The City of Pasadena Invites Residents to the Reconnecting Pasadena SR-710 Vision Plan City Council Workshop

PASADENA, Calif. - The City of Pasadena invites residents to the City Council Workshop of the Draft Reconnecting Pasadena 710 Vision Plan on Monday, March 30, 2026, 6 p.m., at the Pasadena City Hall, Council Chambers. The City Council meeting will include viewing of an excerpt from the documentary Amplify | Voices of People and Families Displaced by Freeway Construction in Pasadena, California, and the presentation of two prestigious awards the film won.

The Reconnecting Pasadena 710 Vision Plan consolidates the work led by consultants Perkins Eastman, the City Council-appointed Reconnecting Communities 710 Advisory Group, City staff, and other stakeholders over the past three years into a comprehensive, community-driven plan. Main elements of the Vision Plan include the City's first Restorative Justice Framework, developed as part of the historic project that documented the displacement of the communities, primarily communities of color, from the 710 Stub area. The Vision Plan also provides direction and recommendations for integrating the 710 Stub into the surrounding neighborhoods and outlines strategies for long-term land-use, mobility, sustainability, and implementation efforts.

"Pasadena is defined by its public spaces, its beautiful neighborhoods, thriving business districts, and historic assets like City Hall, the Rose Bowl, Ambassador Auditorium, and Caltech-all contributing to our sense of place. With the Vision Plan, we can learn from and reflect on the best aspects of what surrounds it," said Mayor Victor Gordo.

The City Council will hold a second Workshop on Monday, April 13, 2026, in the City Council Chambers at 6 p.m., to continue the discussion and to receive recommendations from City staff on the Reconnecting Pasadena 710 Vision Plan.
