Profile - Whittier Boulevard

We are excited to announce a major milestone in the Historic Whittier Boulevard Revitalization Program - the release of the DRAFT multi-modal plan. Based on robust community input, the document not only outlines a vision for the future of Whittier Boulevard but also sets the stage for a safer, more accessible corridor for vulnerable roadway users such as seniors, youth, pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities. The plan also outlines a path to establish a thriving “uptown” business district in Pico Rivera. The plan is now available for public review and comment through the month of February. The final plan will be prepared for Council approval in April 2024.
Your input has been invaluable in shaping this plan. We extend our sincerest thanks to all residents, stakeholders, community groups, and our dedicated youth ambassadors who actively participated in our numerous town halls, planning charrettes, pop-up booths, city tours, virtual meetings, and workshops over the past year. Your insights and feedback have played a crucial role in the development and design of the multi-modal plan.
The draft plan is now accessible on the City website, and we encourage you to take the time to review it and share your thoughts with us. Your feedback will help us refine the plan further, ensuring that it reflects the aspirations and needs of our community.
This draft plan marks a major achievement in the revitalization program, representing the first significant deliverable in designing the future of Whittier Boulevard. We are excited about the positive impact this initiative will have on our city, and we look forward to continuing this journey with your active participation.
Thank you once again for your engagement and contributions to this transformative project. Together, we are shaping a brighter future for Pico Rivera.
