This week, we’re teaming up with our Active Streets team and the City of Baldwin Park to explore the City’s first greenway, recently opened to the public. We’ll ride the trail, do a bike audit to review future amenities and features that could be added, and pitch in for a light cleanup to help keep the greenway clean and safe. Bring your ideas, comments, and suggestions for the trail, we want to hear them.
