Meeting_Body SYSTEM SAFETY, SECURITY AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MAY 18, 2017 Subject/Action SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES ARTS DISTRICT CONNECTIVITY ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE this report on Metro's long-term needs at Division 20 in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District and the accommodations necessary for a potential future Arts District passenger rail station. Issue ISSUE At the January 26, 2017 Board meeting, a Motion was passed (Attachment A) directing staff to initiate a holistic assessment of Metro's long-term needs at Division 20. This facility is the maintenance and storage yard for the rail cars serving the Metro Red and Purple Line subway system. The yard is located just south of Union Station in the Arts District adjacent to the Los Angeles River. The Motion stated: * "MTA's first priority for Division 20 must be to support the Purple Line Extension. However, Metro should do everything possible to extend rail service to the Arts District" and; * "Work with the City of Los Angeles to develop creative strategies to establish innovative funding mechanisms dedicated to off-set the costs of new stations in the Arts District." This report provides an overview of projects under development in Division 20 that are required to support the growing Red and Purple Line subway system. In addition, other non-subway transportation projects are identified that are also expanding services into this area. The report provides a framework for a possible Metro rail station in or adjacent to the yard and includes a preliminary discussion of the accommodations necessary to provide for such a station. Discussion DISCUSSION Below is a summary and status update on the various interrelated Metro operations investments planned or considered along the Division 20 Corridor, as further depicted in Attachments B and C.
