Parsons Company Identifier/Call Number: 03-DPGTL Physical Description: 6.34 linear feet, 11 boxes Date (inclusive): 1987-1992 Date (bulk): 1988-1990 Abstract: The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority collection of Metro Red Line construction progress photographs consists of photos, 35mm negatives, contact sheets, proof approval sheets, correspondence, cassette tapes, and video cassette tapes transferred from the construction company to the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) and the Rail Construction Corporation by construction company Ralph M. Parsons Corp., Deleuw, Cather & Co. and Dillingham Corporation (PDCD). The material in this collection was created between the years 1987 and 1992 when the first segment of the Red Line was being built. Physical Location: LACMTA Research Library and Archive Biographical / Historical SCRTD was created on August 22, 1964 to serve the urbanized Southern California region, including Los Angeles County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, and Riverside County, replacing LAMTA and ten different private bus companies in the Southern California region. SCRTD was placed in charge of creating a heavy rail public transportation system for Southern California, and for planning for bus improvements. In 1980 voters passed Proposition A, a half-cent sales tax for a regional transit system; the measure succeeded after similar proposals in 1968 and 1974 had failed. The map that accompanied Proposition A showed ten transit corridors with the Wilshire subway line the "cornerstone" of the system. Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn was one of the key supporters of Proposition A, declaring, "I'm going to put the trains back." Hahn ensured that his South Los Angeles district received the first dollars for a light-rail line on the old Long Beach Red Car route from Los Angeles to Long Beach (Metro Blue Line), after seeing the success of the San Diego Trolley. On September 11, 1985, Congressman Waxman added an amendment to that year's Federal Transportation Budget removing all subway construction funds, citing safety concerns after an unrelated methane explosion in the Fairfax District. By 1986, thanks in part to last minute lobbying by SCRTD president Nick Patsaouras, compromise was reached between Waxman and Representative Julian Dixon. The deal allowed funding as long as service did not pass through the Wilshire corridor. With a Wilshire corridor alignment prohibited, the Red Line was re-prioritized and routed north up Vermont Avenue (the next highest projected ridership corridor) to Hollywood Boulevard. Because of the change in alignment, there is now a 1-mile stub on Wilshire Boulevard between Vermont and Western Avenues. Acquisition Information Material held by SCRTD and the Rail Construction Corporation was passed on to LACMTA after the 1993 merger. Custodial History The photographs in this collection were created by PDCD and were transferred to the SCRTD and the RCC. After California State Legislation passed to create the LACMTA, all construction records were passed to the LACMTA. These records were stored in accordance to the LACMTA's record retention schedule. Once the retention period passed, the records in this collection were brought to the Library and Archive to either be retained permanently or scheduled for destruction. Accruals Further accruals expected. Processing Information Processed by Denise Villegas, 2013. Conditions Governing Access Open for research. Collection partially stored off-site.

  • Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards
    Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards HSB, part of Munich Re, is a What is the best course of action when discovered? technology-driven company built on a foundation of specialty insurance, engineering and technology, all Federal Pacific Electric Company (FPE) manufactured many electrical products working together to drive innovation while in business including a panelboard and breaker line called Stab-Lok. The in a modern world. Stab-Lok products are no longer manufactured, but millions had been installed in residential and commercial buildings between 1950 and 1985. The purpose of the breaker is to protect the building from fire in the event of an electrical circuit abnormality. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigated many reports in 1982 of Stab-Lok breakers failing to trip as required by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) testing standards. The CPSC did not have the funding to further investigate this problem or arrive at a definitive conclusion. Tests by the CPSC and independent consulting engineers concluded that certain Stab-Lok breakers do not trip according to UL requirements and in some cases, can jam in the “on” position. In addition, overheating problems have been found within the panelboard internal bus connections. Unfortunately, this information surfaced after many Stab-Lokinstallations were completed and had been in service for years. In 2002, a New Jersey class-action lawsuit decided that the manufacturer of the Stab-Lok breakers committed fraud over many years in issuing UL labels to products they knew did not meet the UL testing requirements. HSB Page 2/2 Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Breakers and Panelboards The National Electrical Code requires that all installed products must be listed and labeled by an independent testing agency to be acceptable for the intended use.

  • A Study on Connectivity and Accessibility Between Tram Stops and Public Facilities: a Case Study in the Historic Cities of Europe
    Urban Street Design & Planning 73 A study on connectivity and accessibility between tram stops and public facilities: a case study in the historic cities of Europe Y. Kitao1 & K. Hirano2 1Kyoto Women’s University, Japan 2Kei Atelier, Yame, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract The purpose of this paper is to understand urban structures in terms of tram networks by using the examples of historic cities in Europe. We have incorporated the concept of interconnectivity and accessibility between public facilities and tram stops to examine how European cities, which have built world class public transportation systems, use the tram network in relationship to their public facilities. We selected western European tram-type cities which have a bus system, but no subway system, and we focused on 24 historic cities with populations from 100,000 to 200,000, which is the optimum size for a large-scale community. In order to analyze the relationship, we mapped the ‘pedestrian accessible area’ from any tram station in the city, and analyzed how many public facilities and pedestrian streets were in this area. As a result, we were able to compare the urban space structures of these cities in terms of the accessibility and connectivity between their tram stops and their public facilities. Thus we could understand the features which determined the relationship between urban space and urban facilities. This enabled us to evaluate which of our target cities was the most pedestrian orientated city. Finally, we were able to define five categories of tram-type cities. These findings have provided us with a means to recognize the urban space structure of a city, which will help us to improve city planning in Japan.
