Project Planning Overview:
In 2012, Los Angeles County adopted the Bikeway Master Plan into the Mobility
Element of the County’s General Plan; it replaced the 1975 Plan of Bikeways. The 1975
Plan of Bikeways identified Eaton Wash as a Major Future Off Road Bikeway Corridor
and the 2012 Bikeway Master Plan similarly identifies Eaton Wash as a proposed off
road Class I bike path facility.
In 2014, the City of San Gabriel was party to the San Gabriel Valley Regional Bicycle
Master Plan. In 2011, the City of Temple City adopted their Bicycle Master Plan into
their City’s General Plan. Eaton Wash is identified as a proposed Class I bike path
facility in both these planning documents.
Most recently, in 2017, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed the
“San Gabriel Valley Regional Greenway Network Implementation Plan” motion. Eaton
Wash is included in the SGV Greenway Network Strategic Implementation Plan.
Local communities, for decades, have expressed strong support for this greenway trail.
Project Benefits:
Greenway projects can yield a multitude of community benefits, including:
•Health:Greenways provide closed-to-home opportunities for physical activity
which contribute to better health and quality of life.
•Recreation:Activities such as walking and biking on greenway trails provides
expanded recreation opportunities and can provide for regional, active
mobility.
•Non-motorized Transportation: greenway trails also serve as non-motorized
transportation facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians and can connect
neighborhoods to schools, shopping areas, and other destinations, thereby
cutting down on local motorized traffic and reducing vehicle miles traveled.
•Economic Benefits: Trails are often cited as desired amenities when people are
looking for a home. Having amenities such as trails near a home can increase
its property value.
•Air Quality: Lowering vehicle miles traveled and increasing vegetated areas
can help local air quality.
