• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard (a.m. peak hour); • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard (p.m. peak hour); • Bundy Drive/Olympic Boulevard (a.m. and p.m. peak hours); • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard (p.m. peak hour); • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (a.m. peak hour); • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (a.m. peak hour); • Fairfax Avenue/Olympic Boulevard (a.m. and p.m. peak hours); and • Crenshaw Boulevard/Olympic Boulevard (a.m. peak hour).

As shown in Tables 6‐8 and 6‐9, impacts occur both east and west of the City of Beverly Hills. In Project Alternative A‐2, construction of the bus lane would only occur east of the City of Beverly Hills. Therefore, the number of traffic impacts west of the City of Beverly Hills would be reduced under this alternative compared to the other alternatives. However, some traffic impacts would remain at study intersections


Page 62


west of the City of Beverly Hills. In general, these impacts are due to traffic pattern shifts resulting from a decrease in the usage of Wilshire Boulevard for long‐distance trips under this alternative. Because of the reduction in capacity for mixed‐flow traffic on Wilshire Boulevard east of Beverly Hills caused by the implementation of the bus lane, long‐distance trips tend to shift away from Wilshire Boulevard. Some of these long‐distance trips would otherwise have also used Wilshire Boulevard west of Beverly Hills. Once these trips are removed from Wilshire Boulevard, more capacity is made available for other trips on Wilshire Boulevard west of Beverly Hills, because there is no capacity reduction in that area. Over time, trips will be attracted from other arterials to make use of this newly available capacity on Wilshire Boulevard. The turning movements of some of these trips from the roadways where they begin their journey to then travel to Wilshire Boulevard are creating many of the impacts observed under Project Alternative A‐2 west of Beverly Hills. For example, at the intersection of Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard, the eastbound right‐turn movement and the northbound left‐turn movements increase under Project Alternative A‐2, as some traffic uses Veteran Avenue to shift between Sunset Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard. The impacts created by this turning traffic under Project Alternative A‐2 are less than the impacts created under the other alternatives, but they nonetheless remain significant according to the impact criteria applicable to this project.

7.0 YEAR 2020 CONDITIONS This section analyzes year 2020 traffic conditions, with and without the Proposed Project. Year 2020 traffic volumes were developed as described above in the “Analysis Methodology” section. The year 2020 transportation network assumes construction of the Exposition Line Phase 2 project and the I‐405 HOV lane project. In addition, year 2020 intersection configurations include:

• Addition of a second northbound left‐turn lane at the San Vicente Boulevard/Wilshire Boulevard intersection as the result of a project funded by Cedars‐Sinai Medical Center.

• Signal phasing modifications at the Beverly Glen Boulevard/Wilshire Boulevard intersection planned by LADOT.

• Addition of a second northbound and second southbound left‐turn lane at the Sepulveda Boulevard/Wilshire Boulevard intersection as a result of the I‐405 HOV lane project.

7.1 YEAR 2020 WITHOUT PROJECT LEVELS OF SERVICE Year 2020 without project peak hour volumes are shown in Figure 7‐1. A level of service analysis was conducted to evaluate year 2020 without project intersection operations. Detailed level of service calculations can be found in Appendix B. Table 7‐1 presents the year 2020 without project intersection operating conditions during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours at the 74 study intersections.

8.0 BUS LANE TRANSITION LOCATIONS Along the Wilshire Boulevard BRT route, LACMTA buses will transition into and out of mixed‐flow travel lanes at certain locations, depending on downstream roadway capacity changes and jurisdictional boundaries. This section describes these locations and recommendations to provide a smooth transition between buses and mixed‐flow traffic. These locations vary between the Proposed Project and the three project alternatives, and are discussed below. At each of these locations, it is proposed that signage such as fixed message signs or Changeable Message Signs (CMS) be installed.

8.1 PROPOSED PROJECT CONDITIONS The following summarizes the transitional locations along the BRT route in the eastbound direction under Proposed Project conditions:

• Between the I‐405 Northbound Off‐ramps and Veteran Avenue, mixed‐flow capacity will drop from four lanes to three lanes as the bus lane occupies the curb lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard in the vicinity of Veteran Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At Comstock Avenue, the mixed‐flow capacity will drop from three lanes of traffic west of Comstock Avenue to two lanes of traffic east of Comstock Avenue. Along the curb lane east of Comstock Avenue, a transition area of approximately 300 feet will be provided to allow through traffic to exit the bus lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard near Comstock Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At the western Beverly Hills City limits (approximately 500 feet west of the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection), the bus lane transitions to a mixed flow lane. Therefore, three eastbound through lanes will remain at the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection. The Proposed Project will not reduce capacity at this intersection, nor will the number of queued vehicles increase. However, the length of queues may increase because vehicles will be traveling in two lanes instead of three as they enter the City of Beverly Hills.

