Pasadena seeks your comments on Rose Bowl Loop

INPUT SOUGHT ON DRAFT PLANS TO ENHANCE ROSE BOWL LOOP

Rose Bowl recreation loop walkers, bicyclists, runners, dog owners, parents with strollers, skaters, unicyclists, golfers and motorists are encouraged to review draft plans to improve the loop.

A display and copies of the preliminary plan will be available for review and comment at the Rose Bowl loop Tuesday, July 28, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in tents at Brookside Golf Club and Lot K. Information is also available at www.cityofpasadena.net/rosebowlloop.

As recreation in the Rose Bowl area continues to rise in popularity, the city of Pasadena is proposing improvements in roadway circulation to ensure the needs and safety of all users.

Preliminary plans for the 3.3-mile loop call for modification of striping and signage to provide a wider lane so walkers can travel in either direction around the course, a suitable lane for bicyclists and vehicles, and a narrower outside lane for vehicles.

“This option was chosen for its adaptability to future changes if needed,” said Pasadena Transportation Director Fred Dock. “The roadways that encircle the Rose Bowl Stadium provide a unique and valuable resource to those who enjoy outdoor exercise.”

The innermost portion of the loop is a dedicated walkway that currently is outlined with a painted buffer zone separating foot traffic from adjacent bicycle and vehicular traffic.
