    February 2006 Metrolink Matters

    FEB RUA RY ’0 6 Dear Metrolink Riders, January 26 is a sad day for Metrolink. January 26 is the day that an individual, for reasons we do not hope to understand, poured gasoline on his car and then parked it on the Metrolink right-of-way in Glendale triggering events that ended with two of our trains derailed. Ten of our passengers and one of our crew members died on that horrible day. Many others were hurt and still others were wounded by the loss of friends, family members and colleagues. We want to acknowledge that day by recognizing these terrible losses and expressing our gratitude to you, our passengers for your loyalty and support throughout this past year. We have worked fi ercely throughout this last year to implement a variety of changes to our rights-of-way and our equipment to ensure, to the best of our abilities, that nothing like January 26 ever happens to Metrolink passengers again. All transportation has risks, and Metrolink is already 20 times safer than riding in any automobile. However, if the opportunity exists to even incrementally increase our level of safety – we will absolutely pursue it. Forty percent of the Metrolink staff commutes every day by train. We work at Metrolink. We ride Metrolink. And even on days like January 26 when our hearts are completely broken, we believe in what we do. Thank you for being a part of the Metrolink family.

Redefining Bunker Hill I'll meet you at Halo WELCOME TO BUNKER HILL At the apex of DTLA on Bunker Hill, Halo is more than a physical location; it is a representation of the cultural rhythm growing in the area. With a nod to The City of Angels, Halo is a place that can exist nowhere else in the country, and yet stands as a universal symbol of positivity, vibrancy, energy and light. It exudes a sense of humanity and togetherness. Its simplicity is conversational and memorable. “I’ll meet you at Halo” will become a phrase that makes sense to everyone and anyone in DTLA and beyond. 02 A Neighborhood TRANSFORMING As part of this placemaking transformation, Brookfield Properties, along with executive architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and design group AvroKO, is undertaking a massive overhaul of the food, beverage, personal service, and cultural offerings housed in the Wells Fargo Center retail component, Halo.

  • Effects of Left Turn Treatments on Intersection Safety Azadeh Azad1 and Emelinda Parentela2

    Effects of Left Turn Treatments on Intersection Safety Azadeh Azad1 and Emelinda Parentela2

    Effects of Left Turn Treatments on Intersection Safety Azadeh Azad1 and Emelinda Parentela2 Abstract Road fatalities represent a major engineering and public health concern. In the United States of America, intersections are the locations with the highest number of motor vehicle crashes, with over 2.3 million intersection-related crashes occurring in 2008. These accidents resulted in more than 7,770 fatalities and around 733,000 injury crashes (NHTSA, 2008). Factors such as geometric design, sight distance, traffic control, vehicle speed, traffic volume and the percentage of turning vehicles influence intersection safety. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the type of left-turn control and its impact on safety at signalized intersections. The number of accidents is correlated with the type of left-turn control, speed, number of lanes, and other variables using data from selected intersections from a city in Southern California. Left turning movements at signalized intersection may operate under protective, permissive, or protective plus permissive controls. Selection of the type of left-turn protection is normally based on the volumes of left–turning vehicles, cross product of left-turning movements and opposing flow, intersection geometry, speed, and accident history. While protective control is deemed the safest and most desirable, the increasing traffic demand on roadways has seen an increase in the use of protective plus permissive control. Protective plus permissive control provides exclusive phase for left turn movement, and allows left turn movements when there is sufficient gaps between left turning vehicles and opposing through traffic. Protective plus permissive control may improve traffic flow, however, it has been documented that this type of control causes driver’s confusion and compromises safety.

    Appendix F: Capital Cost Estimate Memo Technical Note Project: Hybrid Rail Study Prepared by: Amjad Hussain Date: 4/30/18 Approved by: Eric Banghart Checked by: Darlene Gonzalez Subject: Capital Cost Estimate Memo 1 Background and Purpose The Double tracking cost estimate is a based on the preliminary 5% level of design. The following describes the methodology used to develop this cost estimate. This report describes the development of capital cost estimates for infrastructure increase to accompany the Hybrid DMU vehicles. Rough order-of-magnitude capital cost estimates were developed for the following scenarios: ● Supplementing Existing Service between Pomona North and University of Redlands ● Limited bi-directional blended scenarios between El Monte and University of Redlands – 30-Minute service – 15-Minute service ● Limited bi-directional blended scenarios between Pomona North and University of Redlands – 30-Minute service – 15-Minute service ● Unconstrained scenarios between terminus station (El Monte, Pomona North, or Montclair) and University of Redlands – 30-minute service – 20-minute service – 15-minute service ● Ontario Airport Total (Escalated to 2018) Prepare from previous capital cost estimates Each scenario includes an estimate of the probable cost of construction with appropriate increase in vehicles and new/modifications to the existing platforms. The cost estimate addresses double tracking route alignment, existing track shifts, infrastructure improvements and other system costs. The cost estimates will include appropriate design allowances, allocated and unallocated contingency mark-ups as individual line items. A Basis of Estimate Report explaining the scope, assumptions and limitations of the estimating process will accompany the cost estimate. 2 Estimate Definition In order to estimate project capital cost quantities, further conceptual engineering design development double tracking improvements and station modifications where necessary as part of the 15, 20 and 30- minute route planning scenarios.

    INVESTGAME Nov 16 — Nov 22, 2020 Weekly News Digest #47 Hi everyone, Last week we decided to create the archive of the weekly newsletter for your convenience — click here to access it. Roblox to go public on the New York Stock Exchange CA­based video game platform Roblox has filed its S­1 registration documents targeting an IPO on NYSE before the end of this year. Roblox has neither disclosed the sum it’s planning to raise, nor the valuation of the company. Founded in 2004, Roblox Corporation has raised $335.9m investments over the course of 8 rounds with the most recent Series G round closed in Feb 2020 — raising $150m at a $4B post­money valuation. Just eight months later in Oct 2020, Roblox’s rumored potential IPO valuation was said to be $8B. Such an impressive valuation enhancement could be explained by the strong demand for entertainment content due to COVID­19 and shelter­in­place orders (Roblox’s DAUs increased by 90% from 19.1m in Q4’19 to 36.2m DAU in Q3’20). The company’s financial results over the last twelve months ending 30 Sep 2020 are: > $1,477m Bookings vs. $727m Revenue — Roblox gradually recognizes revenue over the average lifetime of a paying user; > ($245m) Loss from operations vs. +$301m Free cash flow. Roblox is an operationally profitable business (taking into account bookings numbers), and we consider the rumored $8B as a probable valuation at IPO. The valuation multiples in such case would be 5.4x Bookings, 11.0x Revenue, and 27x Free cash flow.