• East of San Vicente Boulevard (City of Beverly Hills boundary), a transition area of approximately 300 feet will be provided to allow through traffic to exit the bus lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard near San Vicente Boulevard to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At Park View Street, the mixed‐flow capacity will drop from two lanes of traffic west of Park View Street to one lane of traffic east of Park View Street. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard near Park View Street to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours

The following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the westbound direction under Proposed Project conditions:

• At Valencia Street, mixed‐flow capacity will drop from two lanes to one lane as the bus lane occupies the curb lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard in the vicinity of Valencia Street to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At the western City of Beverly Hills boundary, the mixed‐flow capacity will drop from three lanes of traffic to two lanes of traffic as the bus lane occupies the curb lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard west of the City of Beverly Hills boundary to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• Between Federal Avenue and Barrington Avenue, the curb lane will be used as a bus as well as right‐turn only lane along the entire segment. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard west of the Federal Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

8.2 PROJECT ALTERNATIVE A CONDITIONS Under Project Alternative A conditions, the following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the eastbound direction:

• East of Veteran Avenue, mixed‐flow capacity will drop from four lanes to three lanes as the bus

lane occupies the curb lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard in the vicinity of Veteran Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At Glendon Avenue, the mixed‐flow capacity will drop from three lanes of traffic west of Glendon Avenue to two lanes of traffic east at Malcolm Avenue. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard east of Glendon Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At the western Beverly Hills City limits (approximately 500 feet west of the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection), the bus lane transitions to a mixed flow lane. Therefore, three eastbound through lanes will remain at the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection. The Project Alternative A will not reduce capacity at this intersection, nor will the number of queued vehicles increase. However, the length of queues might increase because vehicles will be traveling in two lanes instead of three as they enter the City of Beverly Hills.

• East of San Vicente Boulevard (City of Beverly Hills boundary), a transition area of approximately 300 feet will be provided to allow through traffic to exit the bus lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard east of San Vicente Boulevard to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

The following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the westbound direction under Project Alternative A conditions:

• At South Park View Street, it is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.


• Between Federal Avenue and Barrington Avenue, the curb lane will be used as a bus as well as right‐turn only lane along the entire segment. It is proposed that appropriate signage be


Page 95


installed along Wilshire Boulevard west of Federal Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

8.3 PROJECT ALTERNATIVE A‐1 CONDITIONS Under Project Alternative A‐1 conditions, the following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the eastbound direction:

• East of Veteran Avenue, mixed‐flow capacity will drop from four lanes to three lanes as the bus

lane occupies the curb lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard in the vicinity of Veteran Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

• At Glendon Avenue, the roadway capacity will drop from three lanes of mixed‐flow traffic and a bus lane west of Glendon Avenue to three lanes of mixed‐flow traffic east at Malcolm Avenue, with truncation of the bus lane. Therefore, buses traveling in the bus lane west of Glendon Avenue will merge into mixed‐flow traffic east of Glendon Avenue. This situation is similar to current conditions, in which all traffic in the curb lane must merge from four lanes into three at this point. Therefore, no transitions problems are anticipated.

• At the western Beverly Hills City limits (approximately 500 feet west of the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection), the bus lane transitions to a mixed flow lane. Therefore, three eastbound through lanes will remain at the Whittier Drive/Merv Griffin Way intersection. The Project Alternative A‐1 will not reduce capacity at this intersection, nor will the number of queued vehicles increase. However, the length of queues might increase because vehicles will be traveling in two lanes instead of three as they enter the City of Beverly Hills.

• East of San Vicente Boulevard (City of Beverly Hills boundary), a transition area of approximately 300 feet will be provided to allow through traffic to exit the bus lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard east of San Vicente Boulevard to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

The following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the westbound direction under Project Alternative A‐1 conditions:



• At Comstock Avenue, the mixed‐flow capacity will increase from two lanes east of Comstock Avenue to three lanes west of Comstock Avenue. Therefore, no transitions problems are anticipated.

• Near Malcolm Avenue, the mixed‐flow capacity of three lanes will remain unchanged from east of Malcolm Avenue to west of Malcolm Avenue. Since the westernmost jut‐out is just west of Malcolm Avenue, the bus lane will occupy the additional traffic lane adjacent to the curb lane that begins west of the jut‐outs.


