Venice Boulevard Great Street VENICE BOULEVARD GREAT STREET ONE-YEAR POST-PROJECT EVALUATION DECEMBER 2018 WHAT IS THE GREAT STREETS INITIATIVE? In Los Angeles, streets are our largest public asset— covering over 18% of our land mass. Mayor Eric Garcetti launched the Great Streets Initiative as his first Executive Directive in 2013 to help reimagine neighborhood centers, one main street at a time. Our streets are the backbone of our neighborhoods—the places where we live, work, learn, and recreate on a daily basis. All of our great neighborhoods deserve Great Streets that are safe, livable, accessible, and engaging public spaces for people. After a collaborative process including the Mayor’s Office, City Council staff, Los Angeles City staff, and a technical committee, a Great Street in each of Los Angeles’ 15 City Council districts was identified as our first 15 corridors. These were selected for a variety of reasons, including potential for positive change, existing community partnerships, projects and programs, opportunities to leverage other resources, and demonstrated need. In partnership with a team of diverse stakeholders, the City started work in these corridors—prioritizing resources, coordinating interdepartmental improvements, and empowering community members in Great Streets neighborhoods to realize their visions for the future. On September 20, 2016, the City launched the Great Streets Challenge that was open to any street in the City! 2 WHAT IS THE IPROVED ACCESS OBILITY GREAT Are we able to access destinations that matter the most to us in a safe and STREETS convenient manner?

The extensive two-year outreach process revealed the desire for a project that would support and strengthen the corridor, provide a downtown feel to Venice Boulevard, promote the growth of local business, and provide safety for all modes of travel. In May 2017, LADOT completed a number of safety improvements to the Great Street. This included a series of permanent improvements such as four new signals and crossings, high-visibility crosswalks, and pedestrian head start signals. LADOT also used paint, signs, and other low-cost temporary materials to test the operation and reception of new roadway design features—lane reductions throughout the Great Street, protected and buffered bicycle lanes, and right turn lanes at certain intersections.

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.

    INTO THE HEART OF SCREENLAND CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA AN INEXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION OF URBAN CONTENT THE CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION CENTER E FO H R T L A N N O I D T U A S T E RE INTERP THE HEART OF SCREENLAND “The Heart of Screenland” is the official city motto for Culver City, an incorporated city of 40,000 people in the midst of the megalopolis of Los Angeles. “All roads lead to Culver City,” its founder, Harry Culver, once said. All roads indeed. Culver built the city from scratch starting in 1913, selecting a location that was halfway between downtown Los Angeles and the beach community of Venice, at the crossroads of a now long-gone regional public trolley system. Culver City quickly became home to several movie studios, some of which disappeared, others which still dominate the scene. Hal Roach’s Laurel and Hardy comedies, shot on Main Street, captured the town in the 1920s, and Andy Griffith’s everytown of Mayberry was broadcast from the city’s backlots to screens across America. In the 1950s, the city modernized. Its original Main Street was upstaged by a new Culver Center shopping area, a few blocks west. The studios turned to television, and the 1950s became the 1960s. In the 1970s the studio backlots were filled in with housing and office parks, as homogenization flooded the Los Angeles basin, turning Culver CIty into part of the continuous urban suburb. In the 1990s, the city’s efforts to restore its identity and its downtown Into the Heart of Screenland: Culver City, California An Inexhaustive Investigation of Urban Content came together, beginning a rebirth of the Heart of Screenland.

    MANHATTAN INSTITUTE CENTER FORTHE RETHINKING DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Hope Cohen 2008 er B ecem D THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design Hope Cohen Deputy Director Center for Rethinking Development Manhattan Institute In 1879, the remarkable thing about Edison’s new lightbulb was that it didn’t burst into flames as soon as it was lit. That disposed of the first key problem of the electrical age: how to confine and tame electricity to the point where it could be usefully integrated into offices, homes, and every corner of daily life. Edison then designed and built six twenty-seven-ton, hundred-kilowatt “Jumbo” Engine-Driven Dynamos, deployed them in lower Manhattan, and the rest is history. “We will make electric light so cheap,” Edison promised, “that only the rich will be able to burn candles.” There was more taming to come first, however. An electrical fire caused by faulty wiring seriously FOREWORD damaged the library at one of Edison’s early installations—J. P. Morgan’s Madison Avenue brownstone. Fast-forward to the massive blackout of August 2003. Batteries and standby generators kicked in to keep trading alive on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. But the Amex failed to open—it had backup generators for the trading-floor computers but depended on Consolidated Edison to cool them, so that they wouldn’t melt into puddles of silicon. Banks kept their ATM-control computers running at their central offices, but most of the ATMs themselves went dead. Cell-phone service deteriorated fast, because soaring call volumes quickly drained the cell- tower backup batteries.

  • Federal Pacific Electric Panels
    Federal Pacific Electric Panels Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels do not meet today’s current safety code standards. The Consumer Product Safety Fact: There are millions of Federal Commission (CPSC) found that the material used to make Pacific circuit breaker panels the breakers is sub-standard, which may prevent a breaker currently being used in the U.S. from effectively working. Thus, FPE breakers present a high risk for an electrical fire. Due to lack of funding the CPSC Thousands of these electrical was unsuccessful in continuing their investigation to obtain panels lead to electrical fires each enough information to recall the FPE panel, which allowed the defective panels to be placed in millions of homes and year. businesses. The solution to preventing an electrical fire is to replace FPE panels. Do you want to gamble with inadequate fire protection? How is an electrical panel supposed to work? • An electrical panel includes bus bars, which conduct a major current of electricity from incoming feeders. • Circuit breakers connect to bus bars and safely distribute electricity throughout the facility. • Each circuit breaker protects the electric current flowing to a specific appliance or outlet. • The circuit breaker will trip (shut off) the flow of electricity if it senses that the current is overloaded or short-circuited. • When a circuit breaker trips, it prevents the wiring from overheating and starting an electrical fire. Why are Federal Pacific Electric panels so dangerous? • FPE panels are known to be overcrowded with wires. • Bus bars for several of the panels are spring mounted which can cause unstable connections.
