A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
FOR CONTRACT YEAR 2022-2023 BETWEEN THE CITY OF MONTEREY PARK AND THE MONTEREY PARK POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

3D. PROPOSED LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN AND VISION ZERO

The federal government implements a Highway Safety Improvement Program (“HSIP”) that makes federal funds available for highway improvements. Among other things, the HSIP requires each State to adopt a State Highway Safety Plan (“SHSP”) to be eligible for federal money. California’s SHSP makes HSIP available to local governments that adopt a Local Roadway Safety Plan (“LRSP”). The City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for HSIP funding earlier this year.

After the City was awarded HSIP grant money, it retained a consultant to develop Monterey Park’s LRSP for City Council Consideration. The LRSP is intended to proactively address local traffic safety needs, reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. Adopting the LRSP also makes the City eligible to continue receiving HSIP funding. Relatedly, the City developed a Vision Zero Policy. This Policy is a traffic safety strategy to reduce and eventually eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries using a data- driven, multi-disciplinary, and safe systems approach that also increases safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.

A Plan was developed and It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the City of Monterey Park Plan and also adopt a resolution establishing a Vision Zero policy to work towards zero traffic death and severe injuries.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The Resolutions are exempt from additional environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because they establish rules and procedures in compliance with California law; do not involve any commitment to a specific project that would result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitute an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly the Resolution does not constitute a “project” that requires environmental review ( see specifically, CEQA Guidelines §§ 15378(b)(2,5) and 15308).

Action Taken: The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R74 approving the Local Road Safety Plan and Resolution No. 2022-R75 adopting a Vision Zero Policy

5A. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE DISCUSSION ITEM

Inclusionary housing ordinances are adopted by cities to encourage the production of affordable units in new housing developments. This is accomplished by two methods, or a combination of methods: (1) require actual construction of affordable units; and/or (2) pay an in-lieu fee to the city that is commensurate with the cost of a new unit. For option #2, fees are usually consolidated into an affordable housing trust fund. Those monies may then be leveraged by the city to help pay for affordable housing in other projects. The in- lieu fee is generally calculated based upon the difference in price between an affordable housing unit and the sale price of a market rate unit. The Housing Element for the City of Monterey Park requires that the City Council consider an inclusionary housing ordinance before the end of this year.

Public Speakers:

- Deputy City Clerk Trang received, filed, and read into the record a written communication from Je-Show Yang and Linda Tang who recommended to create a policy that will require that 15% of new units be dedicated towards affordable units for low and very low-income households.

- Je- Show Yang congratulated the City Council for taking steps on making sure low-income and very low -income residents have potential housing in future residential developments.

- Linda Tang recommended to create a policy that will require that 15% of new units be dedicated towards affordable units for low and very low-income households.

70-XX
September 7, 2022

Discussion:

- Planning Manager Jessica Serrano presented a PowerPoint on the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

- Council Member Liang inquired about the positive and negative affect s inclusionary housing requirements have on development s. He suggested that staff look into cities that implemented this program and the trending results.

- Council Member Yiu commented that the in-lieu fee should be calculated per unit rather than per project; that the inclusionary percentage should be 20%; that she agrees with inclusionary housing requirements to encourage affordable housing; that the inclusionary housing requirements should apply to housing projects with 5 or more units with no limits on household income level ; and developers should be penalized if they do not provide affordable units.

- Council Member Chan suggested that developers should not be penalized and would rather have developers receive a reasonable return on their investment ; and that the inclusionary housing requirements should not be too strict; that they should be balanced and reasonable.

- Mayor Lo suggested to review the household median income qualifications and assess when rental units will need to be reevaluated to ensure individuals are still income qualified; that the target income for the household affordability level should be in line with the city’s median income; and that staff should survey other cities to look at the affordability timeframe for affordable units.

Action Taken: The City Council received and filed the report; and provided feedback and direction to staff on potential s tandards and issues to be considered when drafting an inclusionary housing ordinance.

Motion: Moved by Council Member Liang and seconded by Council Member Yiu, motion carried by the following vote:

Ayes: Council Members: Yiu, Chan, Liang, Lo

ln accordance with the City's Purchasing & Contracting Policy 20-01and with MPMC Chapters 3.20 and 3.90, staff solicited quotes from the following companies: LN Curtis, NAFECO, Municipal Emergency Services, Trans-Care Rescue, and Feld Fire. Due to the unique specifications of the equipment, vendors must be authorized by the manufacturers, Paratech Emergency Equipment Manufacturers and Rescue42, to sell these products. LN Curtis & Sons, is the authorized vendor (for the State of California) to sell the CTC Strut rescue kit and the Maxiforce G2 US&R Lift Bag kit.

The performance period for the grant ends in May of 2023. Subgrantees must complete and submit, for review, all purchasing paperwork by January of 2023.

Resolution Declaring the Month of November as "Movember" to Raise Awareness to Prostate and Other Male Cancers
RECOMMENDATION:
·It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting Resolution declaring the month of November as "Movember"; and

2. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
·The Movember Foundation is the leading global organization committed to changing the face of men's health. The Movember community has raised $911 million to date and funded over 1,250 programs in 20 countries (https://us.movember.com/). This work is saving and improving the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health programs.

The Foundation challenges men to grow mustaches during Movember (formerly known as November), to spark conversation and raise vital funds for its men's health programs.

To date, over 5 million mustaches have been grown worldwide.

The mustaches are a symbol to promote awareness regarding men's health issues and to encourage yearly checkups regarding prostate and testicular cancer. The growth of a new mustache prompts a conversation, which in turn generates awareness and educates peop le on the health issues men face.

The Vision of the Movember Foundation is to have an everlasting impact of the face of men's health.

BACKGROUND:
·"Movember" started as an annual charity mustache growing event in Australia sixteen years ago. Travis Garone is the co-founder of the Movember Foundation. He and Luke Slattery from Melbourne were having a discussion in 2003 at the Gypsy Bar on Brunswick Street, Fitzroy when the conversation went to how fashion trends from the 1980's were coming back, except mustaches. They remembered how popular they were and decided to grow their mos. ("mo" is Aussie slang for mustache.) This is when they realized that mustaches would be a great reminder that men should be able to talk openly about men's health issues, especially prostate cancer as 1 in 6 men will get it in their lifetime.

One of their programs is MOVE, to encourage more activity in our daily lives" This is especially important if you sit more than six hours a day. New research shows that sitting and inactivity are linked to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression. our bodies are designed to move; when we sit for extended periods, it causes our bodies to shut down at the metabolic level. when our muscles (especiafly certain leg muscles) are not moving, our circulation slows, using less of our blood sugar and burning less fat.

Moving on a regular basis can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

The Movember Foundation was ranked 45th out of the top Non- Governmental Organizations worldwide.

The vision of Movember.com is to have an everlasting impact on men's health while having fun in the process. They believe in one team working together and sharing knowledge to reach their shared goals.

A Awareness and education promote life saving changes.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Granular Activated Carbon Replacement – Award of Contract RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute three-year maintenance agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Calgon Carbon Corporation and Aqueous Vets, LLC, for a combined total not to exceed $304,500 annually for Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Replacement for the Well 1, 3, 10, Fern Treatment Plant; and

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

The proposed work involves minor alterations to existing public facilities and therefore is Class 1 Categorically Exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff released a solicitation for bids seeking Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) replacement for the Well 1, 3, 10, Fern Treatment Plant on August 24, 20 22. Staff received four bids and is requesting award of three-year maintenance contracts to both Calgon Car bon Corp. and Aqueous Vets, LLC for a combined total not-to-exceed $304,500 annually.

BACKGROUND:

Staff released a solicitation for bid on August 24, 2022 for Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) replacement for the Well 1, 3, 10, and Fern Treatment Plant. Note that this carbon contract differs from the contract that City Council awarded to Calgon Carbon Corp. on August 14, 2022: The August award is specifically for the Centralized Groundwater Treatment System (CGTS) that requires Filtrasorb 400 carbon media.

The Well 1, 3, 10, Fern Treatment GAC bid requests proposals for both coconut shell- and bituminous coal GAC. The State’s Division of Drinking Water permit to operate this treatment facility includes the option for both types of carbon media.

Consent Calendar - 3H

Staff Report

October 19, 2022
A total of f our (4) bids were received – 2 for coal-based and 3 for coconut shell-based GAC; Evoqua submitted proposals for both coal and coconut shell. The following table summarizes the cost proposals. Bid costs include GAC profile of spent carbon and caustic wash that is a maintenance requirement when bacteria are found in the GAC vessels.

Calgon Carbon Corp. Coal $1,000 $254,812 $48,600 $304,412 Bids submitted by Carbon Activated Corp. and Evoqua Water Technologies failed to include bid bonds that are required for this bid; therefore, their bids were unresponsive.

Staff is requesting that City Council award contract to Calgon Carbon Corporation for bituminous coal GAC and to Aqueous Vets, LLC for coconut shell-based GAC.

The proposed GAC contracts are for a combined total not to exceed $304,500 annually.

GAC replacement is not performed on a scheduled basis but when laboratory compliance sampling results indicate that the level of certain contaminants found in the treated water surpasses the threshold that is determined by the State. As a result, annual GAC replacement costs differ from year to year. For FY2022, expenditures for GAC was only $120,108, while in FY2021 GAC expenditures totaled $352,728. The discrepancy is due to variability in the quality of the water pumped out of the groundwater basin which is a function of current drought conditions and the impact on water levels.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY2023 budget includes funds for GAC replacement . The f unding source is water treatment funds (402) that are reimbursable from the Water Quality Authority (WQA).

AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: MAT Cycle 1 Grant – Potrero Grande Improvements RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Funding Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Metro Active Transport Cycle 1 Program, for 1st-Riggin-Potrero Grande Corridor Improvements, in the amount of $6,366,225;

2. Authorizing the City Manager to appropriate project funds for the Mat Cycle 1: 1st- Riggin-Potrero Grande Corridor Improvements per the Funding Agreement budget; and

3. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In April 2020, the City of Monterey Park submitted a joint grant application on behalf of the City of Montebello, City of Rosemead, and LA County Department of Public Works for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Metro Active Transport (MAT) Cycle 1 Program. The proposed project included various improvements along the Riggin, Potrero Grande Corridor for an estimated $6.4 M. LACMTA selected the project for award and has provided a Funding Agreement for “1 st-Riggin-Potrero
Grande Corridor, LCMTA Project #C1103.” Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement, in the amount of $6,366,225 and to proceed with the project. An overview of the project was previously presented to City Council at the January 19, 2022 meeting.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Monterey Park submitted and was consequently awarded a joint grant application for the LACMTA’s MAT Cycle 1 program. The proposed project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City of Montebello, and Unincorporated Area (LA County Public Works). The City of Monterey Park submitted the application as the lead agency, and will be responsible for grant management throughout all phases of the project, including planning, design, construction and close out. The project limits are on:
• W 1st St from Vancouver Ave to Atlantic Blvd,
Consent Calendar - 3J

Staff Report

October 19, 2022
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,

The proposed project focuses on the construction of continuous bicycle facilities (Class II-III bike lanes), missing sidewalks, roadway rehabilitation, ADA compliant curb ramps, and pedestrian improvements along the specified corridor. These improvements w ill enhance safety conditions and provide an active transportation connectivity that is currently missing between the neighboring cities and County.

Once completed, this project will increase the overall safety and mobility of non-motorized users, enhance public health, and improve access for pedestrians and cyclists in the nearby communities. Any effort to improve the Cities’ accessibilities and increase pedestrian safety through encouragement of walking and cycling as a healthy and effective method of transportation will have a significant impact on the communities along this corridor. Additionally, this project will bring the needed safety improvements to streets that serve as common routes to and from schools and pedestrian activity areas and as bicycling and walking routes for the local community members and commuters alike. This project further supports the City’s efforts towards its traffic safety initiative as outlined in its adopted Complete Streets Policy, Local Road Safety Plan, and Vision Zero initiative.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The MAT Cycle 1 program is a reimbursable grant. As the lead agency, the City will provide sufficient funding to carry out the project activities and will submit quarterly expenditure reports to LACMTA for reimbursement of project costs. LACMTA will withhold a 5% retention per each submitted invoice pending a project audit of expenditures and completion of scope of work. It is recommended that City Council authorize the appropriation of Measure M funds per the Funding Agreement for the execution of this project.

5. Attachment B is the Expenditure Plan - Cost & Cash Flow Budget (the "Expenditure Plan").

It is the entire proposed cash flow, the budget and financial plan for the Project, which includes the total sources of all funds programmed to the Project, including GRANTEE and other entity funding commitments, if any, for this Project as well as the fiscal year and quarters the Project funds are anticipated to be expended. GRANTEE shall update the Expenditure Plan annually, no later than December 31st, and such update shall be submitted to LACMTA’s Senior Executive Officer managing the Measure M Metro Active Transport Program in writing. If the LACMTA’s Senior Executive Officer managing the Measure M Metro Active Transport Program concurs with such updated Expenditure Plan in writing, Attachment B shall be replaced with the new Attachment B setting forth the latest approved Expenditure Plan. Payments under this FA shall be consistent with

Attachment B as revised from time to time. Any change to the final milestone date must be made by a fully executed amendment to this FA.

6. Attachment C is the “Scope of Work.” The GRANTEE shall complete the Project as described in the Scope of Work. This Scope of Work shall include a detailed description of the Project and the work to be completed in each jurisdiction, including anticipated Project milestones and a schedule consistent with the lapsing policy in Part II, Section 14, and a description of the Project limits, if the Project is a capital project, and a more detailed description of the allocation of funds. No later than December 31st each year, GRANTEE shall notify LACMTA if there are any changes to the final milestone date set forth in the schedule or any changes to the Scope of Work. If LACMTA agrees to such changes, the PARTIES shall memorialize such changes in an amendment to this FA. Work shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and scope identified in this FA unless otherwise agreed to by the PARTIES in writing in an amendment to this FA. If GRANTEE fails to meet milestones or fails to deliver the Project, LACMTA will have the option to suspend or terminate the FA for default as described in Part II, Sections 2, 13, 14, and 15 herein below.

To the extent interim milestone dates are not met but GRANTEE believes and can show documentation acceptable to LACMTA supporting GRANTEE’s ability to make up the time so as to not impact the final milestone date, GRANTEE shall notify LACMTA of such changes in its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report and such interim milestone dates will automatically be amended to the latest interim milestone dates provided in the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report (Attachment D-2). In no event can the final milestone date be amended by a Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report.

7. No changes to this FA, including but not limited to the Funds, and any other source of funds from LACMTA in the Project Funding, Expenditure Plan, or the Scope of Work shall be allowed without an amendment to the original FA, approved and signed by the PARTIES.

8. Attachment D is the “Project Reporting & Expenditure Guidelines.” GRANTEE shall complete the “Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report.” The Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report is attached to this FA as Attachment D-2 in accordance with Attachment D – Project Reporting and Expenditure Guidelines.

9. Attachment E, the "FTIP Project Sheet (PDF)," is required to ensure that the Project is programmed correctly in the most up-to-date FTIP document. The FTIP Project Sheet (PDF) can be found in the ProgramMetro FTIP database under the Reports section at https://programmetro.ecointeractive.com/secure2/login. All Projects that receive funding through Measure M shall be evaluated to determine if they should be programmed into the FTIP for information and air quality modeling purposes. GRANTEE shall review the Project in ProgramMetro each year and update or correct the Project information as necessary during a scheduled FTIP amendment or adoption. GRANTEE will be notified of amendments and adoptions to the FTIP via e-mail. Changes to the FTIP through ProgramMetro should be made as soon as possible after GRANTEE is aware of any changes

to the Project, but no later than October 1st of the year the change or update is effective.

Should GRANTEE fail to meet this date, it may affect GRANTEE's ability to access funding, delay the Project, and may ultimately result in the Funds being lapsed.

10. LACMTA anticipates it may need to avail itself of lower cost bonds or other debt, the interest on which is tax exempt for federal tax purposes (collectively, the “Bonds") to provide at least a portion of its funding commitments under this Agreement to GRANTEE. GRANTEE shall ensure that the expenditure of the Funds disbursed to GRANTEE does not jeopardize the tax- exemption of the interest, as specified in the “Bond Requirements” attached as Attachment F to this Agreement. GRANTEE agrees to provide LACMTA with progress reports, expenditure documentation, and any other documentation as reasonably requested by LACMTA and necessary for LACMTA to fulfill its responsibilities as the grantee or administrator or bond issuer of the Funds. With regard to LACMTA debt financing to provide any portion of the Funds, GRANTEE shall take all reasonable actions as may be requested of it by LACMTA's Project Manager for the Project, to assist LACMTA in demonstrating and maintaining over time, compliance with the relevant sections of the Federal Tax Code to maintain such Bonds’ tax status.

11. GRANTEE and RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES shall comply with the Metro Complete Streets Policy, adopted October 2014. GRANTEE and RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES must have an adopted Complete Streets Policy, an adopted City/County Resolution supporting Complete Streets, or an adopted General Plan consistent with the California Complete Streets Act of 2008. This shall be demonstrated through completion of the “Complete Streets Self-Certification” form attached as Attachment G.

12. No changes to the (i) Grant amount, (ii) Project Funding, (iii) Scope of Work (except as provided herein), (iv) Final milestone date, or (v) Special Grant Conditions, shall be allowed without a written amendment to this FA, approved and signed by the LACMTA Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee and GRANTEE. Modifications that do not materially affect the terms of this FA, such as redistributing Funds among existing budget line items or non-material schedule changes must be formally requested by GRANTEE and approved by LACMTA in writing. Non-material changes are those changes which do not affect the grant amount or its schedule, Project Funding, or the Scope of Work, including the Work schedule.

9. USE OF FUNDS

9.1. GRANTEE shall utilize the Funds to complete the Project as described in the Scope of Work (Attachment C) and in accordance with the Project Reporting and Expenditure Guidelines (Attachment D), the specifications for use for the transportation purposes described in the Ordinance, the Guidelines, and the Metro Active Transport Program Administrative Procedures.

9.2. Attachment C shall constitute the agreed upon Scope of Work between LACMTA and GRANTEE for the Project. The Funds, as granted under this FA, can only be used towards the completion of the Scope of Work detailed in Attachment C.

9.3. GRANTEE shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or projects not specified in this FA. Further, GRANTEE shall not use the Funds for any expenses or activities above and beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment C) without an amendment to the FA approved and signed by the LACMTA Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee. To the extent LACMTA provides GRANTEE with bond or commercial paper proceeds, such funds may not be used to reimburse for any costs that jeopardize the tax-exempt nature of such financings as reasonably determined by LACMTA and its bond counsel.

