We Did It!A Beautiful Boulevard is Coming Soon to Eagle Rock
In late 2020, Eagle Rock neighbors came together to design a “Beautiful Boulevard,” a vision for Metro’s North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Project that would preserve our medians, on-street parking, space for Al Fresco outdoor dining, all while making for a safer and greener main street for Eagle Rock.
Bus Rapid Transit Service for Eagle Rock
Eagle Rock will soon have new transit stations on Colorado Boulevard near Eagle Rock Plaza, Caspar Avenue, and Townsend Avenue providing fast and reliable service to and from Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, and North Hollywood, with easy connections to Orange Line and Gold Line service.
Expanded Medians and Greenery
Building on Take Back The Boulevard, Metro will be building expanded medians and has committed to providing more street trees along Colorado Boulevard to provide greenery and shade.
Support for Small Businesses
Metro has committed to work with the Eagle Rock community to refine plans to preserve opportunities for Al Fresco dining, and to provide support for local small business through construction.
A More Pedestrian Friendly Street
Current speeds along Colorado Boulevard are too fast. Metro’s plan will ‘right-size’ Colorado Boulevard in Downtown Eagle Rock and near Eagle Rock schools to provide a safer, quieter, and more pleasant walking street. New crosswalks and signals on Colorado Boulevard will provide safer access throughout Downtown Eagle Rock and to Dahlia Heights Elementary School.
