    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.

  • Iv.K Transportation
    IV.K TRANSPORTATION 1. INTRODUCTION This section presents an overview of the existing traffic and circulation system in the proposed Wilshire and La Brea project area. It also discusses the potential impacts to traffic and circulation as a result of the implementation of the proposed project. This section summarizes the findings of the traffic analysis for the Wilshire and La Brea project, prepared by Overland Traffic Consultants in May 2007. A supplemental traffic assessment was prepared by Overland Traffic Consultants in May 2008 to evaluate changes to the design of the project. The supplemental traffic assessment determined that the amount of traffic generated by the project as currently proposed and evaluated in this draft EIR would be less than the amount generated by the project as originally designed and analyzed in the May 2007 Traffic Study. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) prepared a memorandum in June 2008 concurring with the conclusions reached in the supplemental Traffic Assessment and determined that the supplemental traffic analysis adequately evaluated the traffic impacts of the project as currently proposed. The May 2007 Traffic Study, the May 2008 Supplemental Traffic Assessment, and the June 2008 letter from the LADOT are provided in Appendix IV.K of the draft EIR. 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS The assessment of existing conditions relevant to this study includes a description of the freeway, highway, and street systems in the project vicinity, current traffic volumes on these facilities, operating conditions of analyzed intersections and public transit services. The traffic analysis study area includes 16 key intersections located along the primary access routes to and from the project site.

  • Westside Draft EIS/EIR Chapter 4
    Chapter 4—Environmental Analysis, Consequences, and Mitigation 4.8 Geologic Hazards The information provided in this section was taken from the Westside Subway Extension Geotechnical and Hazardous Materials Technical Report. Additional information and details are provided in that report. 4.8.1 Regulatory Setting This section provides the state, and local regulations that are applicable to the geologic concerns of the Project and its Study Area. The Project would run through the incorporated cities of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Santa Monica, and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County. In addition to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, a Federal regulation, the following are applicable State and local regulations. State California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) establishes a means to maintain and restore environmental quality for the public welfare. Under CEQA, the focus of the environmental analysis is on the physical change resulting from a project. However, the analysis of such changes may be traced back to non-physical changes, such as a revision in the use of an area that would cause physical changes. Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Public Resource Code [PRC]. 2621 et seq.) is the principal California state guidance to prevent the construction of habitable structures on the surface trace of active earthquake faults. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act only addresses the hazard of surface fault rupture and does not consider other earthquake hazards. Seismic Hazards Mapping Act The Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1990 (PRC 2690-2699.6) addresses non-surface fault rupture earthquake hazards, including liquefaction and seismically induced landslides.

  • ANALYSIS of EXISTING CONDITIONS a Subregional View Of
    ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A subregional view of travel on the Westside has been drawn from interviews with elected officials, meetings with MTA and other agencies and analysis of existing data. The subregion considered in this analysis is shown in Figure 1. Because transportation does not respect political boundaries, the Westside Mobility Study area is roughly all of Los Angeles County west of La Brea Avenue, north of Los Angeles International Airport and south of Mulholland Drive. The Westside has many of the most important activity centers in all of Southern California; 16 of these are shown in Figure 2. The Westside Mobility Study has begun to define what might be done to meet those needs for improved linkages, specifying the most critical locations for major transit improvements and other multimodal improvements. Evaluation of Existing Transportation Conditions A goal of the Westside Mobility Study is to provide an accurate picture of the existing traffic and congestion levels on primary arterials and corridors in the Westside area. As there was a large amount of readily available, current data, no new supplementary traffic counts were conducted. Data was acquired from the following sources and ranges predominantly from 2000 to the present day: · Traffic data from the Cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood · Transit data from Culver City Bus, Big Blue Bus and MTA · Information from MTA’s Short Range Transportation Plan: Technical Document · Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) database of traffic counts · Previous Kaku Associates projects · Caltrans counts 10 WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 1 STUDY AREA Multi-purpose Activity Centers WESTSIDE MOBILITY STUDY SSOCI TES A Corporation FIGURE 2 MAJOR ACTIVITY CENTERS Area Characteristics - Employment, Population and Housing: The Westside area has at least 10% of the jobs in Los Angeles County and is home to over 6% of County residents.

  • Traffic, Circulation, and Parking
    4.1 Traffic, Circulation, and Parking This section describes the existing transportation and parking conditions within and adjacent to the project area. A traffic report describing the potential impacts of the proposed project was prepared by Iteris in March 2010 and is included as Appendix B. This section summarizes the findings of the traffic report and discusses any necessary mitigation and residual impacts after mitigation. The study area for the traffic report prepared for the proposed project was developed in conjunction with LACMTA and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). A study area that included 74 study intersections, consisting of intersections along Wilshire Boulevard, as well as parallel corridors, such as Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, 3rd Street, 6th Street, and 8th Street, was established for the proposed project. 4.1.1 Environmental Setting The following discussion includes an overview of the transportation system within the Wilshire BRT study area. The roadway system in the study area forms a grid pattern, with arterials and collectors that generally follow a northeast-to-southwest orientation in the western portion of the study area (west of the City of Beverly Hills) and an east-to-west orientation in the eastern portion of the study area (east of the City of Beverly Hills.) Freeway Network The Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10 [I-10]) is a major east-west freeway that parallels Wilshire Boulevard south of the study area. The freeway is one of the busiest and carries some of the highest daily traffic volumes in the nation. Annual counts from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) indicate that the 2007 average daily traffic (ADT) on I-10 ranges from 199,000 (east of Centinela Avenue) to 323,000 (east of Vermont Avenue).

  • 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?
