This week, the Planning Commission reviewed Pasadena's draft Capital Improvement Program. Our recommendations focused on stepping up street repair; capturing more stormwater to recharge our groundwater reserves for drought; and shifting from contentious battles over neighborhood traffic calming measures to a citywide discussion of how to better balance safety and mobility. We also voted against certifying a study to widen a road and add parking in the Lower Arroyo and using natural areas for basketball and pickleball courts in the Central Arroyo -- instead recommended using existing underutilized paved areas for the courts. https://lnkd.in/g57v5EfB
