Arrow Highway Corridor Demonstration Project

Multi-jurisdictional planning efforts are critical as the region works to implement Compass Blueprint Principles and accommodate future transportation, jobs and housing needs for our residents. The Arrow Highway Demonstration Project engaged six unique jurisdictions within the San Gabriel Valley to create a unified vision and plan for the 8.5-mile corridor. The project provided land use, economic, design and implementation strategies to improve the overall corridor, while creating greater connections between land use and transportation. Regional collaboration of this nature ultimately encourages participating jurisdictions to leverage their respective political, regulatory, financial and physical resources to comprehensively and sustainably improve their own communities and their subregion as a whole. This effort has served as a model in the San Gabriel Valley for other similar planning efforts along major corridors.
