APA / APBP Summer in the City - Downtown Azusa and Gold Line Station Walking Tour

Join the American Planning Association, the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, and the City of Azusa for an amazing walking tour and networking opportunity in Downtown Azusa and Congregation Alehouse!

Participants will meet on Azusa Avenue, immediately north of the train station @ 10 AM (across the street from the Target entrance).

The walking tour will include the following stops and topics in downtown Azusa:

-Public Art in Azusa. From our starting point we will enjoy a new mural and learn some of its background; the mural is located on the recently built (AND VERY POPULAR) parking structure that is shared by the City of Azusa, Foothill Transit, and Metro.
-Santa Fe Depot - South of the train tracks are an old Santa Fe Line depot and Alameda Avenue. Several options are being considered by the City, such as restoring the depot and a temporary close of Alameda Avenue for local events; come here what options are being considered for improving pedestrian access near the Gold Line Station.
-Azuza Avenue Streetscape. Azusa Avenue, downtown Azusas main street, is lined with active ground floors of local businesses and provides a very comfortable pedestrian environment with landscaping and trees, pedestrian crossings, and lighting. Hear about how the City developed this streetscape and what strategies are being used to extend this environment throughout downtown Azusa.
-Block 36. Within the downtown Azusa area there are several City-owned opportunity sites, such as Block 36. The City of Azusa is engaged in a procurement process for this site. Attendees will have an opportunity to hear City staff discuss proposals and the Citys vision for this site and downtown Azusa.

Our journey will conclude at Congregation Alehouse. We have an area reserved in the patio and the business operator will chat with us regarding this establishments location and decision to be located in a downtown area near transit.