9.4. GRANTEE must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If GRANTEE intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with GRANTEE’s contracting procedures and consistent with State law as appropriate. GRANTEE will also use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner when the Funds are used to pay “in-house” staff time. In-house staff time for administrative work (defined as work towards project management, invoicing, progress reporting, and quality assurance/control) shall be limited to ten percent (10%) of the total Project costs (the “Funds”) that are reimbursed. This effective use of funds provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.

9.5. GRANTEE’S and RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES’ employees, officers, councilmembers, board members, agents, or consultants (a “SPONSOR Party”) are prohibited from participating in the selection, award, or administration of a third-party contract or sub-agreement supported by the Funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. A conflict of interest would include, without limitation, an organizational conflict of interest or when any of the following parties has a

financial or other interest in any entity selected for award: (a) a SPONSOR Party; (b) any member of a SPONSOR Party’s immediate family; (c) a partner of a SPONSOR Party; or (d) any organization that employs or intends to employ any of the above.

This conflict-of-interest provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.

9.6. If a facility, equipment (such as computer hardware or software), vehicle, or property purchased or leased using the Funds ceases to be used for the proper use, as originally stated in the Scope of Work, or the Project is discontinued, any Funds expended for that purpose must be returned to LACMTA as follows: GRANTEE shall be required to repay the Funds in proportion to the useful life remaining and in an equal proportion of the grant to GRANTEE Funding Commitment ratio.

10. REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS

Funds will be released on a reimbursement basis in accordance with invoices submitted in support of the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports. LACMTA will make all disbursements electronically unless an exception is requested in writing. Reimbursements via Automated Clearing House (ACH) will be made at no cost to GRANTEE. GRANTEE must register in LACMTA’s iSupplier portal and submit an application before grant payments can be made. The link to the portal can be found at
http://media.metro.net/uploads/EBB/Vendor%20Portal%Registration.pdf. GRANTEE must provide detailed supporting documentation with its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports. GRANTEE Funding Commitment, if any, must be spent in direct proportion to the Funds with each quarter’s payment.

11. REPORTING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS/PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS

11.1. GRANTEE shall submit a draft of the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report (Attachment D-2) within sixty (60) days after the close of each quarter on the last day of the months November, February, May, and August to the LACMTA Project Manager for review and pre-approval of the applicable report. LACMTA Project Manager shall review and respond in writing to the draft Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt.

GRANTEE shall submit the LACMTA pre-approved Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report no later than five (5) days after receipt of LACMTA’s written approval.

Should GRANTEE fail to submit either the draft or pre-approved reports within five (5) days of the due date and/or submit incomplete reports, LACMTA will not reimburse GRANTEE until the completed required reports are received, reviewed, and approved. The Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report shall include all appropriate documentation (such as contractor invoices, timesheets, receipts, etc.), and any changes to interim milestone dates that do not impact the final milestone date. All supporting documents must include a clear justification and explanation of

their relevance to the Project. If no activity has occurred during a particular quarter, GRANTEE will still be required to submit the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report indicating no dollars were expended that quarter. If a request for reimbursement exceeds $500,000 in a single month, then GRANTEE can submit such an invoice once per month with supporting documentation. Expenses that are not invoiced to LACMTA Accounts Payable within ninety (90) days after the lapsing date specified in Part II, Section 14.1 below are not eligible for reimbursement.

11.2. GRANTEE shall submit the Project expenditure estimates for the subsequent fiscal year by February of each year. LACMTA will use the estimates to determine the Project budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

11.3. LACMTA, and/or its designee, shall have the right to conduct audits of the Project as deemed appropriate, such as financial and compliance audits, interim audits, pre-award audits, performance audits, and final audits. LACMTA will commence a final audit within six (6) months of receipt of an acceptable final invoice, provided the Project is ready for final audit (meaning all costs and charges have been paid by GRANTEE and invoiced to LACMTA, and such costs, charges, and invoices are properly documented and summarized in the accounting records to enable an audit without further explanation or summarization including actual indirect rates for the period covered by the FA period under review). GRANTEE agrees to establish and maintain proper accounting procedures and cash management records and documents in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GRANTEE shall reimburse LACMTA for any expenditure not in compliance with the Scope of Work and/or not in compliance with other terms and conditions of this FA. The allowability of costs for GRANTEE’s own expenditures submitted to LACMTA for this Project shall be in compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-87. The allowability of costs for GRANTEE’s contractors, consultants, and suppliers’ expenditures submitted to LACMTA through GRANTEE’s Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report shall be in compliance with OMB Circular A-87 or Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 31 and 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 225 (whichever is applicable). Findings of the LACMTA audit are final. When LACMTA audit findings require GRANTEE to return monies to LACMTA, GRANTEE agrees to return the monies within thirty (30) days after the final audit is sent to GRANTEE.

11.4. GRANTEE’s records shall include, without limitation, accounting records, written policies and procedures, contract files, original estimates, correspondence, change order files (including documentation covering negotiated settlements), invoices, and any other supporting evidence deemed necessary by LACMTA to substantiate charges related to the Project (all collectively referred to as “records”). Such records shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and reproduction by LACMTA auditors or authorized representatives to the extent

deemed necessary by LACMTA to adequately permit evaluation of expended costs. Such records subject to audit shall also include, without limitation, those records deemed necessary by LACMTA to evaluate and verify, direct and indirect costs, (including overhead allocations) as they may apply to costs associated with the Project. These records must be retained by GRANTEE for three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement. Payment of retention amounts shall not occur until after the LACMTA’s final audit is completed.

11.5. GRANTEE shall cause all contractors to comply with the requirements of Part II, Section 11, paragraphs 11.3 and 11.4 above. GRANTEE shall cause all contractors to cooperate fully in furnishing or in making available to LACMTA all records deemed necessary by LACMTA auditors or authorized representatives related to the Project.

11.6. LACMTA or any of its duly authorized representatives, upon reasonable written notice, shall be afforded access to all GRANTEE’s records and its contractors related to the Project, and shall be allowed to interview any employee of GRANTEE and its contractors through final payment to the extent reasonably practicable.

11.7. LACMTA or any of its duly authorized representatives, upon reasonable written notice, shall have access to the offices of GRANTEE and its contractors, shall have access to all necessary records (including reproduction) at no charge to LACMTA, and shall be provided adequate and appropriate workspace in order to conduct audits in compliance with the terms and conditions of this FA.

11.8. When business travel associated with the Project requires use of a vehicle, the mileage incurred shall be reimbursed at the mileage rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as indicated in the United States General Services Administration Federal Travel Regulation, Privately Owned Vehicle Reimbursement Rates.

11.9. GRANTEE shall be responsible for ensuring all contractors/subcontractors for the Project comply with the terms of the Ordinance, the Guidelines, and the Metro Active Transport Program Administrative Procedures.

2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, part 225, (whichever is applicable) and the terms and conditions of this FA.

11.11. GRANTEE shall also certify final costs of the Project to ensure all costs are in compliance with OMB A-87 or FAR subpart 31 and 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, part 225, (whichever is applicable) and the terms and conditions of this FA.

11.12. In addition to LACMTA’s other remedies as provided in this FA, LACMTA may withhold the Funds if the LACMTA audit has determined that GRANTEE failed to comply with the Scope of Work (such as misusing funds or failure to return funds owed to LACMTA in accordance with LACMTA audit findings) and/or is severely out of compliance with other terms and conditions as defined by this FA, including the access to records provisions of Part II, Section 11.

12. GRANT

This is a one-time only grant of the Measure M funds subject to the terms and conditions agreed to herein. This grant does not imply nor obligate any future funding commitment on the part of LACMTA.

13. SOURCES AND DISPOSITION OF FUNDS

13.1. The obligation for LACMTA to grant the Funds for the Project is subject to sufficient funds being made available for the Project by the LACMTA Board of Directors. If such funds are not made available as anticipated from Measure M Program revenues, LACMTA will have the right to adjust the cash flow accordingly until such funds become available. LACMTA shall have no obligation to provide any other funds for the Project, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by LACMTA.

13.2. GRANTEE shall fully fund and contribute the GRANTEE Funding Commitment, if any is identified in the Project Funding (Attachment A), towards the cost of the Project. If the Funds identified in Attachment A are insufficient to complete the Project, GRANTEE agrees to secure and provide such additional non-LACMTA programmed funds necessary to complete the Project.

13.3. GRANTEE shall be responsible for any and all cost overruns for the Project pursuant to Part II, Section 13.2.

13.4. GRANTEE shall be eligible for the Funds up to the grant amount specified in Part I, Section 2 of this FA subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

requirement, without the prior written consent of LACMTA. GRANTEE Funding Commitment dollars expended prior to the year the Funds are awarded shall be spent at GRANTEE’s own risk, or as delineated in a Letter of No Prejudice executed by the prospective GRANTEE and LACMTA.

13.5. If GRANTEE receives outside funding for the Project in addition to the Funds identified in the Project Funding and the Expenditure Plan at the time this grant was awarded, this FA shall be amended to reflect such additional funding. If, at the time of final invoice or voucher, funding for the Project (including the Funds, GRANTEE Funding Commitment, and any additional funding) exceeds the actual Project costs, then the cost savings shall be applied in the same proportion as the sources of funds from each party to this FA as specified in the Project Funding and both the Funds and GRANTEE Funding Commitment required for the Project shall be reduced accordingly. LACMTA shall have the right to use any cost savings associated with the Funds at its sole discretion, including, without limitation, programming the unused Funds to another project or to another grantee within the subregion in accordance with the Ordinance, the Guidelines, and the Metro Active Transport Program Administrative Procedures. If, at the time of final voucher, it is determined that GRANTEE has received funds in excess of what GRANTEE should have received for the Project, GRANTEE shall return such overage to LACMTA within thirty (30) days from final voucher.

