We appreciate Keane’s bold vision for a Pasadena that leads the way to solve the difficult challenges that the city shares with its neighbors across Los Angeles County. Bike the Vote L.A. is honored to endorse Tricia Keane for Pasadena City Council District 2.”

“Pasadena is facing a crisis of housing and homelessness. People who live and work in Pasadena are being priced out of our community. We need someone dedicated to solutions, not the status quo to tackle our affordability crisis,” stated Tricia Keane.

Tricia Keane laid out a bold vision of tackling Pasadena’s crisis of mobility, including accelerating the implementation of Pasadena’s Safe Streets & Safe Routes to School, improving local bus service, and developing a robust network of protected bike lanes.
