Garden Grove Active Downtown Plan
Building upon the momentum of Reimagine Garden Grove and other recent efforts, the Garden Grove Active Downtown Plan is a project that aims to create a safer, more connected, and more active downtown Garden Grove community. The City envisions downtown as a unique and inclusive place where Garden Grove's diverse residents and visitors can easily walk, bike, and use alternative modes of transportation. Contributing to a dynamic downtown environment and economy, the Garden Grove Active Downtown Plan will identify mobility strategies to increase both regional and local connectivity to the downtown core.
Project Goals and Objectives
• Connectivity: Create better and improved connections to get to and from downtown Garden Grove
• Accessibility: Help people get to the places they most want to in downtown by developing a supportive culture for walking, biking, and other emerging alternative modes of transportation
• Arts & Downtown Culture: Create a more vibrant downtown that integrates public art and spaces through the context and cultures of Garden Grove's community
• Community Health: Provide opportunities for the community to utilize downtown parks, off-street paths, routes, and public spaces through walking, biking, and other alternative modes of transportation
• Safety: Improve the overall safety of people walking and biking to, from, and within downtown Garden Grove
