  • I've Travelled a Lot on Amtrak Over the Years. At
    I’ve travelled a lot on Amtrak over the years. At one time or another I’d taken most of the major trains that head west: the California Zephyr, the Southwest Chief, and the Empire Builder. There was one branch of the Amtrak map, though, that I’d never taken. That was the Sunset Limited, the once grand old train that runs across the bottom of the country on the old Southern Pacific tracks. I’ve always wanted to take that train, and the wish would finally be granted on this trip. My main vacation in 2016 would take me to Los Angeles. I haven’t been to that city in a decade, yet when I stepped off the train platform at Union Station it seemed like I’d just been there yesterday. Everything was wonderfully familiar. L.A. is not a city I know really well (like Chicago), but it’s still a place that feels like home. It was good to get back there—to return to some old favorite places and to check out some things I hadn’t seen before. While our trip wouldn’t officially begin until tomorrow, I’m starting my re-cap today. My sister Margaret, who would accompany me on this vacation, came over to my place around 1:30pm. The bulk of the day was spent working with her laptop computer. She wanted to install Windows 10 on the machine before the free upgrade offer expired. When I upgraded my two computers a year ago, all the necessary programs downloaded in the background for days or weeks prior to the changeover.

  • Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans Community Workshop & Initial Concepts: Summary of Comments November and December 2017
    ORANGE LINE TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP & INITIAL CONCEPTS: SUMMARY OF COMMENTS NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2017 Executive Summary The Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans (TNP) project aims to develop land use, zoning, and design regulations for the neighborhoods surrounding five Metro Orange Line stations in the south San Fernando Valley: North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sepulveda, Reseda, and Sherman Way. The study area generally includes the corridors and some residential areas within a 15-minute walk or ½-mile radius of each station. During the first phase of the public planning process, in the first half of 2016, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning hosted four community workshops to identify opportunities to enhance neighborhoods surrounding transit stations, as well as several other small focus groups with specific stakeholder groups. Staff gathered input from the general public, including community residents, business owners, employees, transit users, and other participants about their thoughts, ideas, and concerns for the future of their neighborhood as it develops around transit, summarized here. Using the comments received through the first phase of outreach, in combination with station area context, existing City plans and policies, demographic analysis, and planning best practices, staff developed initial land use and zoning concepts for targeted changes in development rights and design regulations. These initial concepts were presented at two community workshops, on November 2, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m.at the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center in Tarzana, and on November 15, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Van Nuys City Hall. Following these meetings, materials were made available online and staff solicited additional comments through the end of December.
