SOUTHERN CALIFO).N1A RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT 1060 South Broadway, Los Angeles, California 90015 RTD-1 exists; and to operate a surface transit system which pro- vides more than three-quarters of the bus service within the District as well as bus service in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. The District, in all of its efforts, has worked in close cooperation with local, state and federal governmental agencies to insure the development of the best possible public transportation system for the metropolitan area. THE RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT The Southern California Rapid Transit District was cre- ated in 1964 by an act of the California State Legislature. It is the public agency charged with the responsibility of providing most of the existing public transportation in Los Angeles County and planning, constructing and oper- ating a mass rapid transit system for the community. District boundaries coincide with those of Los Angeles PREFACE County, except for the exclusion of the Antelope Valley, much of Angeles National Forest and the offshore islands. All bus operating expenses, equipment replacement and debt service on outstanding revenue bonds are met solely from operating revenues. The District has no power to levy taxes for such purposes. The Legislature has empowered the District to levy a property tax for rapid transit construction after approval by 60 percent of the electorate voting on the ballot This is the Final Report on a rapid transit rail-bus sys- proposition. Additional legislation will be required to tem from the Southern California Rapid Transit District provide the public with any alternate method of financing to the cities of the District, to the County of Los Angeles rapid transit construction, such as a general sales tax. and to the citizens of the District for whose benefit the with engineer proposed system has been planned and designed.

APPOINTMENT OF SCRTD DIRECTORS The Directors are appointed as follows: five by the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County, of whom one must reside in each supervisorial district; two by the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles subject to confirmation by the City Council, both of whom must reside in the City of Los Angeles; and four by a City Selection Committee representing all cities in the District except Los Angeles, each of whom must reside in a different city and none of whom may reside in the City of Los Angeles RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT LAW In establishing the District, the Legislature provided that the District proceed at once with rapid transit planning and preliminary engineering and that the results of this program be submitted to the community in a Preliminary Report, and that a Final Report be submitted after com- munity views and desires were received and considered.

A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. Secret tunnels are built for military purposes, or by civilians for smuggling of weapons, contraband, or people. Special tunnels, such aswildlife crossings, are built to allow wildlife to cross human-made barriers safely.

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.
