Barrio Planners Inc along with Local Government Commission (LGC) provided the City of Baldwin Park a Corridor study reviewing three major streets in pursuit of a Complete Streets initiative. The study included recommendations and designs to improve the corridors and neighborhood connections in the City and make it safer and more comfortable to walk and ride a bicycle to key destinations. The plan introduced Road diets, bike lanes, wider sidewalks, curb extensions, street furniture, and a sustainable median and landscape design. The main focus was for Baldwin Park to adopt a Complete Streets policy, with an emphasis on improving mobility for Baldwin Park residents, employees and customers, and supporting Baldwin Park as a destination rather than a cut through for commuters.
