Being Considered
Proposed Concrete island at Orange Grove & Craig
• Would block southbound vehicular traffic on Craig
• No more left turns at Craig from Orange Grove (like Home Depot at Foothill & Daisy) Proposed Roundabouts at Las Lunas, Villa, and/or Walnut • Removes parking in front of homes and businesses
• Would remove curbside parking due to added red curb zones Proposed Road Diet for bike lanes on Craig (between Maple and Corson) One lane of traffic in each direction would be removed
• Could cost up to $300,000 for just 0.3 miles (total Greenways project ~$12.6M) Proposed Concrete island south of Colorado
• Blocks all southbound vehicular access to Craig

Dear Pasadena City Council,
I am a local resident who supports safe greenways. Everyone wants to live on a safe, quiet street! Slowing traffic on neighborhood streets is good for everyone. El Molino, Wilson, Sierra Bonita and Craig are the lowest traffic north-south streets that cross the 210 freeway. We should slow down drivers on these streets and reduce cut- through traffic.

Dear Mayor Gordo and Councilmember Cole,
I am a Pasadena District 2 homeowner who supports safe greenways. Everyone wants to live on a safe, quiet street! Slowing traffic on neighborhood streets is good for everyone. El Molino, Wilson, Sierra Bonita and Craig are the lowest traffic north-south streets that cross the 210 freeway. I live on the stretch of Sierra Bonita closest to Jefferson Park School and often see people take it at close to 50 miles per hour. We should slow down drivers on these streets and reduce cut- through traffic.
Best,
Griffin Johnson

Pasadena City Council.
This is in support of the Greenways.
I am retired and continue to spend my money on business and services in Pasadena.
Public streets have become raceways.
I primarily drive but need to get my steps in. When I'm driving I try to avoid Orange Grove due to excessive speeding and tailgating (When I'm trying to go the speed limit).
Greenways will provide a safe place to walk or ride a bike.
Elders and other human beings for greenways!
