Union Street Protected Bikeway Ribbon-Cutting Will Feature a Resource Fair

The Saturday ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Union Street Protected Bikeway project along Union Street between Arroyo Parkway and Hill Avenue and along Holliston Avenue between Union Street and Cordova Street will also feature a Resource Fair in front of Pasadena City Hall.

The Union Street Protected Bikeway is a 1.5 mile long two-way protected bike lane along Union Street and a 0.3-mile-long bike boulevard along Holliston Avenue with traffic signal and curb ramp improvements along both streets. 

Local, state and federal elected officials and dignitaries have been invited to speak at the event and an inaugural bike ride.

The morning’s events will begin at 8:30 a.m., with dignitaries speaking at 9:30 a.m. and a short inaugural bike ride on Union Street from City Hall to Playhouse Village Park and back, immediately to follow.

City Departments such as Transit, Public Works, Public Health, Library, Parks and Rec, and Water and Power will be providing information on local services while exhibitors such as Day One, ActiveSGV, Huntington Health, Playhouse Village Association, Streets are for Everyone, Pasadena Athletic Association, Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition, and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network will also be on hand. 

Local bike shops Around the Cycle and Trek Bikes will provide information on their offerings to interested attendees. 

This project was designed to give residents and visitors the means to safely bicycle to Pasadena destinations such as Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village, Pasadena City College, and the Caltech campus.
