RECEIVE AND FILE Countywide Planning & Development Major Projects Status Report.
Issue
ISSUE
Countywide Planning and Development’s major projects status report provides highlights of capital projects in planning phases of development. These include transit corridor projects such as rail and bus rapid transit, Measure M active transportation corridor projects, and highway projects.
Background
BACKGROUND
Metro’s mission is to provide a world-class transportation system that enhances the quality of life for all who live, work, and play within Los Angeles County. Countywide Planning and Development (CPD) oversees the planning of major capital projects to support this mission. The attached Project Status Report (Attachment A) provides an update on the planning progress of Metro’s four Pillar Projects - Southeast Gateway Line, C (Green) Line Extension to Torrance, Sepulveda Transit Corridor, and Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2, as well as other transit and active transportation corridor projects.
In addition, the quarterly report also includes complete streets and highway projects in various stages of development. At the request of Director Horvath this quarter, this report also includes an update from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on safety improvement projects that are planned on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
Discussion
DISCUSSION
The status report provides a quarterly update on major projects as they advance through alternatives and feasibility analyses, technical analyses for environmental certification, selection of preferred projects, cost estimation and funding development, and evaluation of project delivery method. Following environmental planning milestones, projects typically transition from CPD to Program Management and are included in the Program Management Major Project Status report, which is provided on a quarterly basis to the Metro Board’s Construction Committee.
Equity_Platform
EQUITY PLATFORM
This report is provided on a regular basis and includes updates for multiple projects, including equity assessments. Equity assessments for all reports in this quarterly update were previously provided as baseline summaries which included descriptions of potential project benefits to EFCs, and which found no unmitigated project equity impacts. There are no updates or changes to those project equity assessments this quarter.
Implementation_of_Strategic_Plan_Goals
IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
The development of projects included in this report supports Strategic Plan Goal #1 by delivering high quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time traveling.
Next_Steps
NEXT STEPS
Staff will continue to advance these projects through the planning phases. The next quarterly update will be provided in July 2024.
