Space 134

 

​​​​​​​​​The City of Glendale has proposed the Glendale Freeway Ramps/Space 134 Project
as an open space transit-oriented improvement comprised of a usable green space
“cap” over the California State Route (SR) 134/Ventura Freeway that would link
urban and residential neighborhoods located north and south of the SR 134 Freeway

from Central Avenue to Balboa Avenue.

 

The project is envisioned to relink the well-established residential neighborhoods

North of the freeway to downtown Glendale and its civic, cultural, and business

offerings to the south; revitalize Downtown’s highway-adjacent neighborhoods;

catalyze new development and investment in the city; introduce green space and

urban forest in the middle of Glendale; allow downtown Glendale to increase its

density while maintaining ample space for people to relax, exercise, gather, and

participate in events; and improve traffic performance on both the Freeway and City

streets through adjustments to the freeway on- and off-ramps, incorporation of

frontage roads, and reduction in automobile trips through new BRT and/or City Streetcar services. The proposed project being evaluated by the City is at the third development stage, which was first conceived as a “freeway lid” element of the Glendale Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) in 2006 and identified in the 2007 Glendale Downtown Mobility Study.  The Space 134 Vision Plan and Preliminary Engineering Study can be found here.