14. TIMELY USE OF FUNDS / REPROGRAMMING OF FUNDS

14.1. GRANTEE must demonstrate timely use of the Funds by:

(i) Executing this FA within sixty (60) days of receiving formal transmittal of the FA from LACMTA, or by December 31st of the first Fiscal Year in which the Funds are programmed, whichever date is later; and
(ii) Procuring contract/consultant to complete project phase Scope of Work within six (6) months of Agreement or FA execution with Metro. (iii) Expending at least a portion of MAT Funds within twelve (12) months of the date of Agreement or FA execution. Use of Funds includes issuance of an award of a consultant contract or encumbrance of staff labor charges by GRANTEE.
(iv) Delivering Work in accordance with schedule, budget, and Scope of Work; changes to the aforementioned will require an Amendment to Attachment C to reflect updated milestone dates. Meeting the Project milestone due dates as agreed upon by the LACMTA and GRANTEE in Attachment C of this FA; and
(v) Submitting the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports as described in Part II, Section 11.1 of this FA; and

SCOPE OF WORK

CAPITAL PROJECT

PROJECT NAME: 1st-Riggin-Potrero Grande Corridor Project

PROJECT LOCATION/LIMITS/AREA:

The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). Th e project limits are on:

• W 1st St from Vancouver Ave to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd, • Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave

PROJECT DESCRIPTION INCLUDING METRO ACTIVE TRANSPORT PROGRAM AND PROJECT NEXUS:

The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools , and recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.

Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park, is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities, which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The proposed bike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los Angeles , part of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Access Phase II project. Missing sidewalks along Potrero Grande Dr discourages Active Transportation by forcing pedestrians to walk in the street. This project will provide greater accessibility and mobility for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users providing safe and productive alternative modes of travel.

Project Early Planning phase will include preparation of the Public Participation Plan (PPP).

This plan will be implemented throughout the project. Project Planning phase will include

1 ATTACHMENT F

BOND REQUIREMENTS

The provisions of this Attachment F apply only if and to the extent some or all of the Funds are derived from LACMTA issued Bonds or other debt, the interest on which is tax exempt for federal tax purposes (collectively, the "Bonds").

GRANTEE acknowledges that some or all of the Funds may be derived from Bonds, the interest on which is tax-exempt for federal tax purposes. GRANTEE further acknowledges its understanding that the proceeds of the Bonds are subject to certain ongoing limitations relating to the use of the assets financed or provided with such proceeds ("Project Costs" or "Project Components") in the trade or business of any person or entity other than a governmental organization (any such use by a person or entity other than a governmental organization is referred to as "Private Use"). Private Use will include any sale, lease or other arrangement pursuant to which a nongovernmental person or entity receives a legal entitlement of a Project Component and also includes certain agreements pursuant to which a nongovernmental person will operate or manage a Project Component. Each quarterly invoice submitted by GRANTEE to reimburse prior expenditures (or to be received as an advance) shall provide information regarding the specific Project Costs or Project Components to which the Funds which pay that invoice will be allocated and whether there is or might be any Private Use associated with such Project Costs or Project Components.

GRANTEE will, for the entire time over which LACMTA's Bonds or other debt remains outstanding, (1) notify and receive LACMTA' s approval prior to entering into any arrangement which will or might result in Private Use and (2) maintain records, including obtaining records from contractors and subcontractors as necessary, of all allocations of Funds to Project Costs or Project Components and any Private Use of such Project Costs or Project Components in sufficient detail to comply and establish compliance with Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or similar code provision then in effect and applicable, as determined by LACMTA in consultation with its bond counsel.

GRANTEE will designate one or more persons that will be responsible for compliance with the obligations described in this Attachment F and notify LACMTA of such designations.

5. Project Description:

The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project limits are on:

• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd, • Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave

The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.

Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The proposed bike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes alo ng 1st St in East Los

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY OF CITY OF MONTEREY PARK
A. Complete Streets Principles

1. Complete Streets Serving All Users and Modes. The City of Monterey Park (“City”) expresses its commitment to creating and maintaining Complete Streets that provide safe, comfortable, and convenient travel along and across streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions of the transportation system) through a comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves all categories of users, including pedestrians, users and operators of public transit, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, seniors, children, motorists, users of green modes, and movers of commercial good s, and emergency first responders.

2. Context Sensitivity. In planning and implementing street projects, the City will maintain sensitivity to local conditions in both residential and business districts as well as urban, suburban, and rural areas, and will work with residents, merchants, and other stakeholders to ensure that a strong sense of place ensues.

Improvements that will be considered include sidewalks, sh ared use paths, bikeways, paved shoulders, street trees and landscaping, planting strips, accessible curb ramps, crosswalks, refuge islands, pedestrian signals, signs, street furniture, bicycle parking facilities, public transportation stops and facilities , transit priority signalization, and other features assisting in the provision of safe travel for all users.

3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant departments and agencies of the City will work towards making Complete S treets practices a routine part of everyday operations, approach every relevant project, program, and practice as an opportunity to improve streets and the transportation network for all categories of users, and work in coordination with other departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation.

4. All Projects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable reasonably safe travel along and across the right of way for each category of users will be incorporated into all planning, funding, design, approval, and implementation processes for any construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, operations, alteration, or repair of streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions of the transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given category of users may be excluded if an exception is approved via the process set forth in section C.1 of this policy.

B. Implementation

1. Design. The City will generally follow its own accepted or adopted design standards, including those promulgated by the County of Los Angeles and the State of California where appropriate , and will also evaluate using the latest design standards and innovative d esign options, with a goal of balancing user needs.

2. Network/Connectivity. The City will incorporate Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets to improve the safety and convenience of all users, with the particular goal of creating a connected

network of facilities accommodating each category of users and increasing connectiv ity across jurisdictional boundaries and for anticipated future transportation investments.

3. Implementation Next Steps. The City may take the following specific next steps to implement this Complete Streets Policy:

A. Plan Consultation and Consistency: Maintenance, planning, and design of projects affecting the transportation system will be consistent with local bicycle, pedestrian, transit, multimodal, and other relevant guidelines.

B. Stakeholder Consultation: Dev elop and/or clearly define a process to allow for stakeholder involvement on projects and plans including, but not limited to, local bicycle and pedestrian advisory groups, transit riders and operators, accessibility advisory groups, movers of commercial goods, businesses, residents, emergency responders, and/or other stakeholders, as defined necessary to support implementation of this Complete Streets policy.

4. Performance Measures. The City will perform evaluations of how well the streets and transporta tion network are serving each category of users by collecting baseline data and collecting follow -up data on a regular basis.

C. Exceptions

1. Exception Approvals. Complete Streets principles and practices will be included in street construction, reconstruction, repaving and rehabilitation projects, as well as other plans and manuals, except under one or more of the following conditions:

A. A project involves only ordinary, or emergency maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable condition, including but not limited to mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair, pothole repair, or when interim measures are implemented on temporary detour or haul routes.

B. The City Manager or designee finds that the cost of establishing a bikeway, walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project is excessive and disproportionate.

C. The City Manager or designee determines that construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because of significant or adverse environmental impacts on neighboring land uses, including impact from right-of-way acquisitions.

D. Unless otherwise determined by the City Council, or by the Direc tor of Public Works, that it is not practically feasible or cost-effective to implement the provisions of this policy.

Exceptions described above will be documented in a memorandum to be included in the project file.

5. Project Description:

The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project limits are on:

• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd, • Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave

The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.

Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The proposed bike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes alo ng 1st St in East Los

1.3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant Departments of the City of Rosemead shall work towards making Complete Streets practices a routine part of everyday operations; approach every relevant project, program, and practices as an opportunity to improve streets and the transportation network for all categories of users; and work in coordination with other departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation. The following example project types provide opportunities: pavement resurfacing, restriping, accessing above and underground utilities, signalization operations or modifications, and maintenance of landscaping/ related features. In order to ensure coordination and compliance with this Complete Streets Policy across all Departments and Divisions, the City shall develop internal practices that guide routine staff actions and decisions. These

practices shall be developed and updated by the Public Works Department in partnership with other relevant City Departments and Divisions. The Director of Public Works shall identify one or more Complete Streets policy coordinator( s) within each Division or at the Department level to oversee implementation of and future updates to this Policy.

1.4. All Projects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable reasonably safe travel along and across the right of way for each category of users shall be incorporated into all planning, funding, design, approval, and implementation processes for any construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, operations, alteration, or repair of streets ( including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions of the transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given category of users may be excluded if an exemption is approved via the process set forth in Section 3.1 of this Policy.

2. Implementation.

2. 1. Plan consultation and Consistency. Maintenance, planning, and design of projects affecting the transportation system shall be consistent with applicable local bicycle, pedestrian, transit, multimodal, and/ or other relevant plans, except where such consistency cannot be achieved without negative consequences, and if the head of the relevant department provides written approval explaining the basis of such exemption.

Such exemption shall be presented to Traffic Commission to ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations.

2. 2. Design. City of Rosemead will generally follow its own adopted design standards, including Greenbook and Caltrans Highway Design Manual and California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and will also evaluate using the latest design standards and innovative design options with a goal of balancing user needs. The City shall continue to develop and regularly update and adhere to a set of roadway design guidelines that complies guidance from adopted plans, design manuals and local and national best practices, covering but not limited to the following topics: bikeway design; pedestrian design; traffic calming; roadway geometry signal operations; and other topics as deemed appropriate by the Director of Public Works. Wherever possible, specific dimensioned design details, cross- sections and plan views shall be provided for each of these elements.

