Lake Avenue Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Project From 2020 through 2021, the City of Pasadena conducted a safety enhancement corridor study for North Lake Avenue, spanning from Mountain Street to Maple Street. The primary goal of this project was to improve pedestrian and traffic safety along the 0.6-mile corridor, which connects downtown Pasadena and the Metro A-Line Lake Station with neighborhoods north of the freeway. The study incorporated public and stakeholder input to evaluate safety and connectivity, resulting in the development of a concept design with cost estimates for community-supported improvements. As part of the process, the Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the consultant KOA Corporation, held three public workshops to gather input and finalize the conceptual design. Based on the feedback received through the initial public outreach process, City staff identified a recommended set of safety enhancements along the corridor and applied for grant funding to advance the design phase and construct the recommended enhancements. In 2022, the City was awarded an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) Cycle 6 Grant to fund the final design and construction of the project.
