  • Exposition Right of Way
    Exposition Right of Way Transportation, Environmental Improvement, Recreation, and Education The Exposition Right of Way (ROW) between Motor Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard in West Los Angeles is a fallow strip of land with exciting opportunities. First, the 1 1/3 mile long strip can and should be used as a transit parkway. Transit on the ROW is currently undergoing Environmental Review. Second, the ROW provides a place to clean Ballona Creek, as has been legally mandated. Ballona Creek’s “tributaries” (storm drains carrying Stone Canyon Creek, urban runoff and storm water) cross the ROW, where they can be filtered while irrigating and replenishing groundwater. Third, the ROW has ample space for recreation. Bicycle and walking paths could pass under Westwood Boulevard and Overland Avenue – along with the waterway – and the paths could connect to Palms Park, Palms Child Care Center and Palms Recreation Center, as well as the adjacent Palms-Rancho Park Library. Fourth, the water feature within the park would attract native plants, butterflies and birds, and provide a rich outdoor education laboratory for Overland Elementary School and others. Our mass transit agencies and our water stewards are committed to public spaces and to environmental responsibility. The Exposition Right of Way offers a chance to reach their goals efficiently by combining public projects.

  • Effects of Left Turn Treatments on Intersection Safety Azadeh Azad1 and Emelinda Parentela2
    Effects of Left Turn Treatments on Intersection Safety Azadeh Azad1 and Emelinda Parentela2 Abstract Road fatalities represent a major engineering and public health concern. In the United States of America, intersections are the locations with the highest number of motor vehicle crashes, with over 2.3 million intersection-related crashes occurring in 2008. These accidents resulted in more than 7,770 fatalities and around 733,000 injury crashes (NHTSA, 2008). Factors such as geometric design, sight distance, traffic control, vehicle speed, traffic volume and the percentage of turning vehicles influence intersection safety. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the type of left-turn control and its impact on safety at signalized intersections. The number of accidents is correlated with the type of left-turn control, speed, number of lanes, and other variables using data from selected intersections from a city in Southern California. Left turning movements at signalized intersection may operate under protective, permissive, or protective plus permissive controls. Selection of the type of left-turn protection is normally based on the volumes of left–turning vehicles, cross product of left-turning movements and opposing flow, intersection geometry, speed, and accident history. While protective control is deemed the safest and most desirable, the increasing traffic demand on roadways has seen an increase in the use of protective plus permissive control. Protective plus permissive control provides exclusive phase for left turn movement, and allows left turn movements when there is sufficient gaps between left turning vehicles and opposing through traffic. Protective plus permissive control may improve traffic flow, however, it has been documented that this type of control causes driver’s confusion and compromises safety.

  • Traffic Calming Policy a Procedural Guide to Neighborhood Traffic Management
    City of Whittier Traffic Calming Policy A Procedural Guide to Neighborhood Traffic Management Public Works Department 13230 Penn Street, Whittier, California 90602-1772 (562) 567-9500 February 20, 2001 (Established) April 26, 2005 (Revised) O:\Templates\Traffic Engineering Forms\TRAFFIC CALMING POLICY (Adopted 4-26-05).doc- 1 - Questions To Be Answered This report presents a Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program aimed at making existing residential streets more livable by reducing traffic speed and volume. The pertinent questions are: 1. Which neighborhood or neighborhoods have the most immediate and correctable traffic concerns? 2. How can the City identify which neighborhood(s) should receive immediate attention? 3. What are the processes to be followed by the public and staff in recommending and deploying traffic calming technique(s)? 4. How should the implementation and maintenance phases be funded? 5. What monitoring method(s) should be used to measure the long-term effectiveness of the deployed traffic calming technique(s)? These five questions are the basis for the formation of the Whittier’s Traffic Calming Policy. Introduction The City of Whittier is nestled on the southern slope of Puente Hills and bordered by three (3) major interstate freeways: Interstate 605, Interstate 5, and the Pomona (State Route 60) Freeway. The backbone of the City’s roadway network is the arterial system consisting of Colima Road, Whittier Boulevard, Lambert Road, Painter Avenue, Beverly Boulevard and Norwalk Boulevard. These roadways provide access to motorists between the freeways and the local street system. As a result of the continuing growth in this region, the surrounding freeways and some of the City’s arterials have been experiencing an increase in congestion.

  • ANALYSIS of EXISTING CONDITIONS a Subregional View Of
    ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A subregional view of travel on the Westside has been drawn from interviews with elected officials, meetings with MTA and other agencies and analysis of existing data. The subregion considered in this analysis is shown in Figure 1. Because transportation does not respect political boundaries, the Westside Mobility Study area is roughly all of Los Angeles County west of La Brea Avenue, north of Los Angeles International Airport and south of Mulholland Drive. The Westside has many of the most important activity centers in all of Southern California; 16 of these are shown in Figure 2. The Westside Mobility Study has begun to define what might be done to meet those needs for improved linkages, specifying the most critical locations for major transit improvements and other multimodal improvements. Evaluation of Existing Transportation Conditions A goal of the Westside Mobility Study is to provide an accurate picture of the existing traffic and congestion levels on primary arterials and corridors in the Westside area. As there was a large amount of readily available, current data, no new supplementary traffic counts were conducted. Data was acquired from the following sources and ranges predominantly from 2000 to the present day: · Traffic data from the Cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood · Transit data from Culver City Bus, Big Blue Bus and MTA · Information from MTA’s Short Range Transportation Plan: Technical Document · Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) database of traffic counts · Previous Kaku Associates projects · Caltrans counts 10 WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 1 STUDY AREA Multi-purpose Activity Centers WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 2 MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS Area Characteristics - Employment, Population and Housing: The Westside area has at least 10% of the jobs in Los Angeles County and is home to over 6% of County residents.