Page 96


• Between Federal Avenue and Barrington Avenue, the curb lane will be used as a bus as well as right‐turn only lane along the entire segment. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard west of Federal Avenue to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

8.4 PROJECT ALTERNATIVE A‐2 CONDITIONS Under Project Alternative A‐2 conditions, the following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the eastbound direction:

• East of San Vicente Boulevard (City of Beverly Hills boundary), a transition area of approximately

300 feet will be provided to allow through traffic to exit the bus lane. It is proposed that appropriate signage be installed along Wilshire Boulevard east of San Vicente Boulevard to inform motorists of bus lane operation during peak hours.

The following summarizes the transitional locations along the peak hour bus lane route in the westbound direction under Project Alternative A‐2 conditions:


9.0 MITIGATION MEASURES At intersections at which the Proposed Project or any of the project alternatives have a significant impact on traffic operations, mitigation measures have been identified to improve traffic operations and reduce the impact to a level considered less than significant. These mitigation measures generally fall into the following categories:

• Reduction in the project scope—By eliminating the bus lane at certain locations and allowing other through vehicles into the curb lane, the project impact may be eliminated.

• Traffic signal phasing modifications—By adding “protected” left‐turn phasing (a left‐turn arrow) or “protected plus permitted” left‐turn phasing (a left‐turn arrow, and left turners can also turn on green) for heavy turning movements, traffic operations can be improved and delay reduced, and the project impact may be eliminated.

• Additional turn lanes—By providing an additional turn lane for heavy left‐turn or right‐turn movements, traffic operations can be improved and delay reduced, and the project impact may be eliminated.

• Traffic signal upgrades—The traffic signals at many of the intersections within the City of Los Angeles currently operate using older Type 170 traffic signal controllers. Newer Model 2070 controllers provide for enhanced and real‐time operation of the traffic signal timing. Type 2070 controllers allow LADOT to provide instant adjustments to the signal’s timing parameters based on real‐time traffic conditions. The upgrade of the controllers, when supplemented by the installation of strategically placed closed‐circuit television (CCTV) cameras and additional vehicle detector loops, can reduce delay at the intersection. These traffic signal hardware upgrades are needed to provide for enhanced operation of the City’s Automated Traffic Surveillance and


Page 97


Control System (ATSAC) signal system, and to allow LADOT to manage traffic in direct response to real‐time traffic flow. The strategic placement of a CCTV camera affords LADOT the ability to monitor vehicles and buses, and to respond to incidents that cause excessive delays. If an impact is identified at one intersection, signal upgrades at other intersections in the immediate vicinity may also improve operations and reduce delay at the impacted intersection by improving overall traffic flow. The expected benefit to traffic flow is a reduction of the volume‐to‐capacity (V/C) ratio at the impacted intersection of 0.01, which corresponds to a 2.5 second reduction in overall intersection delay, as explained in Section 3.1.

• Traffic control system upgrades—The traffic signals at many of the intersections within the City of Los Angeles currently operate as part of the ATSAC system. The Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) is a personal computer based program that provides a fully‐responsive method to accommodate real‐time (actual) traffic conditions. ATCS is designed to further enhance the existing ATSAC system, but goes beyond the limitations of ATSAC to provide a traffic adaptive system of control. Studies show that the current ATSAC system can reduce travel times by 13%, intersection delay by 20%, and stops by 35%. However, ATSAC is limited in its effectiveness because it operates from pre‐developed traffic signal cycle plans based on different anticipated traffic conditions for each intersection. ATSAC implements the appropriate timing plan for each signal based on the time of day and prevailing conditions determined by sensors on the streets. As not all conditions can be anticipated, situations may occur where even the best pre‐determined plan is inadequate for the existing traffic. Under ATCS, continuous alterations are made to the signal timing (unless conditions remain constant) to adapt to changes in traffic conditions. ATCS can adapt and rapidly respond to virtually any prevailing traffic condition and thereby reduce congestion and delay and maximize traffic flow. When ATCS is controlling traffic signals in adaptive mode, the entire signal network is continuously analyzed, and the most appropriate signal timing for the existing conditions is implemented at each signalized intersection. Thus, as traffic conditions are affected by the morning, midday, or evening hours of travel – or perhaps weather, accidents, construction, or holiday shopping – the signal timing is constantly being updated. Any unusual occurrences that would otherwise cause congestion in a fixed‐time, ATSAC, traffic signal system are automatically accommodated by ATCS. The result is fewer stops and less delay for motorists, along with improved traffic signal coordination throughout the signal network. As ATCS is a fully responsive, real‐time system, it must be provided with sufficient data to be effective and to make appropriate decisions regarding signal timing. Therefore, ATCS would require additional vehicle sensors; additional closed‐circuit television cameras for better video coverage; computers, hardware and networking; and an upgrade in the communication links to fiber optic cable. The ideal system design would have vehicle sensors on all approaches to all intersections in the system. With the pertinent traffic data (number of cars) obtained from these sensors placed in advance of the intersection, the signal timing is adjusted to accommodate the prevailing conditions. The expected benefit to traffic flow is a reduction of the volume‐to‐capacity (V/C) ratio at the upgraded intersection of 0.03, which corresponds to a 7.5 second reduction in overall intersection delay, as explained in Section 3.1.

