Brea Core Plan: Active Transportation Plan
The City of Brea embarked on a collaborative effort with the community to prepare a long-range plan for the heart of the City. This fact sheet answers commonly asked questions and provides information on elements of the process.
As part of the Brea Core Plan, the City received a grant from Cal Trans to study cyclists and pedestrian safety along major corridors and prepare an Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Throughout the process, staff engaged residents and businesses to explore ways to improve the safety and experience for cyclists and pedestrians along streets, sidewalks, and trails within Brea’s core.

The Orange County Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) awarded the City of Brea for Excellence in Transportation Planning for Brea’s “Connecting the Core Active Transportation Plan (ATP).” This Plan was adopted by the City Council on January 21, 2020, and is an integral part of the Brea Envisions Community Strategic Plan. This Plan was also granted a Merit for Public Outreach award since it was developed with extensive community input gathered through a series of workshops, meetings with local stakeholders, pop-up events, and a design charrette. Furthermore, it provides a set of implementable actions to guide future improvements and serves as a foundation for a safe, sustainable, and connected community.
These awards from APA make the Plan eligible for the APA California Chapter awards in both Transportation Planning and Public Outreach. A special thanks and congratulations to the Public Works Department, the Communications & Marketing Division who assisted with outreach, and the staff and community that contributed to the plan.
