Sierra Madre Blvd. Median Enhancement

The City of Pasadena is planning a median enhancement project along a 1.25 mile stretch of Sierra Madre Blvd, replacing the existing landscape with drought-tolerant vegetation including shrubs, groundcover, and new shade trees to promote water efficiency and aesthetic improvement. The project incorporates nature-based solutions and green infrastructure such as bioswales, bioretention areas, dry rock beds, and drywells to manage both dry weather and wet weather surface runoff, enhancing stormwater capture and reducing urban runoff impacts. This initiative is part of broader efforts to increase resilience and sustainability in the city’s public spaces. The project is forecasted for release on August 5, 2026, with no solicitation number issued yet and no set-aside classification specified. All work will be performed within Pasadena, California, and the Stormwater Program Administrator, Dawn Petschauer, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
