ITEM 6 – PRESENTATION BY LACMTA DIRECTOR DIANE DUBOIS PROVIDING UPDATE ON THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, GATEWAY CITIES COG, LOSSAN AND ECO-RAPID TRANSIT City of Downey, Mayor Pro Tem and Board Chair, Luis H. Marquez introduced Ms. Diane DuBois, Councilmember from the City of Lakewood and MTA Director. Last year, she was the Chairperson of LACMTA. Ms. DuBois provided the Board with an overview of Measure R funded transportation projects. The actual revenues generated by Measure R have not met initial projections and therefore some projects are underfunded. Eco-Rapid Transit is one of the underfunded projects and is being evaluated by Metro. Some thought is being given to sponsoring a new transportation tax initiative for 2016. Notwithstanding the current funding status of Eco-Rapid Transit, Ms. DuBois reiterated Metro’s commitment to the Eco-Rapid Transit project. Ms. DuBois mentioned that during her tenure as Chair, two full-funding agreements were executed providing $3 billion for transit in Los Angeles County. A third funding agreement is being negotiated. Ms. DuBois said that while members of Gateway Cities COG won’t get everything it requested, her role as a Director is to ensure that the process is fair and equitable. City of Paramount, Councilmember Gene Daniels asked if there was a chance that new projects would be authorized and have priority over previously approved projects. Ms. DuBois stated that this occurred in the past and she will ensure it doesn’t happen again. City of South Gate Councilmember Maria Davila asked if Eco-Rapid Transit would benefit from the $3 billion in federal funding. Ms. DuBois replied that the funding agreements were for specific projects that are ready for implementation; such as the Purple Line and the Regional Connector. City of Downey, Mayor Pro Tem and Board Chair, Luis H. Marquez honored Ms. DuBois with a plaque from Eco-Rapid Transit in recognition for her support for Eco-Rapid Transit and the Gateway Cities COG.

  • 3-4 Community Facilities and Services
    Environmental Evaluation 3-4 COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES Changes Since the Draft EIS/EIR Subsequent to the release of the Draft EIS/EIR in April 2004, the Gold Line Phase II project has undergone several updates: Name Change: To avoid confusion expressed about the terminology used in the Draft EIS/EIR (e.g., Phase I; Phase II, Segments 1 and 2), the proposed project is referred to in the Final EIS/EIR as the Gold Line Foothill Extension. Selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative and Updated Project Definition: Following the release of the Draft EIS/EIR, the public comment period, and input from the cities along the alignment, the Construction Authority Board approved a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in August 2004. This LPA included the Triple Track Alternative (2 LRT and 1 freight track) that was defined and evaluated in the Draft EIS/EIR, a station in each city, and the location of the Maintenance and Operations Facility. Segment 1 was changed to extend eastward to Azusa. A Project Definition Report (PDR) was prepared to define refined station and parking lot locations, grade crossings and two rail grade separations, and traction power substation locations. The Final EIS/EIR and engineering work that support the Final EIS/EIR are based on the project as identified in the Final PDR (March 2005), with the following modifications. Following the PDR, the Construction Authority Board approved a Revised LPA in June 2005. Between March and August 2005, station options in Arcadia and Claremont were added. Changes in the Discussions: To make the Final EIS/EIR more reader-friendly, the following format and text changes have been made: Discussion of a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative has been deleted since the LPA decision in August 2004 eliminated it as a potential preferred alternative.