2. 3. Street network/ Connectivity. As feasible, the City of Rosemead shall incorporate Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets to improve the safety and convenience of users and to create employment, with the particular goal of creating a connected network of facilities accommodating each category of users, and increasing

connectivity acrossjurisdictional boundaries and for existing and anticipated future areas of travel origination or destination.

2. 4. Traffic Commission Consultation. Transportation projects shall be reviewed by the Traffic Commission early in the planning and design stage to provide the Commission an opportunity to comment and recommend on Complete Street features to be incorporated into the project.

2. 5. Evaluation. All relevant Departments and Divisions shall perform annual programmatic evaluations of how well the streets and transportation network of the City of Rosemead are serving each category of users by collecting baseline data and collecting follow- up data on a regular basis. The Public Works Department shall develop appropriate performance metrics and annually assess the need to update them. These performance metrics shall be developed and updated in partnership with other relevant City Departments and Divisions as well as outside agencies.

3. Exemptions.

3.1. Leadership Approval for Exemptions. Projects that seek exemption from the Complete Streets Policy must provide written finding of why accommodations for all modes were not included in the project, and must receive written approval by the Public Works Director or their designated representative.

Based on the Federal Highway Administration exemption policy, exemptions to the Rosemead Complete Streets Policy may be granted if one of the following criteria is met:
a. Bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law from using the roadway. b. The cost of establishing bikeways or walkways would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use. In unusual circumstances, such as where natural features ( e. g., steep hillsides, shorelines) make it very costly or impossible to accommodate all modes, " excessively disproportionate" is defined as exceeding twenty percent of the cost of the larger transportation project. c. Where sparse population or other factors suggest an absence of need. For example, all construction or reconstruction of public streets must include sidewalk improvements on both sides, unless the street is a cul- de- sac with few dwellings or the street has severe topographic or natural resource constraints.

d. Transit accommodations are not required where there is no existing or planned transit service.
e. Routine maintenance of the transportation network that does not change the roadway geometry or operations, such as mowing, sweeping, and spot repair. f. Where a reasonable and equivalent project along the same corridor is already programmed to provide facilities exempted from the project at hand.

94 Chapter 7: Mobility Element
I. Introduction
The California Complete Streets Act of 2008 requires the General Plan to demonstrate how the County will provide for the routine accommodation of all users of a road or street, including pedestrians, bicyclists, users of public transit, motorists, children, seniors, and the disabled. The Mobility Element addresses this requirement with policies and programs that consider all modes of travel, with the goal of making streets safer, accessible and more convenient to walk, ride a bicycle , or take transit.

The Mobility Element provides an overview of the transportation infrastructure and strategies for developing an effici ent and multimodal transportation network. The Element assesses the challenges and constraints of the Los Angeles County transportation system, and offers policy guidance to reach the County’s long-term mobility goals. Two sub-elements—the Highway Plan and Bicycle Master Plan —supplement the Mobility Element. These plans establish policies for the roadway and bikeway systems in the unincorporated areas, which are coordinated with the networks in the 88 cities in Los Angeles County . The General Plan also establishes a program to prepare community pedestrian plans, with guidelines and standards to promote walkability and connectivity throughout the unincorporated areas.

II. Background
Los Angeles County has one of the largest transportation systems in the world. Despite continuing efforts to increase transportation services and build transportation infrastructure, transportation systems are heavily burdened by the demands of a growing population and a diversity of activities.

Transportation is also one of the biggest contributors of noise, and greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.

Regulatory Framework
Local agencies responsible for transportation services in Los Angeles County coordinate their activities to comply with the goals and policies of Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). SCAG is the federally designated regional transportation planning agency responsible for preparing the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). Metro is the county- level transportation planning agency responsible for the preparation of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The County, the 88 cities in Los Angeles County, and other transportation agencies engage in transportation planning activities by participating in the development and implementation of the RTP and LRTP.

The County participates in establishing policies, promoting specific projects, and funding the strategies in the RTP and the LRTP. Each Los Angeles County Supervisor is a member of the Metro Board of Directors, and two members of the Board of Supervisors serve on SCAG's Regional Council, and on the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) Board of Directors.

Metro is also the Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County and is responsible for implementing the Congestion Management Program (CMP). Metro is currently exploring the development of a countywide congestion mitigation fee program to improve transportation roadways including state facilities. This program, adopted locally by individual jurisdictions, would impose a fee

95 on new development that would be collected and spent locally on transportation projects that would help to ease regional congestion. For more information, please visit Metro’s web site at http://www.metro.net/projects/congestion_mgmt_pgm/.

Transportation Systems in Los Angeles County
Public Transit
Los Angeles County is served by a large public transit system that includes rail systems and various bus service options, such as transitways and bus rapid transit systems. Figure 7.1 depicts the major public transit systems in Los Angeles County.

Figure 7.1: Major Public Transit Systems Map
Rail
Metro operates the Metro rail system, which is exclusively within Los Angeles County. The Metro rail system consists of the following lines: Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold and Expo. The hub of the system is in Downtown Los Angeles at Union Station. The Metro lines that primarily serve the unincorporated areas include the Metro Blue, Green and Gold Lines. The Metro Blue Line stations that serve the unincorporated areas include: Slauson, Florence, Firestone, Willowbrook and Del Amo. The Aviation/LAX, Vermont, Hawthorne, and Rosa Parks stations along the Metro Green Line also serve the unincorporated areas. The Gold Line has five stations that serve the unincorporated areas: Indiana, Maravilla, East LA Civic Center, Atlantic and Sierra Madre Villa.

Two additional rail service operators that provide services in Los Angeles County are Metrolink and Amtrak. The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operates the 416-mile Metrolink commuter rail system, which has its hub in Downtown Los Angeles at Union Station and extends to Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties, and serves some of the unincorporated areas. There is one Metrolink station located in the unincorporated community of Acton, on the Antelope Valley Line. Amtrak provides interstate service from points around the country to Union Station, as well as regional service between major cities throughout California.

Bus
With many regional and municipal operators providing bus services, buses provide the majority of public transit service in Los Angeles County. Examples of these operators include Torrance Transit, Foothill Transit, Santa Clarita Transit, and the Antelope Valley Transit Authority. According to Metro’s 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan, the transit providers in Los Angeles County collectively operate 4,000 buses and serve 1.6 million bus riders daily.

The Metro bus system is the largest in Los Angeles County. Metro operates the Metro Rapid Bus service, which runs on select surface street corridors with fewer stops and electronic signal switching devices to expedite traffic flow, and the Metro Express Bus service, which are express bus routes for a portion of the route and then local or limited routes in other areas. Metro also operates two bus rapid transitways: the Orange Line and Silver Line. The Metro Orange Line operates on a dedicated bus lane in the San Fernando Valley and also includes a separated bike path that runs along part of the route. The Metro Silver Line operates betwe en Downtown Los Angeles and the Artesia Transit Center.

Furthermore, th e Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW) operates fixed route shuttle services in the following unincorporated areas: Willowbrook and King Medical Center Shuttle

96 services in Willowbrook; Athens Shuttle service in West Athens-Westmont; Lennox Shuttle service in Lennox; Florence-Firestone/Walnut Park Shuttle service in Florence-Firestone and Walnut Park; El Sol Shuttle service in East Los Angeles; Sunshine Shuttle service in South Whittier; Avocado Heights/Bassett/West Valinda Shuttle service in Avocado Heights, Bassett and West Valinda; East Valinda Shuttle service in East Valinda; Edmund D. Edelman’s Children’s Court Shuttle service in East Los Angeles; Los Nietos Shuttle service in Los Nietos; and Acton/Agua Dulce Shuttle service in Acton and Agua Dulce. For detailed information on these shuttle services, please visit http://www.lagobus.info. For data on monthly average boardings for the County shuttles, please refer to Appendix D.

Paratransit
Paratransit is an alternative mode of flexible transportation that does not follow fixed routes or schedules. Demand-responsive paratransit contractors are used to meet the needs of seniors and mobility-impaired individuals living in the unincorporated areas.

The Whittier paratransit service operating in the unincorporated communities of North Whittier, West Whittier–Los Nietos and South Whittier –Sunshine Acres has, on average, the highest number of monthly boardings at 3,207. Unincorporated East Los Angeles has the second highest demand with 2,049 boardings on average per month. For detailed information on the County’s paratransit services, please visit http:// www.lagobus.info. For additional data on average monthly boardings, please refer to Appendix D.

Bikeways
The State Vehicle Code allows roadways to be used by bicyclists. Therefore, the entirety of surfaced roadways, excluding freeways, may be used by the bicycling public even though they are not all identified as bikeways. However, the lack of public awareness and the safety concerns associated with road sharing create a need for bikeways with a grade separation, lane delineation, or designated trail/path construction for bicycle users.

Bicycle Master Plan
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Master Plan, adopted in March 2012, provides policy guidance for building a comprehensive bicycle network throughout the unincorporated areas. The Bicycle Master Plan identifies bikeways and transportation systems that are available for use by bicyclists, such as roadways with bike lanes or designated bike routes, and dedicated off-road bike paths, such as bike paths along the flood protection channels. The purpose of the Bicycle Master Plan is to: 1) guide the development of infrastructure, policies and programs that improve the bicycling environment; 2) depict the general location of planned bikeway routes; and 3 ) provide for a system of bikeways that is consistent with the General Plan.

