  • City Council Agenda Report
    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: 4/12/2021 ITEM NO: 15 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Approval of a Letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Support of Federal Funding for the West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail Project FROM: Karen Lee, Management Analyst REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Melissa Burke, Administrative Manager HongDao Nguyen, City Attorney William Rawlings, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign, and direct staff to submit, the attached letter to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. BACKGROUND: The West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) light rail line is a substantial public works and transportation project that will have a permanent impact on the region. This project will have tremendous impact on the City as the City’s planned station location in the Downtown will be the line’s terminus. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is overseeing this project. During the January 12, 2021 meeting of the WSAB City Manager Technical Advisory Committee, and the board meeting of the Orangeline Development Authority/Eco-Rapid Transit on January 13, 2021, Metro staff reported that it intends to lobby for federal funding for the WSAB project to help pay the estimated cost of $6.3 to $6.5 billion in 2018 dollars based on 5% design level plus the addition of project revisions. The project costs will be updated this month based on the 15% design level. 1 ANALYSIS: Metro has requested that cities along the WSAB corridor provide letters in support of the WSAB project and Metro’s efforts to pursue federal funding for this project.

  • City Council Agenda Report
    CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: 11/9/2020 ITEM NO: 7 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT: Informational Report Regarding the 3% Local Contribution Required Under Measure M to Fund the West Santa Ana Branch Light Rail Line FROM: Karen Lee, Management Analyst REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Melissa Burke, Administrative Manager Christi Hogin, City Attorney William Rawlings, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the report. BACKGROUND: Los Angeles County voters approved Measure M on November 8, 2016, which implemented a permanent county-wide sales tax increase to fund projects to greatly expand the County’s public transit system, including new rail lines, roads, and related infrastructure. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) administers Measure M funds. Funding for the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) line is provided by Measure M. One of Measure M’s requirements is a local contribution by jurisdictions for constructing a rail project with a new station within their boundaries. The rationale for the contribution is that local jurisdictions receive a direct benefit due to the increased access to transit service that is above and beyond the project’s benefit to the County as a whole. The contribution amount is 3% of the project’s total costs at the 30% level of its final design. It is capped at this amount for local contribution purposes, even if the total project cost increases. This amount is then divided by the number of new rail stations constructed on the line. Jurisdictions located within a one-half mile area of the new station will proportionally share the costs based on each jurisdiction’s share of the area.

  • Metro Set to Begin Environmental Clearance Process for West Santa Ana Branch Rail Line Connecting Southeast L.A
    Latest Measure R Transit Project Moving Forward Metro Set to Begin Environmental Clearance Process for West Santa Ana Branch Rail Line Connecting southeast L.A. County to the regional transit system moved one step closer to reality today when the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board approved contracts to proceed with environmental work and community outreach for the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor project to connect L.A. Union Station and Artesia via a new rail line. The Board approved contracts with Parsons Brinkerhoff, Inc. to complete the environmental clearance for the project and a contract with Arrellano Associates, LLC for community outreach. The Board also approved a funding agreement with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments to help the 13 cities along the project corridor participate in the study. The effort will be led by the Eco-Rapid Transit Joint Powers Authority, which was created to study rail transit in the corridor. The West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor travels through the cities of Artesia, Bell, Bellflower, Bell Gardens, Cudahy, Cerritos, Downey, Huntington Park, Lynwood, Los Angeles, Maywood, Paramount, South Gate and Vernon. During the environmental clearance phase, various rail alignments will be studied between Los Angeles Union Station and a southern terminus in Artesia. The preferred route will ultimately be approved by the Metro Board. “Connecting southeast L.A. County to the regional transit system is an important part of Metro’s broad vision for better regional mobility,” said John Fasana, Metro Board Chair and Duarte City Council Member. “But this milestone is particularly good news for the Gateway Cities communities.

It demonstrates Passenger Rail the progress that has been made over the last two decades in terms of growing ridership, new rail services, capital improvements and new funding opportunities. It demonstrates the regional importance and significance of passenger rail in the SCAG region, and why growing rail services by increasing frequencies in underserved corridors, as well as establishing service in unserved markets, is crucial to the future mobility and sustainability of our region. The report highlights recent success in establishing new funding opportunities for passenger rail, including the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) and Senate Bill (SB) 1. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner intercity rail service is benefiting from these new funding opportunities as well as recent institutional arrangements that establish local control for the service.
