San Gabriel Valley Greenway Network Plan

Los Angeles County, CA

The San Gabriel Valley Greenway Network Strategic Implementation Plan is an effort to enhance the existing network of flood control channels in the area with green space buffers, encouraging the use of walking and biking trails. The Plan was intended to accelerate development of greenway design standards and facilitate implementation of high-priority greenway projects that are consistent with the broad master planning of the Greenway Network. PACE provided technical analysis and input for development of the Geographic Information System (GIS)-driven tools used to model the existing capacity of the channel network. The modeling identified which areas were most suitable for improvement and which areas should be excluded from the Plan.

Key Features:

• Green space and walking/biking trails along an existing flood control channel
• SQL-based web application with GIS to collect as-built plan channel geometry
• Watershed-wide suitability analysis to determine areas of most need
• Identifying opportune greening and bike/pedestrian trail locations and design requirements