The Bicycle Master Plan m aps depict bikeways along roadways in the unincorporated areas and along rivers, creeks, and flood protection facilities countywide. These bikeways may be used for both recreational use and commuter travel.

The Bicycle Master Plan also includes data on collisions involving bicyclists and motor vehicles in the unincorporated areas between the years 2004 and 2009. In total, there were 1,369 collisions, including 25 fatalities. One of the goals of the Bicycle Master Plan is to reduce the number of collisions by making bicycling more safe through the implementation of education programs and network improvements. For more detailed data on collisions in the unincorporated areas, please refer to Appendix D. To view the Bicycle Master Plan, including policies, programs, and the mapped

97 bicycle network, please visit DPW’s Bicycle Master Plan web site at http://dpw.lacounty.gov/go/bikeplan.

Pedestrian Networks
The diversity of communities in Los Angeles County creates distinct conditions, opportunities and challenges for pedestrians. There are a number of trails and paths that are available for use by pedestrians, such as sidewalks, hiking trails, over and under passes, and skywalks. Together, these systems constitute a network for accommodating pedestrian travel.

Community Pedestrian Plans
The County is committed to improving the environment to allow for increased alternative transportation uses. The General Plan includes a program to prepare community pedestrian plan s for the unincorporated areas that will set standards for sidewalks, street crossings, sidewalk continuity, street connectivity, and topography. The community pedestrian plans will emphasize the connectivity of pedestrian paths to and from public transportation, major employment centers, shopping centers, and government buildings.

For more information on community pedestrian plans, please refer to Program M-2, Community Pedestrian Plans in Chapter 16: General Plan Implementation Programs.

Freeway, Highway, and Local Road Networks
The highway network is comprised of the State Highway System, which consists of 915 freeway and highway miles, and includes U.S. Interstate freeways and state-maintained freeways and highways, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, and county and city highways. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the state agency responsible for the maintenance of freeways and highways. Caltrans estimates that on average there are more than 100 million vehicle miles traveled per day in Los Angeles County via the State Highway System. Figure 7.2 is a map of State Highways and Freeways System that serves Los Angeles County.

Figure 7.2: Highways and Freeways Map
The County is responsible for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of roads in the unincorporated areas, as well as in a number of local jurisdictions that contract with the County for these services. DPW maintains over 3,100 miles of major roads and local streets in the unincorporated areas and over 1,700 miles in 22 cities.

Highway Plan
The Los Angeles County Highway Plan provides policy guidance for building a comprehensive highway network throughout the unincorporated areas. The Highway Plan provides a highway system that is consistent with and supportive of the goals and policies outlined in the Land Use Element. More specifically, the Highway Plan maintains right- of-way corridors to ensure space for future facility improvements to accommodate alternative modes. This is important in urbanized areas, which often have limited room for expansion, but are in need of additional facilities and improvements, such as bike lanes, sidewalks, and bus service. This is also important in rural areas to accommodate trails and landscaping, which encourage active transportation, provide shade, and reduce runoff from pollutants.

The purpose of the Highway Plan is to: 1) depict the general location of planned highway routes; 2) provide a means for protecting highway rights-of-way within the unincorporated areas; 3) establish a

98 plan and process for coordinating highway policies with neighboring cities and counties; and 4) provide for a system of highways that is consistent with the General Plan.

The Los Angeles County Interdepartmental Engineering Committee (IEC), which is comprised of the Director of Planning, the Road Commissioner, and the County Engineer, is charged with maintaining the Highway Plan.

Figure 7.3 shows the Highway Plan, which includes locations of existing and proposed major arterial highways. Although the County has no jurisdiction over roads in the 88 cities, or the freeways and other state routes maintained by Caltrans, these roadways are included in the map for reference and visual continuity. The Highway Plan roadway classifications and descriptions are provided in Table

7.1. Figure 7.3: Highway Plan Policy Map
Table 7.1: Highway Plan Roadway Classifications
Classification Description
Major Highway This classification includes urban and rural highways that are of countywide significance and are, or are projected to be, the most highly traveled routes. These roads generally require four or more lanes of moving traffic, channelized medians and, to the extent possible, access control and limits on intersecting streets.

In urban areas, the typical right-of-way width for these highways is 100 feet.

Alternative major highway sections may be established by the County to accommodate features such as raised medians, bicycle facilities, and wider parkways with varying right-of-way widths.

In rural areas, major highways are intended to maintain a rural appearance (without curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to reflect the rural character of various communities throughout Los Angeles County. The typical right-of-way width of a rural major highway is 108 feet. Additional right-of-way may be required to accommodate other transportation uses. In addition, beyond the ultimate road right-of-way, there may be a need for additional dedications for trail purposes, to accommodate equestrian and other non-vehicular uses.

Secondary Highway This classification includes urban and rural routes that serve or are planned to serve an areawide or countywide function, but are less heavily traveled than major highways. Secondary highways also frequently act as oversized collector roads that feed the countywide system. In this capacity, the routes serve to remove heavy traffic from local streets, especially in residential areas. Access control, especially to residential property and minor streets, is desirable along these roads.

In urban areas, secondary highways generally have four lanes of vehicular traffic on 80 feet of right-of-way. However, configuration and width may vary with traffic demand and existing conditions. In a few cases, routes that carry major highway levels of traffic are classified as secondary highways because it is impractical to widen them to major highway standards. Alternative secondary highway sections may be established by the County to accommodate features such as raised medians, bicycle facilities, and wider parkways with varying right-of-way widths.

In rural areas, certain connector highways to and between rural communities are also classified as secondary highways. These highways are intended to maintain a rural appearance (without curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to reflect the rural character of various communities throughout Los Angeles County. The typical right-of-way

99 width of rural secondary highways is 86 feet. Additional right-of-way may be required to accommodate other transportation uses. In addition, beyond the ultimate road right-of-way, there may be a need for additional dedications for trail purposes, to accommodate equestrian and other non-vehicular uses.

Limited Secondary Highway This classification includes urban and rural routes that provide access to low-density areas.

In urban areas, limited secondary highways generally feature lower traffic volumes and multimodal transportation facilities. The typical right-of-way width of these highways generally ranges between 64-80 feet. Alternative secondary highway sections may be established by the County to accommodate features such as raised medians, bicycle facilities, and wider parkways with varying right-of-way widths.

In rural areas, limited secondary highways are generally located in rural communities and remote foothill, mountain and canyon areas. These highways are intended to maintain a rural appearance (without curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to reflect the rural character of various communities throughout Los Angeles County.

The typical right-of-way width of rural limited secondary highways is 64 feet.

Additional right-of-way width may be required to accommodate left-turn pockets and passing lanes may be provided when required for traffic safety. The right-of-way may be increased for additional improvements where traffic or drainage conditions warrant. In addition, beyond the ultimate road right-of-way, there may be a need for additional dedications for trail purposes, to accommodate equestrian and other non- vehicular uses.

Parkway This classification includes urban and rural routes that have park-like features either within or adjacent to the roadway. The right-of-way width required varies as necessary to incorporate these features, typically with a minimum of 80 feet.

Roadway improvements vary depending on the composition and volume of traffic carried.

Expressway This classification includes urban and rural controlled-access highways connecting communities. Expressways can generally accommodate six to ten traffic lanes and are intended for thru-traffic, featuring full or partial control of access. The right-of- way required varies as necessary to incorporate these features, but is typically 180 feet in width. Roadway improvements vary depending upon the composition and volume of traffic carried.

Level of Service
DPW uses level of service (LOS) to assess the congestion of roadways in the transportation system.

Based on a roadway’s volume -to-capacity ratio (the number of vehicles currently using the roadway compared to the ideal maximum number of vehicles that can efficiently use the roadway), a letter designation is assigned that represents the traffic flow conditions, or LOS. Letter designations “A” through “F” represent progressively declining traffic flow conditions. LOS designations indicate whether the roadways are operating in excess of their intended capacity. Acceptable LOS is determined on a case by case basis, but generally, Level D is the desired minimum LOS. In some instances, LOS below D will be deemed acceptable in order to further other General Plan goals and policies, such as those that protect environmentally sensitive areas, promote active transportation, and encourage infill development, particularly within the Transit Oriented Districts. For the freeway system, DPW will work closely with Caltrans to identify potential significant traffic impacts and traffic mitigations to alleviate traffic congestion within the unincorporated areas.

Table 7.2 provides the definitions for LOS A-F, which are based on the definitions in the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual.

100

Table 7.2: Level of Service Definitions
LOS Type of
Flow
Description
A Free flow Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver within the traffic stream. Control delay at intersections is minimal.

The travel speed exceeds 85% of the base free-flow speed.

B Stable flow The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and control delay at intersections is no significant. The travel speed is between 67% and 85% of the base free-flow speed.

C Stable flow The ability to maneuver and change lanes at midsegment locations may be more restricted than at LOS B. Longer queues at intersections may contribute to lower travel speeds. The travel speed is between 50% and 67% of the base free-flow speed.

D Approaching
unstable
flow
Small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in delay and decreases in travel speed. The travel speed is between 40% and 50% of the base free-flow speed.

E Unstable
flow
Significant delay is commonly experienced. The travel speed is between 30% and 40% of the base free-flow speed.

F Forced flow Congestion is likely occurring at intersections, as indicated by high delay and extensive queuing. The travel speed is 30% or less of the base free-flow speed.

