If it were a city, the San Gabriel Valley would be one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, according to most recent census data. Its trading ties with the Pacific Rim and Central and South America are supported by the area’s strategic location and access to transportation. The San Gabriel Valley is of close proximity to Southern California’s destination areas - one hour from the ocean, one from the mountains, and one hour from the desert. Freeways Three east-west (210, 10, 60) and three north/south (57, 605, 710) freeways serve the 400 square miles of the San Gabriel Valley. The Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) is located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and links Southern California’s Inland Empire through Downtown Los Angeles into the San Fer- nando Valley. The San Bernardino Freeway’s (Interstate 10) western terminus is located in East Los Angeles and runs through the San Gabriel Valley into Southern California’s Inland Empire. At the west end of the San Bernardino Freeway, the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) continues up to Pacific Coast Highway. Interstate 10 is also one of the three coast-to-coast Interstates linking states from California to Florida. The Pomona Freeway (State Route 60)is located at the southern end of the San Gabriel Valley, the Pomona Freeway runs from East Los Angeles to Southern California’s Inland Empire. Route 60 is also a major trans- portation corridor for container trucks traveling from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to shipping yards in the San Gabriel Valley, Inland Empire and other areas within the United States. The Long Beach Freeway (Interstate 710) is within a few hundred feet of the Los Angeles River, which it runs along, from Alhambra to Long Beach. The San Gabriel River Freeway (Interstate 605)runs parallel to the San Gabriel River, from the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Duarte to Seal Beach. The Orange Freeway (State Route 57) runs from the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in Glendora into Or- ange County. The Chino Valley Freeway (State Route 71)runs from Pomona to Corona in Riverside County. Freight Rail Three major freight lines cross the San Gabriel Valley, providing direct linkage from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — the two largest container terminals in the nation. A multi-billion-dollar grade-sepa- ration rail project known as the Alameda Corridor will expedite the flow of goods by truck and train be- tween these harbors and the container yards on the western edge of the Valley. The region also offers two Metrolink commuter trains that traverse the region from east to west. FOR SALE High-Profile Re-Development or Ground Lease Opportunity AREA OVERVIEW Business Climate Within the San Gabriel Valley’s 400 square miles, 31 cities and 5 unincorporated communities, the right environment for business can be found--as well as the resources to help business move in, get started and grow. In addition to the 69,021 small and medium-sized business establishments that form the basis of the Valley’s business community, numerous Fortune 500 companies have major offices or plants in the San Gabriel Valley: Miller Brewing Company, Edison International, Avery Dennison and many others. Strong corporations headquartered in the San Gabriel Valley include Southern California Edison, Kaiser Perma- nente, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cathay Bank, Majestic Realty Co., Ready Pac Produce, East West Bank, Trader Joe’s and Huy Fong Foods. International Business The wholesale sector is one of the San Gabriel Valley’s biggest industry categories, representing 24 percent of Valley businesses in 2010. A San Gabriel Valley Foreign Trade Zone has been established to make it easier and more cost effective for local businesses to participate in international trade. International Trade in the San Gabriel Valley Located at the very heart of Southern California - the focal point of the country’s international trade activity - the San Gabriel Valley is at the heart of the region’s dynamic transportation infrastructure giving its inter- national traders access to the world through an integrated network of ocean, rail and highway connections to points across the globe. The nearby ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the nation’s two busiest container ports and connect with the Valley via the Alameda Corridor, which expe-

  • **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Be
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 For Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Beginning the week of August 21, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic. A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving commuters between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.” WHAT The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close one lane of the eastbound Foothill Freeway (1-210) from Ocean View Boulevard to Lincoln Avenue as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.

  • Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of This Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California
    Barbara Bogo FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oldcastle Precast MARCH 2017 (888) 965‐3227 [email protected] Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of this Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California PASADENA, Calif. (MARCH 2017) – Precast concrete highway pavement slabs are increasing in popularity for use in rapid highway construction. This is, in part, the result of many state departments of transportation recognizing the efficiency of the precast slab method and selecting it for use on an increasing number of state projects. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has specified precast concrete pavement slabs for one of the largest projects of this type in North America, the Pavement and Slab Replacement Project on the Foothill Freeway (I‐ 210). This transportation project, approximately 12 miles north of Los Angeles, begins at the Dunsmore Avenue undercrossing in La Crescenta‐Montrose and extends to the North Los Robles Avenue overcrossing in Pasadena. Flatiron West of Chino Hills, California, has appointed Oldcastle Precast of Fontana, California to supply several thousand precast highway pavement slabs for this $148 million project. As a national precaster who has embraced this technology, Oldcastle Precast, a leading provider of engineered building product solutions for North American infrastructure projects, received the contract to manufacture 6,500 precast concrete pavement slabs. Each slab measures 12.5‐foot ‐wide by 11.33‐foot‐ long by 12‐inch‐thick, for the 9.7‐mile segment of I‐210, and will be used to replace sections, that have undergone erosion and deterioration due to years of exposure to heavy traffic. Site installation of the pavement slabs is occurring as an overnight process.