The Proposed Project results in significant impacts at 18 intersections in 2012 and 19 intersections in 2020. Since several intersections are impacted in one year but not in the other, a total of 21 intersections are significantly impacted by the Proposed Project in at least one of the years. Table 9‐1 summarizes the significantly impacted intersections under the Proposed Project during all time periods. The following mitigation measures have been identified at the 21 locations at which the Proposed Project has a significant impact:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard – No feasible mitigation measure is available at this location. • Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard – Install system loops at three locations on Wilshire Boulevard

at Brockton Avenue, Westgate Avenue, and Granville Avenue. The system loop upgrades will improve traffic operations but do not fully mitigate the project’s impact at this intersection.

As shown in Tables 9‐5 and 9‐6, 10 of the 18 significantly impacted intersections are reduced to a level considered less than significant with implementation of the mitigation measures for year 2012 with Proposed Project conditions. As also shown in Tables 9‐5 and 9‐6, the project’s impact is reduced at the following four significantly impacted intersections during a.m. and/or p.m. peak hour conditions, but not enough to fully mitigate the project’s impact:

• Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard; • Veteran Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard; and • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard.


Page 110


The following four intersections are also forecast to remain significantly impacted in year 2012 with Proposed Project conditions since no feasible mitigation measure could be identified:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard; • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard; and • Overland Avenue/Pico Boulevard.

10.0 LOCAL RESIDENTIAL STREET ANALYSIS This section discusses potential impacts to local residential streets along the Wilshire corridor caused by possible traffic diversion during bus lane operations. In the western part of the study area, the following three local residential streets run parallel and are adjacent to Wilshire Boulevard:

• Goshen Avenue between Bundy Drive and San Vicente Boulevard; • Lindbrook Drive between Malcolm Avenue and Comstock Avenue; and • Ashton Avenue between Malcolm Avenue and Comstock Avenue.

Texas Avenue also runs parallel to Wilshire Boulevard, but is designated as a collector road and therefore not subject to a local residential street analysis. In the eastern part of the study area, 6th, 7th, and 8th Streets run parallel and are adjacent to Wilshire Boulevard. However, these streets are designated as either collector or secondary roads between Fairfax Avenue and Lucas Avenue, and therefore not subject to a local residential street analysis. Under Proposed Project and all project alternative conditions, study intersections on Wilshire Boulevard in the vicinity of Lindbrook Drive and Ashton Avenue operate at LOS D or better in 2012 and 2020. Therefore, it is not expected that a significant amount of traffic would divert from Wilshire Boulevard to these local residential streets. In the vicinity of Goshen Avenue, the Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard and Federal Avenue‐San Vicente Boulevard/Wilshire Boulevard intersections are projected to operate at LOS E or F in 2012 and 2020. However, traffic diversion onto Goshen Avenue is unlikely since Goshen Avenue runs for only a short distance, eastbound left‐turn movements from Wilshire Boulevard to Bundy Drive are relatively high‐delay movements during peak hours, and northbound left‐turn movements from San Vicente Boulevard to Goshen Avenue are prohibited. Therefore, no significant impacts to local residential streets are expected.

11.0 CURB LANE ACCESS ISSUES

11.1 PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL LOADING FOR BUILDINGS FRONTING WILSHIRE

BOULEVARD Outside of peak hours, when the bus lanes are not in operation, neither the Proposed Project nor any of the project alternatives will result in a change to loading areas for residential or commercial properties on Wilshire Boulevard. In locations where parking or stopping is currently allowed, parking and stopping will continue to be allowed under the Proposed Project and all project alternatives, with the exception of the approximately 11 parking spaces that will be eliminated between Fairfax Avenue and Valencia Street, as described in Section 14. During peak hours, when the bus lanes are in operation, there will also be no modification to loading areas available for buildings along most of the corridor under either alternative, with the exception being the segment with “jut‐outs” between Malcolm Avenue and Comstock Avenue under the Proposed Project. Outside of the jut‐out area, the curb lane is generally marked as “No Stopping” during peak


