Project Background
> Two-thirds of LA County votersapprove using Measure R funds toaddress congestion
> Unresolved SR-710 option contributesto growing congestion on nearbyfreeways and streets

What we heard during Scoping
> Keep all modal options on thetable:
> Traffic Systems Management/Traffic DemandManagement low build
> Surface, subsurface and elevated structures
> Transit (bus and rail options)
> Street improvements
> Freight management systems
> Supporting advanced technologies
> No build

Four Elements of Need
Area of Influence
Regional transportationsystem
(north-south mobility)
Freeway system efficiency
Study Area
Freeway system efficiency
Congestion on localstreets
Transit system efficiency
Regional Transportation System
> Regional travel speeds are low> Delay is high> Travel times are unpredictable
> Regional travel speeds are low> Delay is high> Travel times are unpredictable
Freeway System
> Over-capacity north-southtravel demands affectsmobility
> High delays andunpredictable travel timeson study area freeways
> High accident rates onfreeways
> Over-capacity north-southtravel demands affectsmobility
> High delays andunpredictable travel timeson study area freeways
> High accident rates onfreeways
Local Street System
> Affected by excess freewaytraffic
> Operates at low speeds> Out-of-place freeway trips
cause high levels ofcongestion

Transit System
> Operational deficiencies> Low travel speeds for buses> North-south transit network is
constrained

Next Steps
> Develop, analyze and screen initial alternatives
> Continue conceptual engineering and technicalanalyses
> Recommend final set of alternatives – Fall 2012
