PROMISED MITIGATION FOR SOUTH PASADENA

• Historic architectural ornamentation treatment for Columbia Street and Monterey Road bridges.
  
  
• Institute streetscape design elements on Monterey Road, for one block east and west of the 710 corridor, including landscaping, ornamental street lighting, paving, benches, tree grates, trash receptacles, signing, and other design features.
  
  
• Use of "historic-style" light standards to match existing community styles. Similar fixtures should be considered for the bridge designs.
