City of Pasadena Invites the Community to a Public Information Meeting for the Brookside Park Stormwater Capture Project

PASADENA, Calif - The City of Pasadena, as the lead agency, is holding this Public Information Meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the La Casita Del Arroyo, 177 S. Arroyo Blvd. The meeting will highlight and discuss the environmental process for the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Brookside Park Stormwater Capture Project (Project) and seek input from the meeting attendees on the scope of issues the IS/MND should address.

Residents are encouraged to join City staff and the consultants for an opportunity to:

• Attend a presentation providing an update on the Project and next steps for implementation.
• Discuss the process for the California Environmental Quality Act's (CEQA's) IS/MND document.
• Connect with staff and Project team to discuss how the Project provides a comprehensive stormwater capture and treatment at the project site.

The Brookside Park Stormwater Capture Project is proposed within the Rose Bowl Lot I parking lot, southeast of the intersection of Seco St. and North Arroyo Blvd., at 360 N. Arroyo Blvd. The Project aims to improve water quality by capturing and treating stormwater and dry weather runoff from the northwest portion of the City into a subsurface infiltration gallery while bringing community-focused improvements through above ground features. The Project will address critical water quality compliance goals in the Arroyo Seco and Los Angeles River and increase water supply for the City of Pasadena's Raymond Basin.

Led by the City's Department of Public Works, this project is being developed with support and in coordination with Pasadena residents and stakeholders through ongoing public outreach and engagement efforts.