Page 125


hours. With the implementation of the bus lane, the curb lane will effectively remain “No Stopping” for private vehicles, so there will be no change. In the jut‐out area, under current conditions, vehicles are allowed to stop and/or park in the curb lane during peak hours. Under the Proposed Project, the curb lane will be used as a bus lane during peak hours, and vehicles will no longer be able to stop or park during those hours. Thus, passenger and business loading will be prohibited from the curb lane during peak hours. The majority of the buildings in this area have on‐site semi‐circular driveways or porte‐cochères that can be used for passenger vehicles, taxis, or small deliveries. Large moving vans that cannot be accommodated on‐site will have to arrange loading and unloading during off‐peak hours, as is done elsewhere in the City where on‐street peak‐period parking is prohibited. Under the Proposed Project, schools and day‐care facilities in the jut‐out area that may currently utilize the public right‐of‐way for vehicular queuing will have to accommodate queuing for student drop‐off and pick‐up on‐site. The City generally does not permit such facilities to use the public rights‐of‐way for queuing and has required numerous schools to develop transportation plans incorporating such elements as assigned drop‐off/pick‐up times for students, limitations on vehicular trips, and school staff assistance to parents in facilitating loading and unloading to minimize vehicle dwell time. Under the Proposed Project, access to the Belmont Village assisted living facility will not be affected during peak hours, as there is currently a jut‐out along its entire frontage, so no stopping is currently permitted in front of the buildings during peak hours. During off‐peak hours, stopping and parking could be permitted in front of this facility, since the jut‐out would be removed. Currently, stopping is not permitted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. This recently constructed building also has underground parking and vehicular access. Under the Project Alternative A, in the jut‐out area, vehicles will continue to be allowed to stop and/or park in the curb lane during peak hours. Under this alternative, there will be no change to loading areas available to buildings in the jut‐out area. Under the Project Alternative A‐1 and the Project Alternative A‐2, since there will be no bus lane operations in the jut‐out area, no change to loading areas available to buildings in the jut‐out area will occur as a result of the project.

11.2 EMERGENCY ACCESS Emergency vehicles will be permitted to use the bus lanes when they are in operation. Because these lanes will be free of most other vehicular traffic, emergency response time will be no worse than under current conditions, and will likely be improved.

11.3 RIGHT‐TURNS TO/FROM WILSHIRE BOULEVARD California Vehicle Code Section 22100(a) requires, “Both the approach for a right‐hand turn and a right‐hand turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right‐hand curb or edge of the roadway.” Thus,


Page 126


right‐turning vehicles both onto and off of Wilshire Boulevard will be expected to use the curb (bus) lane during peak hours when the bus lanes are in operation. Vehicles other than buses must transition to the adjacent, non‐bus lane, within a reasonable distance. Drivers turning onto Wilshire Boulevard will be expected to wait to begin their turning maneuver until a reasonable gap is available in the first travel lane next to the bus lane.

12.0 PARKING There are currently a total of 218 metered parking spaces on Wilshire Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue and Western Avenue, a distance of approximately three miles. Under the Proposed Project and all the project alternatives, approximately 11 parking spaces within this area would be removed to accommodate larger or relocated bus stops. The removed parking spaces would be spread throughout this segment of the project, with no more than three spaces being removed on any single block. The removed parking spaces would have a small effect on parking supply during off‐peak hours. During peak periods, parking is prohibited under current conditions, so the removal of these parking spaces would not affect parking supply at all. Under the Proposed Project, parking in approximately 85 existing on‐street parking spaces between Selby Avenue and Comstock Avenue would be prohibited during peak hours, 53 on the north side of the street and 32 on the south side. Of these spaces, 36 are currently restricted to 2‐hour parking between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., and 49 (35 on the north side and 14 on the south side) are not restricted. (An inventory of the parking spaces on Wilshire Boulevard in this area is included in Appendix E). Parking supply during off‐peak hours would not be reduced and, in fact, would likely be increased under the Proposed Project because the removal of the jut‐outs would create room for additional on‐street parking in the curb lanes. In this area, there are three preferential parking districts bordering Wilshire Boulevard, Districts 4, 6, and 11 (A figure is provided in Appendix E). Preferential Parking District 4 borders Wilshire Boulevard and covers a residential area south of Wilshire Boulevard between Malcolm Avenue and Manning Avenue. Preferential Parking District 6 borders Wilshire Boulevard and covers a residential area south of Wilshire Boulevard between Beverly Glen Boulevard and Club View Drive. Preferential Parking District 11 borders Wilshire Boulevard and covers a residential area north of Wilshire Boulevard between Malcolm Avenue and Beverly Glen Boulevard. Residents within these parking districts, including those living on the side of Wilshire Boulevard within the district, are eligible to receive guest permits for their visitors. Therefore, guests of residents within these districts would be able to park on any street within their district. Residences south of Wilshire Boulevard between Manning Avenue and Beverly Glen Boulevard are not included in a preferential parking district. Residents of these buildings are not eligible to park in adjacent preferential districts. This segment includes 51 spaces (on both sides of the street) at which parking would be prohibited during peak hours under the Proposed Project. On February 2, 2010 an on‐street parking occupancy count was collected along this segment during a.m. and p.m. peak periods. The results of the count indicate that a maximum of 35 vehicles occupied parking spaces during the a.m. peak period and a maximum of 34 vehicles occupied parking spaces during the p.m. peak period. Guests of residents in this area would have to use off‐street visitor parking spaces during peak periods.


