Title

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 transit, active transportation corridor and complete streets and highway projects in various stages of development.

 

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.

 

As requested by Director Horvath, updates on the Pacific Coast Highway projects in the City of Malibu as well as an update from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on the Pacific Coast Highway Master Plan remain in this quarter’s report.

EQUITY PLATFORM

 

Because this report is provided on a regular basis and includes status updates for multiple projects, equity assessments are provided as baseline summaries with subsequent updates when equity conditions change. Next quarter, any equity-related developments will be included in an attachment with a refreshed set of baseline assessments for all projects.
