Recommendation of
Pasadena SR 710 Design Advisory Group: The
Pasadena SR 710
Design Advisory Group (DAG), supports the following
list of projects
for funding under the U.S. Congress Bill H.R. 5394, which
has appropriated
$24.5 million to the City of Pasadena for transportation
improvements in the
710 Freeway corridor. These projects, including
the MTA/City of
Pasadena required match of 11.47% would amount to a
total of
$27,675,000. We recommend that these projects be approved
by the City
Council. Further, the DAG believes it urgent that the City
move quickly with
the implementation of these projects to protect the
authorized funding
and to assure that these potential traffic mitigation
measures can begin
to bring some traffic relief to our community which
has now waited for
many years after the initial Record of Decision
authorizing this
plan was approved. The projects listed in order of
priority, together
with their respective estimated costs, are:
