CPY Document FORM GEN. 160 (Rev. 6-80) CITY OF LOS ANGELES INTER-DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE November 7, 2006 TO: Transportation Committee of the Los Angeles City Council Attn: Adam Lid, Legislative Assistant FROM: Jane Blumenfeld --. ~ Principal City Plan~(A Department of City Planning SUBJECT: STATION AREA PLANNING EFFORTS FOR THE EXPOSITION LIGHT RAIL AND GOLD LINE EASTSIDE EXTENSION (CF 06-0871) Plans for Exposition Line and Gold Line Eastside Extension Stations: The Department of City Planning (Department) will utilize Proposition A funds to hire three consultant teams to develop seven station area plans for new transit stations along the Exposition Light Rail Line and the Gold Line Eastside Extension. The plans will result in comprehensive station specific implementation strategies to foster transit-oriented development within a half mile of each station. Linkage opportunities will include improved pedestrian and bicycle mobility options and recommendations for DASH style bus circulators at y" mile, 1 and 2 mile intervals. Also the plans will provide leverage to other city departments such as the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Bureau of Engineering to apply for capital improvement funds from such sources as the Metro Call for Projects. Groundbreaking for the Exposition Line occurred in September 2006 with completion scheduled for July 2010. Construction for the Gold Line commenced in late 2005 with completion scheduled for 2009. Key objectives of the plans include: . Develop conceptual land use/transit-oriented district plans for each station area . Identify opportunities for economic development and joint development around each station . Develop urban design measures (such as streetscape guidelines and signage) which create or enhance community identity around each station . Identify opportunities for transportation enhancements, transit linkages and multi-modal access to stations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users Proposal: Station area planning for the Exposition Line and Gold Line Eastside Extension corridors will be led by the Department of City Planning and incorporated into the Community Plan Revision program with assistance from the Department's new Urban Design Team where appropriate. Such efforts wiii be coordinated with DOT, Community Redevelopment Agency, other City departments, Metro, and the Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority. The plans will build upon a variety of past, current, and future publicly and privately funded planning and development efforts around each station area. CF 06-0871 Based upon the many prior and current planning efforts around the two rail lines and the fact that several stations are in close proximity to one another, the Department recommends that the seven station areas be grouped into three separate Requests For Proposals (RFP). The RFPs will include, but will not be limited to transportation and parking demand management, market studies (to identify future area demand for housing, jobs, and retail services), 3-D computer visuals, community outreach, land use and transportation linkage analyses within station areas. A key component of each RFP will be the coordination among the consultants and the various public and private entities sponsoring current efforts around each station. Each RFP will be tailored to build upon and complement those efforts. The goal is to develop comprehensive station specific implementation strategies that foster transit-oriented development and balance the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, citywide policy issues, including those related to industrial land, affordable housing, and environmental sustainability wiii influence the land use patterns around each station. The first RFP contains three Gold Line Extension stations located along First SI.: Station Name Location Council District Pico/Aliso Station First St.Utah St 14 Mariachi Plaza First SUBoyie Ave. 14 Soto Station First St.Soto SI. 14 The second RFP includes two Exposition Line stations located along Flower SI.: Station Name Location Council District 23m St Station Flower St.23m SI. 9 Jefferson Station Flower St.Jefferson Blvd. 9 The third RFP encompasses two Exposition Line stations located along Exposition Blvd.: Station Name Location Council District Vermont Station Vermont Ave/Exposition Blvd. 8 Western Station Western Ave/Exposition Blvd. 8 Remaining Station Areas The remaining Gold Line Extension and Exposition Line station areas are currently included in other studies funded through City, regional, and/or other outside sources, or wiii be funded in future years, as follows: Gold Line Extension Rationale Council District Little T okyo/ Arts District Part of Civic Center Study 9 Station funded in FY '07 3co/lndiana Station Located in County of LA, 14 adjacent to CD 14 2 CF 06-0871 Exposition Line Rationale Council District Trousdale/Exposition USC/Exposition Park Master 8 Station Plans Crenshaw Station Included within CRA 10 Crenshaw Corridor study. La Brea Station Subject of Transportation Land 10 Use Collaborative "Envision La Brea" study. La Cienega/Jefferson SCAG FY '07 grant 10 Station administered by Planning Department' Venice/Robertson Proposed funding by Planning 10 Department (FY'08). To be coordinated with current City of Culver City efforts and future Santa Monica Freeway improvements. Coordination: The Department of City Planning, in close coordination with the Department of Transportation, will be the lead in the selection of the consultants. The Department of City Planning will execute the contracts, with the Department of Transportation paying the invoices through Proposition A funds. Conclusion: The Department of City Planning believes creating three RFPs is the best approach to maximize the City's Proposition A funds. The Department looks forward to partnering with other City departments and the private sector to create high quality transit and pedestrian friendly environments around each station area. The objectives help fulfill the goals of the City's General Plan Framework to focus development around transit stations and transit corridors. Recommendation: The Department of City Planning recommends that the Council authorize the Department to issue three separate Requests for Proposals (RFPs) utilizing for transit-oriented station studies around seven stations of the Exposition Light Rail Line and the Gold Line Eastside Extension, to be funded with Proposition A funds identified in the current Budget for a total amount not to exceed $900,000. 3 CF 06-0871 Attachments: Exhibit A: Station Area Efforts Exhibit B: Draft Scope of Work Exhibit C: Gold Line Extension alignment Exhibit D: Exposition Line alignment 4 CF 06-0871 Exhibit A STATION AREA EFFORTS Exposition Station Areas- East to West The outline below defines the current and planned efforts being undertaken at each station by Metro, Los Angeles Department of Transportation, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), Transportation Land Use Collaborative (TLUC), Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the City of Culver City Redevelopment Agency, Caltrans, Department of City Planning and property owners. 23'0 StreeUFlower Public and Private Efforts .

Custom Answers 2) Statement Regarding ThemeArtist must provide a written statement (up to 150 words) as part of their submittal explaining how their sculpture addresses and illustrates the theme.&nbsp;&nbsp; Art is like music, it stimulates the mind and the senses. With this in mind I build my pieces with emphasis on space, form, color, line, rhythm, and content. Artists are image makers and like the world's antennas, they feel, think and express reality. Momentarily I focus on "defining our spaces", like building a new society, using color, form and line as the building blocks. In addition to my public art projects I have developed a series of "color molecule" sculptures. The sculptures represent an homage to the smallest building block of life, the molecules. The theme is called "metamorphosis" which means change, and I see my work fitiing to the theme, as we all have metamorphed from molecules to a human being, so honoring the smallest entity in us seems allright. The work has semi circular motions, which gives a light feeling. The piece is 14' x 6;' x 6'. It is powder coated, the main color being turquise with colored glass inserted in the molecules. When the light shines through 3) Art Installation and De-Installation PlanPlease reference the attached site plan and provide an installation and de-installation plan and requirements for the attachment of the Artwork and the type of hardware to be used for the attachment.
