A “road diet” is an element in the city’s adopted Safe and Healthy Street Plan, a policy document that promotes a vision in Glendale where residents live healthier, safer lives by walking and riding a bicycle for transportation and recreation.

A “road diet” is intended to make roads safer and more livable for all road users, including residents and non-residents alike. The City Council has approved a test-case “road diet” on Honolulu Avenue between Orangedale Avenue and (approximately) Whiting Woods Road. The project, which will be implemented in June 2012 and conducted for approximately nine to 12 months, will reduce Honolulu Avenue’s existing four-lane cross section (two travel lanes per direction) to three travel lanes: one travel lane per direction plus a center two-way-left-turn lane. The elimination of the fourth travel lane will allow the creation of designated bicycle lanes.
