I attended a civic function today on the Parker-Mayberry Bridge, under the Colorado Street Bridge. I had never been there before.We were there for a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the Central Arroyo Stream Restoration. To quote the press release, "Stream habitat enhancements, runoff treatment and devices that prevent trash from polluting streams are among the components of this exciting $2.5 million project that will turn [the] Central Arroyo into a model of what can be done in urban areas to help clean up waterways." The City of Pasadena loves to partner with organizations like the Arroyo Seco Foundation to do good stuff like this.
After the speeches, the mayor and other dignitaries planted a native oak and posed for photos while everyone cheered. In all the hubbub, I noticed this father and son across the Arroyo, standing under the Colorado Street Bridge and wondering what the heck was going on.

Sounds like you were there for a great cause, great links. The City website is very nice.
Great picture, I didnt notice the father and son until I read the post. It gives great perspective on how large that bridge is. It looks very imposing.
The Colorado Street Bridge is a Pasadena icon. I hope to have many more photos of it on the blog eventually. Thanks, Jim.