Although DPW utilizes the above described LOS criteria for assessing the performance of, and determining impacts to, roadways, DPW is currently working on the development of a multimodal transportation planning function. This effort will ensure that transportation facilities are planned, designed, and maintained to provide safe and efficient mobility for all users. Please refer to Program M-4, Multimodal Transportation Planning Function in Chapter 16: General Plan Implementation Program, for more details.

Aviation Network
There are 15 public-use airports located in Los Angeles County and one military airport located on San Clemente Island, as shown in Figure 7.4. The majority of passenger air transportation is serviced through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank Airport, and the Long Beach Airport. Table 7.3 is a list of the airports and owners.

Freight Rail Network
Los Angeles County has an extensive rail network that is focused on the efficient and safe movement of goods throughout the region. An effective goods movement system requires the elimination of at-grade crossings, and the creation and operation of rail networks, such as the Alameda Corridor.

The Alameda Corridor is a 20-mile rail cargo corridor, with a 10-mile below-grade trench between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the central Los Angeles freight yard transfer stations.

The Alameda Corridor has been instrumental in efficiently transporting goods from the ports to inland transfer stations. The Alameda Corridor East Project, which is an extension of the Alameda Corridor Project, covers the area from central Los Angeles eastward 35 miles through the San Gabriel Valley, past Pomona and onward to the transcontinental rail network. The $910 million endeavor of mobility and safety improvements includes signalization upgrades, roadway widening, and 20 grade separations.

Figure 7.5 shows the freight and passenger rail lines that run throughout Los Angeles County.

Figure 7.5: Freight and Passenger Rail Lines Map

102

Interstate, Highways, and Local Roads
The six-county SCAG region has about 53,400 road miles traversing incorporated and unincorporated areas, 1,630 miles of which are interstate and freeway type. Sections of Interstate- 710, Interstate-605, State Route-60, and State Route-91 carry the highest volumes of truck traffic in the region, averaging over 25,000 trucks per day in 2008. Other major components of the regional highway network also serve significant numbers of trucks, including Interstate-5, Interstate-10, Interstate-15, and Interstate-210, with some sections carrying over 20,000 trucks per day. These roads carry a mix of local, domestic trade, and international cargoes. The arterial roadway system also plays a critical role, providing “last mile” connections to the ports, manufactur ing facilities, intermodal terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers.

Supportive Facilities
Harbors
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are key links in the global economy and can handle a variety of cargo, including containers, bulk products, and automobiles. Combined, they are one of the largest and most efficient international shipping ports in the country, and the fifth busiest container port in the world. According to SCAG, the ports handled just under 120 million metric tons of cargo imports and exports, valued at $336 billion in 2010. The ports also serve as a significant tourism driver, as the largest cruise ship terminal on the West Coast, serving over a million passengers per year.

Parking
A limited number of public parking lots are maintained in the unincorporated areas by a variety of agencies, including Caltrans, Metro, the Los Angeles County Departments of Beaches and Harbors, and DPW. Metrolink and Caltrans maintain park-and-ride lots adjacent to commuter rail stops. The County owns and operates the following four park-and-ride lots: Studio City (Ventura Boulevard); Pomona (Fairplex); San Dimas (Via Verde); and Acton (Acton/Vincent Grade Metrolink Station).

The County regulates on-street parking in certain high-traffic areas through restricted parking zones enforced by the Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol. In addition, the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning regulates
parking for new developments by requiring an
adequate number of spaces to meet anticipated demand.

Terminals
Terminal facilities provide multiple uses, from park- and-ride lots for daily commuter vehicles to the heavily used freight terminals that serve the ports. Fierce competition among West Coast cities for international trade business has led to the planning and construction of an efficient terminal network.

The most notable terminal facilities are the intermodal terminal networks located in and around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the goods transfer stations located near Downtown Los Angeles, and several freight and trucking facilities in the City of Industry.

III. Issues

1. Providing Streets That Accommodate All Users
Historically, transportation planning and street design have focused on the efficient movement of automobiles and not on the travel needs of pedestrians, equestrians, and bicyclists. In order to

103

create more welcoming places to walk, ride and bicycle, as well as to take transit, more emphasis needs to be placed on these other viable modes of transportation. Furthermore, transportation corridor designs should accommodate all users, including children, seniors, and the disabled.

Aesthetics and function are also important considerations when creating comfortable places to walk, bicycle, and take transit. This can include landscaping, street furniture, and amenities, such as benches and shelters at transit stops.

In a jurisdiction as diverse as the unincorporated areas, the approach to complete streets must be flexible and street designs must be context-sensitive. For example, complete streets in rural areas, such as the Antelope Valley, could look and feel very different from complete s treets in urban
communities, such as Willowbrook and Florence-Firestone.

2. Creating a Multimodal Transportation System
Single occupant vehicle use is associated with the highest level of land consumption among all transportation modes, and generates the highest level of environmental impacts. Estimates from the American Community Survey suggest that 74 percent of residents in the unincorporated areas drive alone to work, compared with 13 percent that carpool and 6 percent that use public transportation.

The percentages for walking and bicycling are even lower, at less than 2 percent each. To encourage alternative modes and discourage single occupant vehicle use, the County can facilitate an interconnected, multimodal network of streets, equestrian trails, alleys, paths, greenways, and waterways where people can choose to walk, bicycle, ride, take transit or drive. The key to achieving a functional and sustainable multimodal transportation system is to provide efficient connections between different modes. For example, bicyclists can conveniently travel to farther destinations if they have the option to board the transit system with their bicycles. Multimodal options, such as bicycling and walking are cost-effective, energy efficient and healthy alternatives to driving.

Additionally, creating bike-friendly and walkable communities is a critical component in meeting the County’s greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction goals, while enhancing vibrant, livable communities.

Mobility management is an important component of a multimodal transportation system. Highway congestion results in major social costs, and long travel times and congestion increase energy and oil usage, exacerbate automobile emissions, and diminish the region’s quality of life. In addition, long delays and congestion negatively impact the region’s economy . According to SCAG, by failing to address congestion in the region, jobs have been lost–-every 10 percent decrease in congestion can bring an employment increase of about 132,000 jobs.

Mobility management is an important strategy for improving congestion and reducing VMTs. Mobility management strategies are designed to be used alone, or in concert with other policies to have a cumulative effect on the efficiency of the transportation system. Such strategies include the use of technologies in the development of transportation facilities and infrastructure, such as liquid and compressed natural gas, and hydrogen gas stations, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and electric car plug-in ports. Mobility management also refers to transportation demand management (TDM), which includes strategies that change travel behavior and discourage the single occupant driver, such as offering employer-based transit passes or increasing transit availability; regional carpooling programs; and parking management. One of the most effective TDM strategies is arguably congestion pricing.

Achieving a multimodal transportation system will require a greater investment in transit, pedestrian, and bicycle infrastructure. New proposals, such as tolling major freeways, double-decking highways, and/or raising the gas tax, all have varying levels of political and popular support. However, paying for transportation infrastructure will remain a critical planning issue. To plan efficient, functional and

104

cost-effective transportation networks, including public transit, roadways, and alternative transportation, the County should leverage investment with the planning, financing and management of other jurisdictions’ transportation efforts. The County must work with transportation planning agencies on infrastructure, capital improvements and programming in areas where the General Plan focuses growth.

3. Connecting Transportation and Land Use Planning
For any transportation system to be effective, healthy and sustainable, all aspects–streets, freeways, public transit, highways, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and freight movement –must be coordinated with land use planning. Land use and mobility are inherently linked. For example, sprawling single use development encourages driving. In another example, denser, communities with a mix of land uses that encourage transit use, walking, and bicycling are healthier and sustainable.

Land use planning and urban design are important factors in developing transit use and multimodal transportation options. Historically, streets have been designed to move the maximum amount of automobile traffic. Congested roadways and high on-street parking demand create insufficient space to accommodate bike lanes. In addition, a frequent complaint of bicyclists is the absence of adequate facilities to secure bicycles at public and private buildings or facilities. Many of the commercial corridors in mature urbanized areas are underutilized and in need of redevelopment.

Strengthening mixed land uses and promoting compact development in these areas, in concert with design standards for rights- of-way, can help encourage walking and bicycling for shorter trips, as well as make transit more accessible. This is certainly true in the first-last mile connection to transit , which is the portion of a transit trip between a transit stop and one’s final destination . At its April 2014 meeting, the Metro Board approved the First Last Mile Strategic Plan and Planning Guidelines, which aims to “better coordinate infrastructure investments in station areas to extend the reach of transit, with the ultimate goal of increasing ridership. ” The First Last Mile Strategic Pl an details an extensive toolbox of pedestrian and cycling facilities that would make it safer and more convenient for riders to walk and bike to and from a transit stop. The strategies and tools identified in th is Strategic Plan should be considered and utilized by the County, when feasible, during future planning efforts within the Transit Oriented Districts. The First Last Mile Strategic Plan is available online at: http://media.metro.net/docs/sustainability_path_design_guidelines.pdf. Finally, a n important consideration in rural areas is to ensure that land uses account for equestrian uses, including the development of feeder trails and regional trails, to address equestrian mobility issues.

Because of the nature and financing of regional transportation networks, transportation planning is fragmented among many jurisdictions, agencies and County departments. Effective inter- jurisdictional collaboration, and public-private partnerships are essential to creating an efficient and multimodal transportation network.

4.Safe and Efficient Movement of Goods
The safe and efficient movement of goods is an important mobility issue that significantly impacts the economy. Goods movement has been negatively impacted by inefficient transportation networks.

