  • Chapter IV TRANSPORTATION and CIRCULATION
    Chapter IV TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION Central City is bordered by a "freeway ring" formed by the Harbor Freeway (Interstate 110) to the west, the Hollywood Freeway (US 101) to the north, the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) to the east, and the Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) to the south. In addition to the freeway ring, five other freeway corridors provide regional access to the downtown area: the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5), the Glendale Freeway (State Route 2), the Pasadena Freeway (State Route 110), the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10) and the Pomona Freeway (State Route 60). The Downtown roadway system is basically a grid network of streets which has remained unchanged for decades. The majority of the changes that have occurred on these streets have been to convert some segments into one-way operation. Several streets also serve a regional function by providing access to the adjacent freeway system. These include Hope Street, Grand Avenue, Broadway, and Spring Street in the north-south direction and Third Street, Fourth Street, Fifth Street, Sixth Street, Eighth Street, and Ninth Street in the east west direction. Significant congestion occurs on the regional transportation network due to the combined impacts of trip demands within Central City as well as regional trips that pass through Central City. In fact, more than half of downtown freeway traffic is through traffic. Pedestrian circulation in downtown Los Angeles takes place for the most part during the weekday business hours with the heaviest volumes during the lunch hours. Most of the pedestrian movement occurs between Bunker Hill, the Financial Core, and the Historic Core where daytime employment centers are located.

  • “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.

  • A Century of Fighting Traffic Congestion in Los Angeles 1920-2020
    A CENTURY OF FIGHTING TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN LOS ANGELES 1920-2020 BY MARTIN WACHS, PETER SEBASTIAN CHESNEY, AND YU HONG HWANG A Century of Fighting Traffic Congestion in Los Angeles 1920-2020 By Martin Wachs, Peter Sebastian Chesney, and Yu Hong Hwang September 2020 Preface “Understanding why traffic congestion matters is … not a matter of documenting real, observable conditions, but rather one of revealing shared cultural understandings.” Asha Weinstein1 The UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy was founded in 2017 through a generous gift from Meyer and Renee Luskin. It is focused on bringing historical knowledge to bear on today’s policy deliberations. Meyer Luskin stated that “The best way to choose the path to the future is to know the roads that brought us to the present.” This study is quite literally about roads that brought us to the present. The Los Angeles region is considering alternative forms of pricing roads in order to address its chronic congestion. This is a brief history of a century of effort to cope with traffic congestion, a perennial policy challenge in this region. The authors, like the Luskins, believe that the current public debate and ongoing technical studies should be informed by an understanding of the past. We do not duplicate technical or factual information about the current situation that is available elsewhere and under scrutiny by others. We also do not delve deeply into particular historical events or past policies. We hope this overview will be useful to lay people and policy practitioners participating in the public dialog about dynamic road pricing that will take place over the coming several years.
