  • AUGUST 23, 2019 Shows a Map of the Corridor and Study Area, Which Includes One-Half Mile to Either Side of Verm�:Mt Avenue
    AUGUST 23, 2019 shows a map of the corridor and study area, which includes one-half mile to either side of Verm�:mt Avenue. The three potential.rail concepts include: 1) Light Rail Transit (LRT), 2) Heavy Rail Transit (HRT) with a direct connection to the Red Line; and 3) HRT with stand-alone operation (beginning/ending at Vermont/Wilshire). Because the cost of each rail alternative far exceeds the Measure M funding, staffinitially recommended advancing three BRT alternatives into environmental review. However, the April Board motion directed staffto also advance the three rail concepts into environmental review to preserve the ability to deliver rail transit should additional funding materialize. The motion also directed staff to include a feasibility study of extending the Vermont Transit Corridor to the South Bay Silver Line Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) transitway station to ensure regional connectivity. Environmental Review and South Bay Feasibility Study In order to address the April 25, 2019 Board motion, staffis developing separate procurement documents to conduct two parallel studies. Given the importance of the Vermont Transit Corridor and desire to meet the Measure M opening date, staff will proceed with advancing the three BRT and three rail alternatives between Hollywood Boulevard and 120th Street into environmental review. This effortis anticipated to take approximately 24 months from contract award through completion of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The six alternatives being studied in the EIR include: 1) End-to-end side-running BRT 2) Combination side- and center-running BRT 3) End-to-end center-running BRT (including possible grade separation) 4) LRT 5) HRT with direct connection to Red Line 6) HRT stand-alone service (beginning/ending at Vermont/Wilshire) The second study assesses the feasibility of extending the BRT and rail alternatives 10 miles from 120th Street to the South Bay Silver Line PCH transitwaystation.

  • PM Conformity Hot Spot Analysis LAOG1094
    PM Conformity Hot Spot Analysis – Project Summary for Interagency Consultation RTIP ID#: LAOG1094 The West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor (Project) is currently programmed in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program as Study Only and funding is provided for preliminary engineering. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is seeking a Record of Decision (ROD) on an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), although federal funding has not been fully programmed. Metro anticipates that a ROD will facilitate the pursuit of federal funds. Importantly, the Conformity Determination is required by FTA prior to circulation of the Draft EIS. Public review of the EIS is anticipated for mid-2021. TCWG Consideration Date: January 26, 2021 Project Description Metro, in cooperation with FTA, is proposing an electrically powered light rail transit (LRT) line that would extend up to 19 miles from downtown Los Angeles through southeast Los Angeles County. The Project location is shown in Figure 1. The Project would provide reliable, fixed-guideway transit service that would increase mobility and connectivity for historically underserved, transit-dependent, and environmental justice communities; reduce travel times on local and regional transportation networks; and accommodate substantial future employment and population growth. The Project includes four Build Alternatives that would extend from different termini in the north to the same terminus in the City of Artesia in the south. These Build Alternatives are as follows: • Alternative 1: Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) to Pioneer Station; the northern terminus would be located underground at LAUS Forecourt. This alignment length would be 19.3 miles and include 11 stations and 22 traction power substations (TPSS).
