The Arroyo Group prepared a FirsULast Mile Plan for the Foothill Gold Line Extension 2B for LA Metro.The Plan was the result of
community outreach which engaged over 1,500 people and over 25 meetings between LA Metro and staff of the five project corridor
cities.It contains over 400 identified projects which will enhance pedestrian,bicycle,transit and pick up/drop off access to the future
Metro stations.Each project is given a planning-level cost estimate and a priority ranking using different metrics.
Following the adoption of the FirsULast Mile Plan by Metro in June 2019,The Arroyo Group was retained by the City of Glendora
to prepare 10%design plans and renderings for grant applicatibns for key firsUlast mile projects.Through a tailored and sensitive
community outreach strategy,community support was garnered for a transfbrmative design which could create Los Angeles County's
first Dutch intersection and raised cycle track,while also ihtroducing a roundabout and pedestrian-priority environments all around.

Mission Street is a village-style commercial district in the City of San Marino adjacent to the cities of South Pasadena and Pasadena.
Despite its pleasant pedestrian scale and comfortable tree-lined streetscapes,economic growth has stalled on the street in recent
decades: The Arroyo Group team studied a range of scenarios to better connect the corridor's pedestrian strolling experience
and expand sidewalk spaces for new placemaking, destination, and guest spill-out opportunities to serve local businesses.
Recaptured streetscape spaces in the corridor were paired with programming and activity scenarios that studied how to best create
a comprehensive and all-inclusive experience along Mission Street. A detailed look at activities and programming for the corridor
was informed by the local community and through a calendar-style matrix to ensure a vision for the corridor was reaching a full range
of potential user groups. A detailed cost and phasing strategy was also prepared to give the City and local decision makers a broad
range of tools for near and long-term implementation of the full vision.

Heart of Norwalk Vision Plan Assistant City Manager,

The Arroyo Group prepared the Heart of Norwalk V'ision Plan,which articulated a clear,consensus-driven direction for
the San Antonio Village and Firestone Corridor, two aging areas in Norwalk's core. The Plan was based on a broad,
comprehensive and meaningful outreach process conducted during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Included
was a consistent social media campaign with over 700 followers and 3,000 post likes and comments;a paper and online
survey reaching 363 households;four engaging videos with over 3,000 reproductions; and almost 100 participants in
online workshops.The Plan uncovered the desire of Norwalk's po.pulation, particularly the large youth and young adult
population,to have higher-quality commercial amenities and experiences located within a vibrant,mixed-use setting.
Putting form to the community's desire and operating within the context of economic realities,the Plan establishes two
centers to the Heart of Norwalk—the Front Street Historic District,an entertainment district with ample space for outdoor
dining and enjoyment in a historio setting, and the Town Square District, a mixed-use commercial center focu§ed on
a community gathering space. The two centers are linked by San Antonio Drive, an iconic complete street corridor,
and supported by new residential and public transit,opportunities along the Fir.estone Corridor.The Plan was adopted
unanimously by City Council and is forming the basis for a current Specific Plan effort.

Los Angeles Chapter Planning Project Award
South Lake Avenue Streetscape Concept Plan
As a Pasadena-based firm,The Arroyo Group's involvement in the City of Pasadena has been extensive. Over the last four
decades,we have been instrumental in creating and enhancing the four districts within Downtown Pasadena—Old Pasadena,
Pasadena Playhouse District,Pasadena Civic Center/Mid-Town District,and South Lake Avenue—shaping the physical,social
and economic environment of Downtown Pasadena.
Save our History=Working in tandem with Pasadena Heritage,The Arroyo Group and other key activist organizations,were
instrumental in saving Old Pasadena from large scAle derriolition and replacement with multi-story office towers. As the team
leader for the Plan for Old Pasadena,The Arroyo Group defined uses,parking and circulation approaches which led to the
revitalization of this derelict yet significant historic district. The plan envisioned specialty retailing,entertainment and residential
uses to complement and link with the three other districts of Downtown Pasadena. The plan proposed activation of the districYs
alley walkways,creation of mid-block pass-throughs and shared parking facilities to create a vibrant and interesting pedestrian
environment. Today,more than three decades later,Old Pasadena is a premier local,regional and national destination with an
eclectic and exciting mix of retail and enteRainment tenants as well as a growing residential population.
The Power of an Itlea—In the historic Playhouse District,our team advanced the vision for creating a system of paseos and
courtyards throughout the district—a concept that captured the imagination of the city leaders,community and developers
alike. Twelve years after the adoption of the streetscape plan,this vision is evidenced in the development of multiple private
development projects with paseos and private courtyards that have become an integral part of the spatial experience of the
Playhouse District.

18 Orange Plaza Paseo Streetscape Design Study
4. Project Examples
In spite of being anchored by the Pasadena Piayhouse,the Playhouse District was in serious need for revitalization and identity.
Our Plan transformed the district into a vibrant,mixed-use area of arts,cultural and commercial activities with new theaters,
galleries and museums. The Streetscape Plan provided unique thematic image'ry that is appropriate for a theater district with
landscape,street lighting,signage;public art,and street furniture design elements,giving it the needed identity before the long-
term evitalization could occur. This project won a$1.4 million MTA grant for implementation.
Protect and Enhance-The Civic CenteNMid-Town District Design project is located in the unique and most significant part of
Pasadena-where the City's commercial and civic corridors,Colorado Boulevard and Ga eld Avenue respectively,meet. Site
of a 1920's City Beautiful Plan,the Civic Center District has the Beaux-Arts Pasadena City Hall,Myron Hunt-designed Pasadena
Central Library and Pasadena Civic Auditorium,as its anchors. The Design Plan restores the City Beautiful cross-axis of Garfield
Avenue with Colorado Boulevard across Paseo Colorado,which replaced the encloseii mall,Plaza Pasadena.
Working with a Task Force comprised of stakeholders and interested citizens,The Arroyo Group and the rest of our
multidisciplinary team developed a Design Plan and an Urban Design Framework which included recommendations for
streetscape design,public art elements,and designs for the City Hall's forecourt,Centennial Square-the primary public space in
Pasadena in front of City Hall. A pedestrian-friendly,pleasant,and traffic-calmed Centennial Square will become a spontaneous
gathering space as well as a site for organized large-scale group events and wiil strengthen community.Implementation of these
improvements is ongoing and is in part funded by a MTA$2.8 million grant.
Celebrate the Architecture-The Arroyo Group led a team that was retained by the South Lake Business Association(SLBA)
to continue the ongoing revitalization efforts for South Lake Avenue. One of four established districts in Downtown Pasadena,
South Lake Avenue used to be the premier shopping district in Pasadena and is anchored by a Macy's(formerly Bullock's)
department store. With the emergence of other retail districts in and around Pasadena,South Lake has been in need of a physical
and economic facelift. Several.of the Plan's recommendations for improvements in various elements of the public realm have
been implemented.These include street furniture such as beriches,trash receptacles,bicycle racks,planter boxes,tree grates,
and median planting. Other long-term improvements have been initialized with the formation of a property-based business
improvement district and implementation of an aggressive retail recruitment strategy.