Page 127


Additionally, residences north of Wilshire Boulevard between Beverly Glen Boulevard and Comstock Avenue are not included in a preferential parking district. Residents of these buildings are not eligible to park in adjacent preferential districts. This segment includes 27 spaces (on both sides of the street) at which parking would be prohibited during peak periods under the Proposed Project. Results of the parking occupancy count on this segment indicate that a maximum of 26 vehicles occupied parking spaces during the a.m. peak period and a maximum of 16 vehicles occupied parking spaces during the p.m. peak period. Guests of residents in this area would have to use off‐street visitor parking spaces during peak periods. As a result of the peak hour parking restrictions under the Proposed Project, guests of certain residents may be required to either park in spaces on adjacent streets within a preferential parking district or use off‐street visitor parking spaces. CEQA, however, does not require an analysis of parking adequacy as part of a project‘s environmental review process. A project’s potential impact on parking supply is considered a social impact, and an EIR needs to only address the secondary physical impacts that could be triggered by a social impact (CEQA Guidelines, section 15131(a)). In other words, the social inconvenience of having to search for parking spaces is not an environmental impact; however, the secondary effect of a lack of parking on traffic and air quality may result in an environmental impact under CEQA. In this case, the potential secondary effects of searching for parking spaces that may result from the Proposed Project are too speculative to determine. First, an adequate supply of guest parking for those who can no longer park on Wilshire Boulevard in residential areas may be available on adjacent streets within a preferential parking district or in off‐street parking lots of residential buildings. If such parking is available, air quality or traffic impacts associated with guest vehicles would be negligible. Even if such parking is not readily available when the Proposed Project is implemented, drivers would likely, in time, adjust their driving routes to find available parking, and the amount of resulting air pollution or traffic congestion associated with vehicles searching for scarce parking spaces is likely to be short‐term and minimal. Further, if parking is not available, guests may choose to take public transportation instead of private vehicles, thus reducing air quality or traffic impacts associated with these vehicles. Regardless, it is impossible to determine with reasonable certainty whether secondary physical effects, if any, may result from the Proposed Project. Therefore, the removal or restriction of parking spaces on Wilshire Boulevard would not result in significant impacts on the environment. Under all project alternatives, parking supply between Selby Avenue and Comstock Avenue would be unaffected.

13.0 BUS LANE ENFORCEMENT The success of bus lanes in other cities has been heavily dependent on enforcement to prevent automobiles from using the bus lanes and blocking bus traffic. Thus, both passive and active enforcement measures will be required so that the bus lanes can meet their goals of improving transit reliability and increasing transit ridership. Passive enforcement measures will include signage and pavement markings to educate and guide drivers regarding the proper use of the bus lanes and the penalties for violations. Signage could consist of fixed signs providing information about the bus lane restrictions and hours of operation, or it could


Page 128


include changeable message signs that would be activated during peak hours to provide a more visible notification to drivers. Active enforcement measures could include aggressive police enforcement during the first months of implementation of the bus lanes to change driver behavior and warn or cite violators. On‐going police enforcement will also be required after the initial months. Less labor intensive, technological solutions could also be developed that would assist with enforcement, although no “off‐the‐shelf” enforcement tools currently exist. The most promising tool would be a technology similar to red light enforcement cameras that would detect vehicles other than buses traveling through an intersection in the right lane, take a photograph, and transmit it to a processing center for issuance of a citation to the driver. The currently missing step in this technology is a means to classify vehicle types in real time; this could be achieve either through a video detection algorithm or through radio transmission of an identifying signal by authorized vehicles (buses). Under current state law, such photo enforcement could likely only be used to provide a warning to violators. State authorization would most likely be required to permit a local jurisdiction to implement such an enforcement system.

