-Visioning Program For 2020-
Chapter 2
A Celebration of the Vision

Given all these changes over the past two decades, West Covina remains a human-scaled city. Most new buildings were restricted to a modest height that preserved the vistas of surrounding hills. While the automobile remains an important part of the city's transportation system, it no longer overwhelms the neighborhoods and the larger community. Instead, there are now more walkers, bicyclists and community shuttles operating as highly visible and efficient aspects of community life.

Landscaping in and around the central urban village has given the entire city a distinctive look that is replicated at important gateways to the city and along major east-west and north-south avenues. By working together to enhance the lives of the city's youth, the residents of West Covina have created a new people friendly urban environment that preserves what is cherished most about our neighborhoods while adding the vitality and excitement of a more mature city.

It was twenty years ago today that the residents and civic institutions of West Covina came together for the first time to form the youth partnership. Today we are celebrating that important milestone in the history of our community. In honor of that occasion, there will be a parade along the entire length of the central gathering place from Glendora Avenue to the performing arts center across from the Civic Center. All the many citizen volunteers who donated their time, energy, and creativity to making this celebration possible will lead the parade.
