The City of Anaheim wishes to develop a network of green corridors within the Platinum Triangle that will provide non-motorized linkages from transit to the places where people live, work, shop, and play.

Goals:

  • Reduce over-reliance on automobiles
  • Promote human interaction
  • Enhance the public realm
  • Leverage state funded Urban Greening grant
  • Enhance existing assets and encourage new development
  • Cross section graphics
  • Photo-morphs/photorealistic visualizations
  • Facilitate interdepartmental working group


The Platinum Triangle neighborhood is on the cusp of fulfilling the vision of a vibrant mixed use economic center for not just the City of Anaheim but also the larger Orange County area. Host to a great mix of existing and potential destinations and amenities such as Angel Stadium, Honda Center, Disneyland, the Amtrak/Metrolink Station, and ARTIC development, the Greenway Plan provides a unique opportunity to create a safe, healthy, well connected and identifiable public realm.  This project will be part of a larger effort to develop a realistic, implementable master plan, for connective open space across the entire city.  A major component of this effort will be to brings representatives from various city departments, as well as neighboring cities and partner agencies to identify, and remove bureaucratic obstacles to subsequent demonstration projects.
