Pasadena begins phased red‑curb repainting to improve emergency access
Summary
Pasadena has launched a phased citywide project to repaint red curbs to improve safety and emergency access; zones 1–4 are scheduled for completion this year, zones 5–8 next year. Residents should avoid parking in active work areas and can report faded curbs to (626) 744‑7311.
Angela Harrer, host of the Rose City Report, said Pasadena is starting a major, phased project to repaint red curbs across the city to "improve safety, visibility, and emergency access."
The program will proceed in zones; officials told the show each zone is expected to take about three months. Harrer said the city plans to finish zones 1 through 4 this year and schedule zones 5 through 8 for next year, and reminded residents that a painted red curb means no stopping, standing or parking unless signs say otherwise.
The report included practical details for drivers: it is illegal to park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant even if the curb is not painted red, and residents who notice faded red curbs or missing signs can report them by calling (626) 744‑7311 or checking the city's red curb zone map on the public works website.
City staff did not provide additional timing by neighborhood on the broadcast; listeners were directed to the city's online map for schedules and to contact public works for questions.