14.0 “OPENING DAY” ANALYSIS An “opening day” scenario was performed for the Wilshire BRT project in which the bus lanes are implemented in 2012 and there is no change in automobile traffic patterns. Prior to the actual implementation of the project, there will be a period of public notification about the project and education about the rules of operation. Portions of the curb lane of Wilshire Boulevard will be repaved, and the mitigation measures identified in this study will be implemented. Since all of these items will in fact occur prior to the implementation of the project, the traveling public will be able to adjust travel patterns in anticipation. In the first weeks after project implementation, drivers will continue to adjust their travel routes, times, and modes in response to observed traffic conditions, just as they do during any event that changes roadway capacity. Drivers will continue to shift their behavior gradually until a new equilibrium is reached across alternative travel routes and modes, likely after a period of a few months. The year 2012 transportation network assumed in the “opening day” scenario is the same as that for the other year 2012 analyses. Since this scenario by definition assumes that there will be no traffic diversion to other corridors, it produces no potential for increased delays at intersections other than those on Wilshire Boulevard itself. Therefore, the intersections analyzed for this scenario are limited to the 17 study intersections on Wilshire Boulevard. Analysis of this scenario is not required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Results of this analysis do not constitute project impacts because this scenario is not a realistic assessment of traffic conditions with implementation of the project, nor would “impacts” on a single day (or even during a short transition period) constitute significant impacts under the requirements of either of these laws.

14.3 YEAR 2012 “OPENING DAY” WITH PROJECT ALTERNATIVE A‐1 LEVELS OF SERVICE Traffic operations at the Wilshire Boulevard study intersections for year 2012 “Opening Day” with Project Alternative A‐1 conditions would be identical to year 2012 “Opening Day” with Project Alternative A conditions, with the exception of the Beverly Glen Boulevard/Wilshire Boulevard and Comstock Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard intersections. Since Project Alternative A‐1 does not include a bus lane at these two locations, levels of service at these two locations would be identical to no project conditions.

14.4 YEAR 2012 “OPENING DAY” WITH PROJECT ALTERNATIVE A‐2 LEVELS OF SERVICE Traffic operations at the Wilshire Boulevard study intersections for year 2012 “Opening Day” with Project Alternative A‐2 conditions would be identical to year 2012 “Opening Day” with Project Alternative A conditions, with the exception of all study intersections west of the City of Beverly Hills. Since Project Alternative A‐2 does not include a bus lane west of the City of Beverly Hills, levels of service at these locations would be identical to no project conditions.

15.0 ALTERNATIVES NOT CONSIDERED FOR FURTHER EVALUATION As part of the project development process, LACMTA, in coordination with LADOT and based on community input, developed two additional project alternatives that are not being further evaluated. These alternatives are briefly discussed below.

15.1 PROJECT ALTERNATIVE B ‐ TRUNCATED PROJECT At the eastern end, this alternative is similar to the Project Alternative A, in that it deletes the bus lanes between South Park View Street and Valencia Avenue where Wilshire Boulevard is currently only two lanes in each direction. At the western end, it is similar to the Proposed Project, in that it removes the jut‐outs on Wilshire Boulevard to create a new lane for buses between Malcolm Avenue and Comstock Avenue. The traffic impacts of this alternative would be very similar to those of the Project Alternative A east of the City of Beverly Hills and very similar to those of the Proposed Project west of the City of Beverly Hills. This alternative is not being evaluated further because most public comment supported either 1) implementing the bus lanes for the entire length of the Proposed Project, or 2) retention of the jut‐outs and existing landscape. This alternative would not address either of these concerns.

15.2 PROJECT ALTERNATIVE C ‐ MINI BUS LANES As described in LADOT’s April 19, 2007 City Council Report, this alternative would create “mini” bus lanes along short segments of Wilshire Boulevard around highly congested intersections. It would also provide some operational improvements to the traffic signals on Wilshire Boulevard to enhance the Transit Priority System. Specifically, this alternative includes the following elements:

• Enhanced Transit Priority System, including near‐side signal priority, reduced signal recovery period, added green time for Wilshire Boulevard, etc.

• Pavement marking to try to prevent traffic from blocking the congested intersections • Relocation of selected bus stops to improve bus operations • Removal of some on‐street parking spaces to facilitate bus operations • Repair curb lane pavement in selected segments • Installation of 200 concrete bus pads at the nearside of all signalized intersections and bus stops • Widening of selected segments to create wider curb lanes for buses and/or to create all day

mini bus lanes adjacent to: o La Brea Avenue‐eastbound widening o Fairfax Avenue‐widening in both directions o San Vicente Boulevard‐widening in both directions o Federal Avenue‐eastbound widening o Barrington Avenue‐eastbound widening

• Conversion of mixed flow lanes and removal of on‐street parking spaces to create all day mini bus lanes adjacent to:

o Vermont Avenue (3 blocks eastbound and westbound) o Normandie Avenue (3 blocks westbound; St. Andrews to Mariposa eastbound) o Western Avenue (3 blocks westbound; St. Andrews to Mariposa eastbound) o Westwood Boulevard (westbound only from Selby Avenue to Gayley Avenue)

