Mitigation measures and the significance of impacts after 6 mitigation also are described. 7 The transportation analysis includes eight freeway/roadway segments and 34 key 8 intersections that would be used by truck and automobile traffic to gain access to and 9 from the PMPU area. These include the nearest Congestion Management Program 10 (CMP) monitoring stations, assessed in conformance with Los Angeles County 11 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) CMP guidelines (LACMTA 2010). 12 3.12.2 Environmental Setting 13 3.12.2.1 Ground Transportation 14 The PMPU serves as a long-range plan to establish policies and guidelines for future 15 development within the coastal zone boundary of the Port. In general, the PMPU area is 16 bounded by the community of Wilmington to the north, lands surrounding the 17 Consolidated Slip to the northeast, lands surrounding the Cerritos Channel and City of 18 Los Angeles boundary to the east, Los Angeles Harbor to the south, and the community 19 of San Pedro to the west. 20 Access to and from the Port is provided by a network of freeways and arterial routes, 21 as shown on Figure 3.12-1. The freeway network consists of the Artesia Freeway 22 (State route [SR]-91), Harbor Freeway (I-110), Long Beach Freeway (I-710), San 23 Diego Freeway (I-405), and the Terminal Island Freeway (SR-103/ SR-47).

Circulation Element 4. Circulation Element Introduction The circulation system is one of the most important of all urban systems in determining the form and quality of the El Segundo environment. The circulation modes used, location of routes, operational policies and the operating levels of service influence the nature of urban development, the physical organization of the City, and can enhance or limit the social and economic activity within the City. Purpose and Authority The purpose of the Circulation Element is to assist the City in providing a safe, convenient, and efficient circulation system. The Circulation Element identifies a system capable of responding to growth occurring consistent with the policies and Land Use Plan presented in the Land Use Element.

  • Ground Transportation
    1 Section 3.7 2 Ground Transportation 3 SECTION SUMMARY 4 This section describes existing ground transportation within the Port and surrounding area, and addresses 5 the potential impacts that could result from implementation of the proposed Project or an alternative. The 6 proposed Project would improve the container-handling efficiency of the existing YTI Terminal, and add 7 additional operational track to the TICTF, thereby increasing the throughput capacity of the terminal from 8 1,692,000 TEUs annually to 1,913,000 TEUs annually by 2026. The increase in capacity of the terminal 9 would increase truck trips and rail activity, thereby potentially increasing congestion on area roadways 10 and at rail crossings. 11 Section 3.7, Ground Transportation, provides the following: 12 . A description of existing levels of traffic in the Port area; 13 . a discussion on the methodology used to determine whether the proposed Project or 14 alternatives would result in an impact on ground transportation; 15 . an impact analysis of both the proposed Project and alternatives; and 16 . a description of any mitigation measures proposed to reduce any potential impacts, as 17 applicable. 18 Key Points of Section 3.7: 19 The proposed Project would make infrastructure improvements to an existing container terminal, and its 20 operations would be consistent with other uses and container terminals in the proposed Project area. The 21 alternatives evaluated included the No Project Alternative, the No Federal Action Alternative, and a 22 Reduced Project Alternative. The analysis determined that construction and operation of the proposed 23 Project or an alternative would not result in significant ground transportation impacts to roadways, rail, or 24 other modes of ground transportation under CEQA or NEPA, and that no mitigation would be required.

  • Access to Jobs and Workers Via Transit
    Access to Jobs and Workers via Transit A geospatial data resource from U.S. EPA’s Office of Sustainable Communities Technical Documentation and Data User Guide First released: March 19, 2014 Last Updated: March 19, 2014 Authors: Kevin Ramsey, Ph.D.1 U.S. EPA Office of Sustainable Communities & Alexander Bell, AICP Renaissance Planning Group 1 In late March 2014 Kevin Ramsey will be leaving EPA for a new position with BERK. Questions about the status of this dataset can be sent to Ted Cochin ([email protected]). 1 Summary Access to Jobs and Workers via Transit is a free geospatial data resource and web mapping tool for comparing the performance of neighborhoods in regards to their accessibility to destinations via public transit service. Using publically available transit service data we calculated – for each U.S. census block group – travel time to all other census block groups accessible via transit. Drawing on data from the census we tabulated how many people live and work in those accessible block groups. We combined these data to summarize several indicators of transit accessibility for individual block groups as well as regional benchmarks for comparison. Travel time is limited to 45 minutes and is inclusive of wait times, transfers, and walking to/from transit stops. Coverage is limited to metropolitan regions and counties served by transit agencies that publically share their service data in a standard format called GTFS. A full listing of those areas is included as appendix to this report. Figure 1 displays one variable from this dataset for the Washington DC metropolitan region.
