This project includes planning and conceptual design of streetscape, trails, stormwater and park improvements through a public participation program tailored for the communities of Avocado Heights, Bassett and Valinda in the San Gabriel Valley.  Public workshops were promoted to 30,000 households and created a strong statement of support for the projects and this proved useful in applications for competitive grant funding.  The team inventoried the lands under consideration, and prepared conceptual landscape designs, detailed implementation steps and budgets for each project.  For each project a set of potential funding sources and approvals procedures were identified.
