By 2022, visitors to Glendale’s Artsakh Avenue might find a bustling pedestrian haven with outdoor dining, an interactive play zone for kids, performances and art.
In a little over two years, visitors to Glendale’s art and entertainment district might find a bustling pedestrian haven with outdoor dining, an interactive play zone for kids, planned and spontaneous performances, and art everywhere from overhead to eye level to underfoot.
“What we’re trying to do is make this an attractive place, and, specifically, I think we’re trying to make it an attractive place for younger people,” Councilman Frank Quintero said during a special council meeting Dec. 17, adding that he would like to see digital art incorporated.Slated to be completed by spring or summer of 2022, the overhaul — which includes a year of cultural programming and public art — is pegged at a price of nearly $8.3 million.
It could also be used to host classes and events such as outdoor yoga, said Bradley Calvert, Glendale’s assistant director of community development. Concentration of the most visually stimulating aspects of the plan in the southern stretch is by design.Besides providing more space than the northern area, “the southern portion is also absent of things to really activate it right now,” Calvert said.
A call for will be issued for local artists interested in designing public artwork, as well as several monument signs that will be located along the street. “If it’s one lane — I assume there will be some times when people, they go to movies and other places, and they get out together — there will be [so much] traffic here that causes the [traffic] to stop and create some problems,” Councilman Vrej Agajanian said, echoing several other council members.Advertisement
