Plans for the region’s freeway system began in the 1920s and the first free- way (the Arroyo Seco Parkway, now the Pasadena Freeway) opened on New Year’s Eve 1939. The network of freeways grew most significantly during the 1940s and 1950s and, by 1968, the city of Los Angeles alone contained 138 miles of freeways.

  • IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Cultural Resources 1. Introduction This section of the Draft EIR focuses on the proposed Project’s impacts on cultural historic resources, including historic, archaeological and paleontological resources. The analysis of historic resources is based on the Historic Resources Evaluation for the University Park Campus Development Plan (USC Development Plan) prepared by Architectural Resources Group (December 2009) and the Supplemental Historic Resources report prepared by Historic Resources Group (May 2010). These reports are included as Appendix C of this Draft EIR, and are herein incorporated by reference. In addition, the analysis of potential impacts on archaeological and paleontological resources is based on records searches that were conducted as well as review of existing conditions within the site. 2. Environmental Setting a. Regulatory Framework (1) Historical Resources Several levels of government contain historic resources within their jurisdictions. The framework for the identification and, in certain instances, protection of historic resources is established at the Federal level, while the identification, documentation, and protection of such resources are often undertaken by state and local governments. The principle federal, state, and local laws governing and influencing the preservation of historic resources of national, state, regional, and local significance include the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended; the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); the California Register of Historical Resources; Public Resources Code (PRC) 5024; and the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance (Los Angeles Administrative Code, Section 22.130).

    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis J.4 Public Services – Parks and Recreation 1. Introduction This section addresses the proposed Project’s potential impacts on the public parks and recreation facilities administered by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP). The analysis identifies and describes the existing parks and recreation facilities in the Project vicinity and focuses on whether existing facilities are sufficient to accommodate the growth that could be potentially generated by the Project. The analysis also evaluates the proposed Project’s consistency with applicable City goals and regulatory requirements that address parks and recreation. 2. Environmental Setting a. Existing Conditions (1) City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks DRP is responsible for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of parks and recreational facilities in the City. Currently, the DRP operates and maintains 15,710 acres of parkland with 390 parks, nine lakes, 176 recreation centers, 372 children’s play areas, 13 golf courses, 287 tennis courts, 9 dog parks, 59 swimming pools, and 7 skate parks. Nearly 13,000 acres of parkland are located in “Regional Parks” (more than 50 acres in size). The City conservatively omits regional parks from its park-to-population ratio because these parks are not distributed evenly across all areas of the City. The DRP also provides other recreational services including senior activities, meal programs, afterschool and day care for children, teen clubs, as well as basketball, volleyball, softball and flag football games and leagues. Table IV.J-21 on page IV.J-91 shows the 2008 inventory of parkland in the City.

Dear USC Viterbi SHINE Students and Families, Congratulations to each SHINE student on joining the University of Southern California Viterbi SHINE Program, running June 18 – August 3, 2018! As part of the hands-on research team of a faculty member of USC Viterbi School of Engineering, the SHINE students have the unique opportunity to participate in research projects varying from Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering, Materials Sciences and Robotics. We believe the SHINE program to be a productive experience in shaping each student’s future studies and research. SHINE alumni have been admitted to engineering programs at prestigious universities (including USC) because SHINE students are a uniquely passionate and ambitious group of students and gain extraordinary self- identity as researchers during SHINE. The following pages will provide answers to many of the questions you may have about transportation, public safety and dining. We hope you find these pages to be helpful and welcome you to contact us with any additional questions.