The ports, airports, rail lines and intermodal transit terminals have existing capacity constraints that undermine the efficiency and productivity of the goods movement system. In addition, the existing roadway and rail networks are reaching capacity. As a result, the system is susceptible to disruptions, which causes delays that reduce the quality of services and increase costs to consumers. Furthermore, the roadways and rail networks that accommodate the movement of goods are shared by motorists and passengers, which raises additional concerns over efficiency and safety.

105

The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are heavily investing in infrastructure to handle a projected doubling of container volumes. However, the ports have also been identified as one of the largest sources of air pollution in the region. In addition, terminal operations and supporting infrastructure are consumptive land uses, and are often characterized as having heavily polluting activities. The ports have created a Clean Air Action Plan in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District to reduce emissions related to port operations.

The 2012–2035 RTP/SCS describes a goods movement system with initiatives and projects totaling nearly $50 billion through 2035 for SCAG’s six -county region, including Los Angeles County. Key regional initiatives include a comprehensive system of zero- and/or near-zero-emission freight corridors, alleviation of major bottlenecks, a rail package totaling approximately $12 billion, and an environmental strategy to address emissions through both near term initiatives and a long term action plan for technology advancement. The comprehensive system of zero- and/or near-zero- emission freight corridors includes Interstate- 710. The rail package includes main line capacity enhancements, on-dock and near-dock rail facility improvements, and 71 grade separations. In addition, critical projects to facilitate access to the ports (e.g., improvements to the Gerald Desmond Bridge), and to alleviate congestion at critical border crossings, are underway.

Regional Clean Freight Corridor System
In past RTPs, SCAG has envisioned a system of truck-only lanes extending from the ports to Downtown Los Angeles along Interstate-710, connecting to an east-west segment, and finally reaching Interstate
-15 in San Bernardino County. Such a system would address the growing truck traffic on core highways throughout the region and serve key goods movement industries in a manner that mitigates impacts on communities and the environment.

East-West Freight Corridor
The 2012–2035 RTP/SCS identifies a corridor concept that connects to the north end of the I-710 freight corridor and roughly parallel the Union Pacific Railroad Los Angeles Subdivision before finally following a route adjacent to SR-60 just east of SR-57. The potential use of two non-roadway routes provides an opportunity to move the facility away from neighborhoods and closer to the industrial activities that it would serve. Utilizing a right- of-way of approximately 100 feet, the bi-directional corridor would be restricted to truck traffic and have limited ingress/egress points. The East-West Freight Corridor would be a catalyst for the use of zero-and/or near-emission truck technologies, improving air quality for communities near the corridor and throughout the region.

Bottleneck Relief
The 2012 RTP/SCS allocates an estimated $5 billion toward goods movement bottleneck relief strategies. Examples of bottleneck relief strategies include ramp metering, extension of merging lanes, ramp and interchange improvements, capacity improvements, and auxiliary lane additions.

Additional project concepts will continue to be refined through SCAG’s Comprehensive Regi onal Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy.

Truck Corridors and Localized Arterials
While SCAG’s effort is regional in scope, Metro is working to identify a County-Wide Strategic Truck Arterial Network (CSTAN) for Los Angeles County. The CSTAN will be informed by collection of data including truck counts on arterials, existing truck routes, connectivity to goods movement facilities, the location of bottlenecks, identification of land uses along truck routes and where they overlap with active transportation areas. The information is expected to guide funding priorities for projects such

106

as roadway widening, road repair and intersection improvements while minimizing potential conflicts between trucks and active transportation facilities.

While truck route studies have been performed at the council of government level, Metro is coordinating a countywide effort in recognition that truck routes frequently traverse subregions. As a key stakeholder and steward of public rights- of-way in the unincorporated areas, DPW serves as a technical advisor to the CSTAN program.

Air Travel and Cargo
SCAG expects air travel in the region to continue to grow. LAX, for instance, is the sixth busiest airport in the world and third busiest in the United States, offering more than 565 daily flights to 81 domestic cities and more than 1,000 weekly nonstop flights to 66 international destinations on more than 75 air carriers. It ranks 13th in the world in the amount of air cargo tonnage handled. In 2010, LAX served more than 59 million passengers, processed more than 1.9 million tons of air cargo valued at nearly $84 billion, and handled 575,835 aircraft operations (landings and takeoffs).

A $4.11 billion capital improvement program is underway at LAX, generating nearly 40,000 local jobs. The program’s centerpiece is the $1.5 -billion Bradley West Project with new gates for the latest-generation aircraft; new concourses and seating areas; new retail and food and beverage offerings; and expanded areas for more efficient security screening, immigration and customs processing. There also are several major airfield and facility projects, including a new Central Utility Plant, new taxiways and taxi lanes, and mul ti-million-dollar renovations --undertaken by both Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and the airlines--to other terminals.

5. Impacts of Transportation on Natural and Community Resources Transportation systems, goods movement activities, and automobile use directly affect quality of life.

This includes traffic congestion, truck intrusion into neighborhoods, safety, land use incompatibility, poor air quality and related health impacts, restricted mobility and delay at rail crossings, noise and vibration impacts, and visual impacts. Significant short- and long-term air quality impacts directly result from goods movement activities, such as emissions from ocean ships, diesel trucks, as well as increased auto-emissions, which in turn contributes to climate change.

The expansion and operation of transportation systems, which invariably affect biological resources and water quality, can be mitigated to lessen the negative impacts on resources. One key ecological issue is the effect of increased runoff from paved surfaces, which increases sediment movement, destroys aquatic habitat, and redistributes road-source pollutants. A second crucial ecological issue is potential negative impacts of human transportation systems on biological resources. Human transit is often responsible for transporting non-native species to ecosystems that do not have any natural defenses against the new threats. At the same time, transit infrastructure creates physical barriers across wildlife habitats and corridors that can reduce the mobility of local species, contribute toward mortality, and threaten genetic diversity. As discussed in the Public Services and Facilities Element, the majority of stormwater runoff is discharged directly into the Pacific Ocean. The General Plan provides policies that support transportation systems that treat and infiltrate stormwat er runoff to mitigate the environmental impacts of the runoff.

Model Design Manual for Living Streets
The Model Design Manual for Living Streets is a valuable resource for local jurisdictions looking to create streets that are safe and comfortable for all users and all modes. It outlines various design features that not only accommodate

114

cars, but also pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders. Street design features that help to create vibrant and attractive streets are also outlined in the manual.

The manual was funded by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation.

For more information please visit: http://www.modelstreetdesignmanual.com/ Green Streets
Green streets is a sustainable stormwater management and landscaping strategy that utilizes a combination of increased permeable surfaces and planted areas, soil filtration, vegetative bio-retention and underground stormwater retention basins to maximize groundwater recharge. Green streets not only improve water quality and drainage, but also improve mobility and promote complete streets through traffic calming. They also enhance the pedestrian experience through sustainable landscaping, such as bio-swales, street trees, rain gardens, and planters.

CLOSEOUT REPORTING POLICY FORM
Grantees are required to establish project goals and to identify basic performance indicators to be collected in order to measure the effectiveness of the projects. Grantees will be asked to collect and submit data and a Closeout Report to LACMTA upon completion of the project.

Evaluations will need to be completed before and after projects are constructed. The costs for project evaluation shall be included in the project budget. At minimum, projects will be evaluated for their effectiveness in improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety and enhancing connectivity and mobility. Additionally, projects will be evaluated against the specific goals and objectives established in this program, including those related to innovative partnership and project delivery. Examples of the methods of evaluation are detailed below. • Safety: Projects will aim to reduce the occurrence and severity of vehicle-pedestrian and vehicle-bicyclist crashes. Progress towards this goal can be measured by evaluating collisions and the details surrounding them, including where they occurred, when they occurred, who was involved, and what precipitating actions took place. Progress towards this goal also can be evaluated qualitatively through user interface surveys (e.g., assessing perceived safety of walking and bicycling).

Resources: Transportation Injury Mapping System and Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).
• Connectivity/Mobility: Projects will aim to increase the number and percent of people walking or bicycling, and/or accessing transit on foot or bike. Progress towards this goal can be measured by counting the number of pedestrians and bicyclists using the constructed facilities. Bicycle and pedestrian counts should be taken on a mid-weekday and weekend, excluding winter months. The "after" counts should not be taken until six (6) months after the completion of the project. Bicycle and pedestrian count data should be uploaded to the SCAG/Metro Bike Count Data Clearinghouse. Progress towards this goal also can be measured by counting the number of households within a quarter-mile of a low-stress bicycle facility, the number of jobs within a quarter-mile of a low-stress bicycle facility, and the number of destinations (e.g., schools, medical centers, parks, etc.) within a quarter-mile of a low-stress bicycle facility. Progress towards this goal also can be evaluated qualitatively through user interface surveys.
• Project Partnerships and Delivery Approaches: Cycle 1 places a strong emphasis on innovative/experimental project partnerships and delivery. This priority can be evaluated through the assessment of project delivery timelines, as well as compiling and analyzing qualitative input from project sponsors and participants.

5. Project Description:

The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project limits are on:
• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd, • Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave
The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb r amps, and crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by incr easing existing bicycle transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated South San Ga briel, Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.

Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The proposed bike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los Angeles part of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Access Phase II project. Missing sidewalks along Potrero Grande Dr discourages Active Transportation by forcing pedestrians to walk in the street. This project will provide greater accessibility and mobility for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users providing safe, productive alternative modes of travel. Identify participating agencies roles and responsibilities.
