Summary

The City of Pasadena and partners launched a public planning process for restoring the historic Emma Dickinson bird sanctuary in the Lower Arroyo Seco, soliciting a community survey and two August workshops to inform a long-term master plan focused on accessibility, safety, and native habitat.

Mackenzie Mercado, host of the Rose City Report for Pasadena Media, said the City of Pasadena, the Arroyo Foundation, and RJM Design Group are inviting residents to help shape plans for the Emma Dickinson bird sanctuary in the Lower Arroyo Seco. "The project aims to preserve the site's historic features while improving accessibility, pedestrian safety, native habitat, and the overall visitor experience," Mercado said.

Organizers asked residents to complete a community survey and attend one of two public workshops in August at Brookside Golf Club; public feedback will be used to develop a long-term master plan for the overlook and guide future restoration work. The announcement emphasized preservation and accessibility goals but did not specify an overall project budget or construction timeline.
