The Glendale “Space 134” project is a concept study for a “freeway cap park” over the 134 Freeway from Central Avenue to Glendale Avenue. The freeway cap park would connect the community to the City’s civic, cultural, and business core through public open spaces, and through pedestrian & bike friendly trails.

Re-stitching Downtown together and adding a highly-amentized park in place of the 134 Freeway will have a significant positive effect on nearby and adjacent property values.

New park space in Downtown Glendale will promote active lifestyles, improving public health; a freeway cap will reduce pollution and enhance air quality, reduce runoff, and encourage biodiversity.

Regular park programming, including major events, can attract new visitors to Glendale, increase how long they stay Downtown, and encourage repeat visits, supporting local businesses.

Space 134 would enhance Glendale’s brand, further enabling the City to compete regionally to attract new employees, residents and visitors to the City, and in particular Downtown.

Highly-programmed, signature downtown parks require significant annual operating funding, ranging from $250,000-$750,000 per acre, and earned income rarely exceeds 20 percent of total expenses.

Adopting an effective governance strategy early on in the planning process will be essential to create a high-quality park and to support continued maintenance, operations and engaging programming.

In most cases, capital funding requires a mix of public and private funding, with deck infrastructure funded publicly, and the surface park and amenities drawing heavily from private sources.

The successful implementation of Space 134 will require governance, capital and operating resources, and it will be important for local government to leverage public-private partnerships.
