This project aims to enhance our understanding of the relationship between transit investment and urban land use change through a systematic investigation of parcel level land use in Southern California with a focus on the first phase of the Gold Line, opened in 2003.

  • The Neighborly Substation the Neighborly Substation Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design
    MANHATTAN INSTITUTE CENTER FORTHE RETHINKING DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Hope Cohen 2008 er B ecem D THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION THE NEIGHBORLY SUBstATION Electricity, Zoning, and Urban Design Hope Cohen Deputy Director Center for Rethinking Development Manhattan Institute In 1879, the remarkable thing about Edison’s new lightbulb was that it didn’t burst into flames as soon as it was lit. That disposed of the first key problem of the electrical age: how to confine and tame electricity to the point where it could be usefully integrated into offices, homes, and every corner of daily life. Edison then designed and built six twenty-seven-ton, hundred-kilowatt “Jumbo” Engine-Driven Dynamos, deployed them in lower Manhattan, and the rest is history. “We will make electric light so cheap,” Edison promised, “that only the rich will be able to burn candles.” There was more taming to come first, however. An electrical fire caused by faulty wiring seriously FOREWORD damaged the library at one of Edison’s early installations—J. P. Morgan’s Madison Avenue brownstone. Fast-forward to the massive blackout of August 2003. Batteries and standby generators kicked in to keep trading alive on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. But the Amex failed to open—it had backup generators for the trading-floor computers but depended on Consolidated Edison to cool them, so that they wouldn’t melt into puddles of silicon. Banks kept their ATM-control computers running at their central offices, but most of the ATMs themselves went dead. Cell-phone service deteriorated fast, because soaring call volumes quickly drained the cell- tower backup batteries.

  • 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.
