Acquiring land for publicpurposes in Glendale is

increasingly expensive andcould cost about $10 millionper acre1, which is a sizableportion of the cost of asimilarly-sized cap park.There are few available sitesin downtown Glendale thatcould be used for a majorurban park.

There may be funding at theregional, State, and Federal

level that could be accessedto build a cap park. Thereare also opportunities tosecure non-tax fundingfrom development impactfees, philanthropy, andrevenue generated at thepark itself.

A new open space and ahighly-amenitized park inplace of the 134 Freeway islikely to increase property

values and will strengthenGlendale’s regional position.

Space 134 and theassociated transit hubcould attract new visitors toGlendale, increase how long

they stay, and encouragerepeat visits, supportinglocal businesses andincreasing tax revenues tosupport City services.

CurrentIn 2014, Metro completed a studyfor a Countywide Bus Rapid Transit

(BRT) system with the goal to improvetravel time and schedule reliability.

The North Hollywood to Pasadena corridorwas highly recommended for BRT, and a feasibility and

operational design assessment is currently underway.

This would connect the North Hollywood Metro Stationto the City of Pasadena via the 134 Freeway.

By integrating transit into Space 134, residentsand visitors will receive a greater range of efficient

mobility options.

A rapid transit line between the

San Fernando Valley, Burbank,

Glendale and Pasadena has been

studied for decades.

ONNECTING REGIONALLY

...BRT buses

travel on a

fully-dedicated

right-of-way

to avoid traffic

congestion.

“BRT” buses have

similar benefits as

Rapid buses, but...Lower floors

& fewer stops

mean shorter

travel times by

as much as 29

percent.

Bus signal priority

over other vehicles.

“LRT” uses dedicated rail lines as opposed

to being confined to surface streets,

which often decreases travel times

compared to Rapid buses and BRT buses.

Integrating Transitinto Space 134

For Space 134, newtransit mobility

enhancements mayinclude bus rapid

transit or light rail witha station in the freeway

median or stops at-grade on Goode Avenue

WHAT IS A MOBILITY HUB?Mobility hubs are inter-modal transit stations that offer a range of transportation options for its users.

The concentration of services has the benefit of seamless transferring between different modes.

In most cases, capitalfunding requires a mix ofpublic and private funding,with deck infrastructurefunded publicly, and the

surface park and amenitiesdrawing heavily fromprivate sources.

Philanthropy, as in thecase of Klyde Warren Park,can kick-start the parkdevelopment process, andwill be essential to creating

a high-quality park, asthere are limited sourcesof public funds for openspace improvements.

Funds for the deckstructure could comefrom a variety of publicsources, but will requireextensive grassroots

efforts in Sacramentoand Washington, D.C. todemonstrate Space 134’swide-ranging communitybenefits.

Successful implementationwill require localgovernment to leveragepublic-private partnerships.To revitalize an unsuccessful,

publicly-funded freewaycap, an organization inPhoenix plans to privatelyfund a new signature park.

Highly-programmed,signature downtown parksrequire significant annualoperating funding, rangingfrom $250,000-$750,000

In addition to annualfundraising, privateorganizational supportwill be essential to ensurea high-quality park and

continued maintenance,operations and engagingprogramming.

Active park elementslike cafes and spaces forevents can help subsidizea small portion of parkoperation costs, but it will

be important to balanceactive elements withcommunity-serving passivepark spaces.

The long-term sustainabilityof Space 134 will requiresignificant governanceand operating resources,which may mean a public-
