The Eastside Access Project is a Measure R funded project with a voter approved $30 million allocation. The funding is intended to improve multi-modal linkages and enhancements from the Gold Line Eastside stations to the surrounding neighborhoods. A portion will be dedicated to the improvements within a one-mile radius of the 1st and Central Station of the Regional Connector Rail Line.

During the development of the project, the series of public improvements (including pedestrian, bicycle and streetscape) per Attachment B to improve access within a one-mile radius of the 1st and Central Station were identified and included in the Connect US Action Plan. The series of improvements within public Right-of-Way (ROW) were then submitted for consideration and awarded TIGER VI funding of $11,800,000 by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in September 2015 to construct the first and last mile improvements. The project total is $16,800,000, inclusive of the $5,000,000 local match.

To proceed with the 1st and Central Station Improvement Project, staff requires design services (preliminary and final design) and construction support to provide assistance to the City of Los Angeles who will construct the improvements within their publicly owned ROW.
