Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena partially closes to transform road into on-street dining

Lanes on stretches of Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena closed temporarily starting Friday to allow restaurants to offer on-street dining to limit indoor service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lane closest to the north and south curbs between Madison and El Molina avenues will be closed as will the lane closest to the south curb between Fair Oaks and Raymond avenues, according to Lisa Derderian, Pasadena public information officer.

Union Street, west of Raymond Avenue, will also have one lane closed on its north side starting Friday, Derderian said.

One lane in each direction of Colorado Boulevard will be open for vehicles. Transit services will not be disrupted, Derderian said.
