  • **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 for Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Be
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **UPDATE** Lane Shift on Westbound Foothill Freeway I-210 For Pavement Rehabilitation Pasadena and La Cañada Flintridge – Beginning the week of August 21, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will make temporary changes along westbound Foothill Freeway (I-210) from Lincoln Avenue to Foothill Boulevard. Construction crews will restripe and shift lanes towards the median. Both eastbound and westbound inner shoulders will be used as traffic lanes. The eastbound inner shoulder will become a temporary bypass lane for westbound traffic. A concrete barrier will separate the eastbound traffic and the westbound bypass lane for the safety of motorists. Two outer lanes on westbound I-210 will close as crews begin to replace the pavement along the freeway. The bypass lane allows all traffic lanes on westbound I-210 to remain open while work is underway, which will be in effect through spring 2018. The Foothill Freeway is a major thoroughfare, serving commuters between Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. As a result of heavy use, the road needs to be replaced with new pavement. The temporary traffic lane shift and closures are part of a $148.5 million pavement rehabilitation project on I-210. Once the project is completed in 2018, the new surface will provide a smoother drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance, and minimize the need for further lane closures. Motorists are advised to “Be Work Zone Alert.” WHAT The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close one lane of the eastbound Foothill Freeway (1-210) from Ocean View Boulevard to Lincoln Avenue as part of a pavement rehabilitation project.

  • Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of This Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California
    Barbara Bogo FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oldcastle Precast MARCH 2017 (888) 965‐3227 [email protected] Precast Concrete Highway Slabs Expedite Largest Project of this Type in North America on I‐ 210 in California PASADENA, Calif. (MARCH 2017) – Precast concrete highway pavement slabs are increasing in popularity for use in rapid highway construction. This is, in part, the result of many state departments of transportation recognizing the efficiency of the precast slab method and selecting it for use on an increasing number of state projects. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has specified precast concrete pavement slabs for one of the largest projects of this type in North America, the Pavement and Slab Replacement Project on the Foothill Freeway (I‐ 210). This transportation project, approximately 12 miles north of Los Angeles, begins at the Dunsmore Avenue undercrossing in La Crescenta‐Montrose and extends to the North Los Robles Avenue overcrossing in Pasadena. Flatiron West of Chino Hills, California, has appointed Oldcastle Precast of Fontana, California to supply several thousand precast highway pavement slabs for this $148 million project. As a national precaster who has embraced this technology, Oldcastle Precast, a leading provider of engineered building product solutions for North American infrastructure projects, received the contract to manufacture 6,500 precast concrete pavement slabs. Each slab measures 12.5‐foot ‐wide by 11.33‐foot‐ long by 12‐inch‐thick, for the 9.7‐mile segment of I‐210, and will be used to replace sections, that have undergone erosion and deterioration due to years of exposure to heavy traffic. Site installation of the pavement slabs is occurring as an overnight process.

  • “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.

  • 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Quality Draft EIR
    City of Azusa General Plan & Development Code 4.1 Aesthetics and Visual Quality Draft EIR 4.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL QUALITY SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY This section evaluates the potential impacts to aesthetics and visual quality. Aesthetics refers to visual resources and the quality of what can be seen, or overall visual perception of the environment, and may include such elements as scenic values, visual character, new visible elements, and lighting. Areas of prime aesthetic value are found in the area’s scenic routes and open space, including the San Gabriel River, regional parks, and the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Sources utilized in the preparation of this section include aerial photographs, in-field visual assessments, and the City of Azusa’s Analysis of Existing Conditions and Trends report. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The San Gabriel Mountains The San Gabriel Mountains are the northern backdrop to Azusa. They are a tremendous landmark, a memorable visual presence of nature in the city and a key recreational resource. Historically, these mountains have been used by Azusa and surrounding cities as a watershed, feeding the entire region with water and providing sand and gravel for surface mining. The San Gabriel Mountains are a source of geographic and spiritual identity for Azusa. They provide an identifiable boundary to the City and generate the gentle topographic slope that qualifies Azusa as a Southern California foothill community. Residents, visitors, hikers, bikers, and horseback riders alike appreciate the aesthetic value of the foothills of Azusa. The Local Scenic Roads provide panoramic views of the Azusa hillsides and the San Gabriel Mountains including Mt.

A description of the project’s objectives defines the project’s intent and facilitates the formation of project alternatives. Specifically, Section 15124 (b) of the State CEQA Guidelines states the following requirement: “A statement of the objectives sought by the proposed project. A clearly written statement of objectives will help the lead agency develop a reasonable range of alternatives to evaluate in the EIR and will aid the decision makers in preparing findings or a statement of overriding considerations, if necessary. The statement of objectives should include the underlying purpose of the project.” The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa (Agency) and the project applicant (Target Corporation) have stated that the proposed project would function as an economic catalyst for the City in its effort to increase employment, business, and investment opportunities in the downtown Azusa area. The proposed project would contribute to this effort by offering residents a wide variety of goods and services in a convenient location in downtown Azusa and near the future Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Gold Line Foothill Extension, which is strategically situated south of and adjacent to the project site.
