Will Warner Center Active Transportation Hub be Replicated Across the SFV?

The City of Los Angeles, in partnership with the Southern California Association of Governments, is working on the Warner Center Active Transportation Hub, a project to reimagine Warner Center as an active transportation hub for jobs and housing.

The project will:

• Identify challenges to walking and biking in the area.
• Identify the top 20 priority corridors to improve.
• Design solutions for typical streets in the Warner Center area.
• Develop a funding plan for the top 3 priority projects.
• Advance the top 3 projects to the 30% design phase, including cost estimates.

There are five types of priorities:

• Improve Public Space for the pedestrian and bicyclist experience
• Policy/Program actions to facilitate improvements
• Crossings for safe, comfortable, and convenient crossings
• Intersection Crossings to improve how intersections are crossed
• Multimodal Corridors to make strong active corridors
• Overall, 26 intersections (60 percent of Warner Center intersections) and 20 blocks (23 percent of Warner Center blocks) are recommended for priority improvements.

The project started December 2024. 

• 28 draft priority projects of walking and biking improvements, were presented for public comment at meetings with Canoga Park High School on December 1 and at the December 2nd Community Meeting.
• View the PowerPoint Presentation [here]
• Of the 29 draft priorities, three are being prepared with design plans to better position them for grant funding

Since then, there has been 18 months of meetings, summaries, and reports (technical analysis, assessments, project outreach, defining project priorities) leading to a Final Plan and Project Completion scheduled for the Winter of 2026

The project is grant-funded by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) through the Sustainable Communities Program - Civic Engagement, Equity, and Environmental Justice (SCP CEEEJ).