  • “FINISHED” Freeway and Expressway Revolts Excerpt from Wikipedia
    FREEWAYS DO NOT NEED TO BE “FINISHED” Freeway and expressway revolts Excerpt from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeway_and_expressway_revolts The freeway revolts (sometimes expressway revolts) were a phenomenon encountered in developed countries in the 1960s and 1970s, in which planned freeway construction in many cities was halted due to widespread public opposition; especially of those whose neighborhoods would be disrupted or displaced by the proposed freeways, and due to various other negative effects that freeways are considered to have. Such "revolts" occurred mainly in American cities, such as Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Memphis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In many cities, there remain unused highways, abruptly-terminating freeway alignments, and short stretches of freeway in the middle of nowhere, all of which are evidence of larger projects which were never completed. In Canada, similar revolts occurred in Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax, and Montreal. Road protest in the United Kingdom occurred since the 1960s, and in Australia protests on a smaller scale occurred later in the 1970s. Background After World War II, there was a major drive to build a freeway network in the United States, including (but not limited to) the Interstate Highway System. Design and construction began in earnest in the 1950s, and many cities (as well as rural areas) were subjected to the bulldozer. However, many of the proposed freeway routes were drawn up without considering local interest; in many cases the construction of the freeway system was considered a regional (or national) issue which trumped local concerns.

  • 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Quality Draft EIR
    City of Azusa General Plan & Development Code 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Quality Draft EIR 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL QUALITY SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY This section evaluates the potential impacts to aesthetics and visual quality. Aesthetics refers to visual resources and the quality of what can be seen, or overall visual perception of the environment, and may include such elements as scenic values, visual character, new visible elements, and lighting. Areas of prime aesthetic value are found in the area’s scenic routes and open space, including the San Gabriel River, regional parks, and the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Sources utilized in the preparation of this section include aerial photographs, in-field visual assessments, and the City of Azusa’s Analysis of Existing Conditions and Trends report. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The San Gabriel Mountains The San Gabriel Mountains are the northern backdrop to Azusa. They are a tremendous landmark, a memorable visual presence of nature in the city and a key recreational resource. Historically, these mountains have been used by Azusa and surrounding cities as a watershed, feeding the entire region with water and providing sand and gravel for surface mining. The San Gabriel Mountains are a source of geographic and spiritual identity for Azusa. They provide an identifiable boundary to the City and generate the gentle topographic slope that qualifies Azusa as a Southern California foothill community. Residents, visitors, hikers, bikers, and horseback riders alike appreciate the aesthetic value of the foothills of Azusa. The Local Scenic Roads provide panoramic views of the Azusa hillsides and the San Gabriel Mountains including Mt.

    Target Store Redevelopment Project 3.0 Project Description Draft EIR 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 INTRODUCTION This section presents the description of the proposed Target Store Redevelopment Project (proposed project), the objectives of the proposed project, a description of the existing conditions on the project site, a description of surrounding land uses, and an estimated timeline for construction of the proposed project. 3.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES In accordance with Section 15124 of the State CEQA Guidelines, EIRs shall include a description of the proposed project, including a statement of objectives sought by the proposed project. A description of the project’s objectives defines the project’s intent and facilitates the formation of project alternatives. Specifically, Section 15124 (b) of the State CEQA Guidelines states the following requirement: “A statement of the objectives sought by the proposed project. A clearly written statement of objectives will help the lead agency develop a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in the EIR and will aid the decision makers in preparing findings or a statement of overriding considerations, if necessary. The statement of objectives should include the underlying purpose of the project.” The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa (Agency) and the project applicant (Target Corporation) have stated that the proposed project would function as an economic catalyst for the City in its effort to increase employment, business, and investment opportunities in the downtown Azusa area. The proposed project would contribute to this effort by offering residents a wide variety of goods and services in a convenient location in downtown Azusa and near the future Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Gold Line Foothill Extension, which is strategically situated south of and adjacent to the project site.

    Chapter 3—Environmental Analysis, Impacts, and Mitigation 3.13 VISUAL QUALITY 3.13.1 Regulatory Setting 3.13.1.1 State and Regional California Environmental Quality Act California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies to any project that would result in a physical change of the Study Area, including alteration of land use, air quality, noise or views. With regard to views and visual quality, CEQA specifically provides for the “…enjoyment of aesthetic, natural, scenic, and historic environmental qualities…” (Section 21001[b]). California Scenic Highway Program (Senate Bill 1467, Streets and Highways Code Sections 260 to 263) The California Scenic Highway Program protects and enhances the scenic beauty of the State’s highway system. The program helps to identify portions of the State highway system that require special conservation treatments. Preservation includes adjacent scenic corridors and associated visible natural features. Therefore, any project that may affect the scenic value of an identified scenic corridor is required to consider the provisions of the Program. Preservation includes highways that are designated as scenic and listed as eligible to become State scenic highways. 3.13.1.2 Local The Study Area includes portions of six local jurisdictions: the Cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont, and Montclair, and a small island portion of unincorporated Los Angeles County. There are no unincorporated lands within or adjacent to the alignment in San Bernardino County. Of these, Los Angeles County and the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, and Claremont have policies related to visual resources that are directly applicable to the project. The City of Montclair identifies local mountain ridgelines as the community’s key visual resources but has not outlined any governing aesthetics-related policies.
