Title
ADOPT Inglewood First/Last Mile Plan.
Issue
ISSUE
In August 2016, Metro and the City of Inglewood (City) entered into the Crenshaw Light Rail Transit Project Measure R Local Match Financial Contribution Agreement (Agreement). In the Agreement, the City committed a portion of its 3% local match contribution to implement FLM improvements to stations. The Inglewood First/Last Mile Plan (Plan) documents community-identified first/last mile (FLM) improvements around three future Crenshaw/LAX Line stations (Fairview Heights, Downtown Inglewood, Westchester/Veterans) and one existing Green Line station (Crenshaw). Adoption of the Plan by the Metro Board and subsequently by the City of Inglewood City Council will position City staff to identify those FLM improvements to be implemented in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
Background
BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2016, the Board established new FLM activities and expanded FLM planning and implementation through Board Motion 14.1 and 14.2. FLM planning is part of efforts to increase ridership by improving transit riders' ability to safely and conveniently access transit stations.
The Agreement required that the City complete $6 million of FLM improvements that serve the City's light rail stations, within six years of the Agreement's approval by the Board. The Agreement prompted the development of the Plan.
The Plan puts forth a list of proposed FLM projects, based on and considering the ongoing development and transportation changes occurring in the area. The Plan's recommendations recognize and complement existing and committed efforts around the City.
An executive summary along with excerpts of the Plan is included as Attachment A to this Board report. The full Plan can be accessed via the web at this link: http...