This alternative is not being evaluated further because, while it would improve bus travel time through several congested locations, it would not substantially improve schedule reliability and reduce bus


Page 134


“bunching” due to congested conditions elsewhere in the corridor. One of the goals of the project is to increase transit ridership by providing more reliable bus service, and this alternative would not meet that goal. This alternative would also be very difficult to enforce because of the intermittent nature of the bus lanes, as well as their short length, and would require an intensive enforcement approach. Additionally, since this alternative would not create a continuous BRT corridor, it would not be eligible for federal funding as part of the Very Small Starts Program. Finally, this alternative would require physical widening of Wilshire Boulevard within the Wilshire Community Plan Area, which the Community Plan prohibits.

16.0 CONCLUSIONS The Proposed Project results in significant traffic impacts at 18 intersections in 2012 and 19 intersections in 2020. Since several intersections are impacted in one year but not in the other, a total of 21 intersections are significantly impacted by the Proposed Project in at least one of the years. With implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, 12 of the 21 significantly impacted intersections are reduced to a level considered less than significant with Proposed Project conditions. Signal upgrades at five of the remaining nine significantly impacted intersections further reduce the project’s impact during a.m. and/or p.m. peak hour conditions by an average of 32%, but not enough to fully mitigate the project’s impact. The following intersections are forecast to remain significantly impacted in either year 2012 or 2020 with Proposed Project conditions since no feasible mitigation measure that fully mitigates the project’s impact could be identified:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard; • Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Veteran Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Westwood Boulevard/Olympic Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard; • Overland Avenue/Pico Boulevard; • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); and • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure).


Page 135


The Project Alternative A results in significant traffic impacts at 15 intersections in 2012 and 14 intersections in 2020. Since several intersections are impacted in one year but not in the other, a total of 19 intersections are significantly impacted by the Project Alternative A in at least one of the years. With implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, 10 of the 19 significantly impacted intersections are reduced to a level considered less than significant with Project Alternative A conditions. Signal upgrades at five of the remaining nine significantly impacted intersections further reduce the project’s impact during a.m. and/or p.m. peak hour conditions by an average of 25%, but not enough to fully mitigate the project’s impact. The following intersections are forecast to remain significantly impacted in either year 2012 or year 2020 with Project Alternative A conditions since no feasible mitigation measure that fully mitigates the project’s impact could be identified:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard; • Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Veteran Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Beverly Glen Boulevard/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Westwood Boulevard/Olympic Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard; • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); and • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure).

The Project Alternative A‐1 results in significant traffic impacts at 10 intersections in 2012 and 13 intersections in 2020. Since several intersections are impacted in one year but not in the other, a total of 14 intersections are significantly impacted by the Project Alternative A‐1 in at least one of the years. With implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, 6 of the 14 significantly impacted intersections are reduced to a level considered less than significant with Project Alternative A‐1 conditions. Signal upgrades at three of the remaining eight significantly impacted intersections further reduce the project’s impact during a.m. and/or p.m. peak hour conditions by an average of 31%, but not enough to fully mitigate the project’s impact. The following intersections are forecast to remain significantly impacted in either year 2012 or year 2020 with Project Alternative A‐1 conditions since no feasible mitigation measure that fully mitigates the project’s impact could be identified:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard; • Bundy Drive/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Beverly Glen Boulevard/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard; • Overland Avenue/Pico Boulevard; • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); and • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure).

The Project Alternative A‐2 results in significant traffic impacts at 8 intersections in 2012 and 7 intersections in 2020. Since several intersections are impacted in one year but not in the other, a total of 10 intersections are significantly impacted by the Project Alternative A‐2 in at least one of the years.


Page 136


With implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, 4 of the 10 significantly impacted intersections are reduced to a level considered less than significant with Project Alternative A‐2 conditions. Signal upgrades at two of the remaining six significantly impacted intersections further reduce the project’s impact during a.m. and/or p.m. peak hour conditions by an average of 35%, but not enough to fully mitigate the project’s impact. The following intersections are forecast to remain significantly impacted in either year 2012 or year 2020 with Project Alternative A‐2 conditions since no feasible mitigation measure that fully mitigates the project’s impact could be identified:

• Veteran Avenue/Sunset Boulevard; • Overland Avenue/Santa Monica Boulevard; • Westwood Boulevard/Pico Boulevard; • Overland Avenue/Pico Boulevard; • Fairfax Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure); and • La Brea Avenue/Wilshire Boulevard (partial mitigation measure).
