Food, fun, and easy parking

Pasadena is currently deciding how to transform the 710 "ditch" in West Pasadena into a new neighborhood with housing, shops, offices, parks and new roads, bike paths, and bus options. Led by youth from John Muir and Sequoyah School, this event will bring together young people to learn about and share input on plans for the 710 corridor—covering housing, transportation, environment, and more. Student ideas and recommendations will be shared with city leaders.
