Los Angeles,CA 90053 BUDGET IMPACT Adoptionof the staff recommendationwill not have an impact on the MTAbudget since the recommendationdoes not propose a budget increase. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Noalternatives were considered since the Boarddirected at its June, 1996 meeting that this workbe conducted. BACKGROUNDAND/OR DISCUSSION At the June meeting, the Board approved freezing the PasadenaBlue Line (PBL) scope of work with a report back in 60 days on resolution of outstanding communityissues and adoption of the final budget. Over the past three months, MTAstaff has met with local elected officials, communitygroups and city staff membersrepresenting the five communitiesalong the PBLalignment. A list of identified issues raised at these meetings, along with any previously unresolved items are listed in Attachment1. Staffworkedwithin the limitations of the previously defined construction budget to resolve manyof these issues. A total of four meetings were held with Chinatownrepresentatives addressing station issues, including pedestrian connectionsto various locations within the communityand the enhancementof the public plaza adjacent to the station (Attachment2). Staffregularly attended and participated in the HighlandPark Historic Preservation OverlayZone Association meetings to resolve issues such as the configuration of MarmionWay. MTA staffmet with elected officials and staff from both the Cities of South Pasadena and Pasadena and progressed on a number of issues including station design and station area planning. In addition, the current station canopyprocess has been concludedwith four of the affected communities (Attachment3). Attachment3 refers to two possible approaches to the shared station canopydesign. Oneuses a solid roof and the other (preferred by the communitiesalong the alignment) includes a lighted skylight. Staff will bid both options as part of the station construction contract. If the communitypreferred option is not significantly more,staffwill approvethis design as part of the project. A draft outline of the Construction Mitigation Plan for the PBLhas been prepared and included per Board request (Attachment4). Since the June Boardmeeting, staffreview indicates that the previously recommendedbudget should be maintained. Staff will continue to technically refine the project during the design process and to workwith all impacted communities. DBE PARTICIPATION This Boardreport does not involve the awardof a contract and therefore does not directly impact DBEParticipation with the MTA.Staff will continue all current MTAprograms to ensure DBEparticipation throughout the design and construction process of the PasadenaBlue Line.
