This week, the Arcadia City Council took an important step in planning for the Gold Line’s imminent arrival (just four years from now!). The Council approved an update to its General Plan that “aims to make the future Metro Gold Line station the heart of a revitalized downtown.” Specifically, the decision changed zoning rules in downtown Arcadia to allow residential units above commercial spaces near the future station at First Avenue and Santa Clara Street. Council members noted that these changes can encourage growth in residency and commercial activity in the area. Read more about how the city of Arcadia is re-envisioning its downtown.
