The City of Glendale is moving forward with plans for the Glendale-Los Angeles Garden River Bridge Project. This novel bridge will connect Glendale and Los Angeles for pedestrians and cyclists, spanning the Los Angeles River.
A New Connection for Glendale and Los Angeles
Once completed, the bridge is intended to create a direct, accessible route for those walking and biking between the two cities. It will also improve access to parks, trails, and local destinations. The project aims to enhance safety and convenience for pedestrians and cyclists, encouraging more active forms of recreation and commuting.
Officials anticipate the bridge will support regional goals related to cleaner air and active transportation options. A community meeting is scheduled to provide more information and gather public input.
