ISSUE

This item provides responses to the tasks included in the January 2022 Motion 10 (Attachment A) by Directors Hahn, Solis, Garcetti, Mitchell and Dutra (Legistar File# 2022-0023), as requested by the Board.

BACKGROUND

At its January 2022 meeting, the Board received the Draft EIS/EIR for the WSAB Project, approved Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) as the northern terminus, and also approved the 14.8-mile Slauson/A Line to Pioneer route as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the project's initial segment between Artesia and Downtown Los Angeles. The Board further directed staff to conduct additional technical analysis to identify a cost-effective alignment route for the Slauson/A Line (Blue) to LAUS segment and to identify interim bus connections to connect Slauson/A Line (Blue) to LAUS.

At the January 2022 meeting, the Board also approved a motion by Directors Hahn, Solis, Garcetti, Mitchell, and Dutra (Motion 10) directing that the Board adopt as policy that the full WSAB project will be declared complete once it provides a single seat ride connecting the City of Artesia (Pioneer Boulevard) to LAUS via rail. The motion also included tasks for staff to initiate to ensure the full completion of the WSAB Project. The Board has requested that staff provide a status update on these tasks at the April 2022 Board Meeting.
