Summary

City staff previewed the Baldwin Park Greenway grand opening, saying the Feb. 14 event at Walnut Creek Nature Park drew roughly 115 registered attendees (more with walk-ins), included a ribbon cutting and plaque unveiling, and is part of a larger connectivity plan that staff say will link to other regional trails.

The commission heard a recap Tuesday from Community Service Supervisor Alberto Rea who said the Baldwin Park Greenway grand opening took place Feb. 14 at Walnut Creek Nature Park and drew about 115 registered attendees with additional walk-ins.

"We were able to attract a large sum of individuals to confirm attendance," Rea said, describing a program that included a tribal acknowledgment, presentations, a ribbon cutting and plaque unveiling. He said ActiveSGV provided loaner bikes and that the event included local running groups and visiting dignitaries.

Rea said the Greenway is open daily from dawn to dusk and is ADA accessible. He described the ribbon cutting as one element of a broader connectivity effort and cited a planned 2.6-mile Big Dalton segment that would connect Hilda Solis to Walnut Creek Park.

A commissioner asked whether the Greenway will continue past Ramona Boulevard toward Los Angeles Street or Rivergrade Road. Rea replied that users currently cross west on Ramona to the other side of the riverbed to connect to Santa Fe Dam and that the route continues on the west side.

Rea also said the city used social media, the city website, digital display boards and neighbor canvassing to publicize the opening and that the event ran roughly three hours, with lunch and outreach stations on site.

The presentation noted sponsors and partners involved in the opening and stressed that the Greenway is intended to expand local connectivity and provide an accessible recreation corridor. Commissioners thanked staff for organizing the event; no formal action was taken during the meeting.
