This thesis examines the consequences o£ such construction upon the Northridge business district, with special attention given to the arguments o:f a coalition o:f No1~thrid9e busin.:o;ssr.wn at hec:t.rings befo.ce the California Publi_c Utilities thc\t ad-· ditional grade crossings slw1.1ld be bui1t nearby before t:his 9r ade separation, and that this proposed scpar2:tion v.;cn;_ld prove detrimental to the adjacent business district. Traffic st;:~tistics show that the underpass iV3.s needed} and that vehicula.r traffic condi i:ions stcrrm:dng :f:rom auto- rail conflict at the crossing were.improved. Recon~;truc" tion of land use in Northridge before and after S·eparation, and intervievv:.Lng of J.oca1 businessmen a.nd City and Cow- mission officials, shows that construction accelerated v:iii. on-going land use trends and only slightly affected business activity. Finally, legal and bureaucratic obstasles preventrid the local coalition from effectively criticizing the C~ty's se?aration proposal because: (1) the City's coimnunity representative was not responsive to local opposition; . (2) the coalition could not compete with the City's techniC"al and professional rc::sources _; (3) the Cmnmission' s authority over the situation precluded consideration of alternate ,t~ proposals, and {4) the California State Street and Highway Code made it difficult for City officials to evaluate ·the issues objectively for financial reasons. ix INTRODUCTION This thesis exannn~~s the relationship between traffic and land use; more specifically the degree of change 1n traffic flow characteristics effected by a road network al te~cation, and how both these changes affected the spai~ia1 distribution of land use adjacent to the alteration. Also~ it is concerned with the ability of public officials to m2J~e decisions on tra.nsportation issues in full considerct- tion of the spa.tial inter-·relu..tionship bcJ.twecn road net-· work, traSfic flow, and land use changes. Between Decerrber 1965 and .July 1967 the Depcu:·tment of Enginc.;c.::r3JJ.fJ of th~::: City o::E Los AngE;les sub3t.i1:uted .ct r.::dl- crossing on the Southern Pacific Crn~any 1 s main coastal rail line in Northridge; CaJifornia (?igure 1).

The project turned the level crossing on Reseda Boulevard into a two bridge com- plex; Reseda and Parthenia, which had intersected the Boulevard immediately to the north and south o£ the cross­ ing in dog-leg :fashion, subsequently descended below the railroad right of way thro-u.gh separate bridge structure~;. Construction simultane6usly involved the straightening out of Parth.enia, enabling it to intersect with Reseda at just one ·location immediately to the south of the R•2seda.

  • Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans Community Workshop & Initial Concepts: Summary of Comments November and December 2017
    ORANGE LINE TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP & INITIAL CONCEPTS: SUMMARY OF COMMENTS NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2017 Executive Summary The Orange Line Transit Neighborhood Plans (TNP) project aims to develop land use, zoning, and design regulations for the neighborhoods surrounding five Metro Orange Line stations in the south San Fernando Valley: North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sepulveda, Reseda, and Sherman Way. The study area generally includes the corridors and some residential areas within a 15-minute walk or ½-mile radius of each station. During the first phase of the public planning process, in the first half of 2016, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning hosted four community workshops to identify opportunities to enhance neighborhoods surrounding transit stations, as well as several other small focus groups with specific stakeholder groups. Staff gathered input from the general public, including community residents, business owners, employees, transit users, and other participants about their thoughts, ideas, and concerns for the future of their neighborhood as it develops around transit, summarized here. Using the comments received through the first phase of outreach, in combination with station area context, existing City plans and policies, demographic analysis, and planning best practices, staff developed initial land use and zoning concepts for targeted changes in development rights and design regulations. These initial concepts were presented at two community workshops, on November 2, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m.at the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center in Tarzana, and on November 15, 2017 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Van Nuys City Hall. Following these meetings, materials were made available online and staff solicited additional comments through the end of December.

  • Recommendations to Improve Pedestrian Safety on the Hoopa
    RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN PACOIMA By Tony Dang, Jaime Fearer, Wendy Alfsen, Caro Jauregui, September 2015 California Walks; Jill Cooper, Katherine Chen, UC Berkeley SafeTREC Recommendations to Improve Pedestrian Safety in Pacoima BY TONY DANG, JAIME FEARER, WENDY ALFSEN, CARO JAUREGUI, CALIFORNIA WALKS; JILL COOPER, KATHERINE CHEN, UC BERKELEY SAFETREC INTRODUCTION The Pacoima neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles was identified as a focus community for a Community Pedestrian Safety Training, in collaboration with Pacoima Beautiful, based on residents’ interest in pedestrian safety and walkability, as well as recent and planned active transportation improvements in and around the neighborhood. Following additional conversations with the Active Transportation Division of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), Los Angeles Walks, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), faculty from the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College, and the office of Councilmember Felipe Fuentes, the community invited the University of California at Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) and California Walks (Cal Walks) to Pacoima to facilitate a community-driven pedestrian safety action- planning workshop. Cal Walks facilitated the workshop on August 29, 2015, which consisted of: 1) an overview of multidisciplinary approaches to improve pedestrian safety; 2) two walkability assessments along Van Nuys Boulevard and other neighborhood streets; and 3) small group action planning discussions to facilitate the development of community-prioritized recommendations to inform the City’s ongoing active transportation efforts, as well as the County’s planning efforts for the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor project. This report summarizes the workshop proceedings, as well as ideas identified during the process and recommendations for pedestrian safety projects, policies, and programs.
