Complete Streets Policy
In November, 2017 the City adopted a Complete Streets Policy. This Policy outlines expectations for all new streets, as well as reconstruction and maintenance projects. It also outlines a clear exception policy that must be followed for a project to be granted an exception. A copy of the Complete Streets Policy can be found here: La Verne Complete Streets Policy
First Mile / Last Mile for Gold Line Extension
In May 2019, the Gold Line completed a study for the First Mile / Last Mile areas surrounding the new Gold Line stations. Although labeled First Mile / Last Mile the scope actually is much larger (approximately a 3-mile radius of the stations. The plan provides an excellent preview of the changes possible / coming with the Gold Line and includes a breakdown of projects to implement these changes. It will become a key document for guiding investment, as well as provide a supporting document for future grants. The La Verne Section begins on page 97. Gold Line Extension First Mile / Last Mile
