    This Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) analyzes the potential; environmental impacts that would result from the construction and operation of the Metro; Green Une Northern Extension project. The SEIR has been prepared for the Los Angeles; County Transportation Commission (LACfC); now a part of the newly formed Los Angeles; County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA); in accordance with the California; Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines; as amended. The; LACfC/MT A is the designated lead agency for this project.; The proposed Metro Green Line Northern Extension is the "project" as defined by Section; 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines and is not an exempt specified mass transit project as; defined in Section 15275 of the same guidelines. The proposed project is an individual; project of a regional transportation improvement as defined in Section 15276. Subsequent; discussions will refer to the Metro Green Line Northern Extension as "the project".; The LACfCIMTA; as lead agency; has determined that the project may have a significant; impact on the environment and; therefore; directed the preparation of this SElR. The; LAcrC/MT A prepared an Initial Study which indicated the issue areas that are to be; analyzed in the SEIR. Following the completion of the Initial Study; a Notice of; Preparation (NOP) was submitted to all identified responsible agencies. The Initial Study; and NOP are provided in Appendix A; The purpose of this SEIR is to provide a full disclosure informational document that will; inform the lead agency; responsible agencies; decision makers; and the general public of the; environmental effects of the proposed project. This report discusses the potential significant; effects of the project on the aspects of the environment identified in the Initial Study; evaluates alternatives to the project; and identifies measures that would be effective in; reducing or avoiding significant adverse impacts.; The implementation of this project wiIl require a number of discretionary actions to be; taken by the LAcrCIMT A and other responsible agencies.

  • 1985 - The Mealy Street Freight Rail Diversion: The Long Beach- Los Angeles Rail Transit Project Draft Enviromental Impact Report:

    PURPOSE OF PROJECT; The Long Beach-Los Angeles Rail Transit Project is the f i r s t rail; transit construction project to be undertaken by the Los Angeles; County Transportation Commission (LACTC) as part of a transit; improvement program funded by the one-half cent sales tax increase; approved by county voters in 1980. A major portion of the project; route would be essentially the same as that of the last line operated; by the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Cars" which ceased operation in; 1961.; The project has undergone preliminary engineering; and three; environmental documents have been issued by the LACTC; culminating; with the certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR); on March 13; 1985. On March 27; 1985; the LACTC adopted the; project for construction; utilizing mid-corridor segment Alternative; MC-1; which would accommodate light rail transit tracks alongside; existing freight rail tracks in the median of Willowbrook Avenue; in the City of Compton area. However; in May 1985; the LACTC; authorized preparation of a subsequent El R to analyze an additional; alternative within the City of Compton. This alternative; known as; MC-5; the Mealy Street Freight Rail Diversion (and shown in Figure; S-I); is the subject of this document.; S-2QO PROJECT DESCR! PTlON; W i t h the proposed MC-5 alternative; l i g h t r a i l transit ( LRTf would; continue to follow the Southern Pacific Transportation Company; (SPTC) Wilmington Branch rail line. Freight rail traffic would be; relocated at Mealy Street in north Compton from the Wilmington; Branch right-of-way (ROW) to the San Pedro Branch ROW. thereby; consolidating freight rail traffic onto the San Pedro Branch ROW.; Slightly north of Rosecrans Avenue; the LRT would rise on an aerial; structure to allow passage of the rerouted freight r a i l t r a f f i c; underneath. The LRT would then continue in an exclusive ROW on; the Wilmington Branch (which lies between the east and west roadways; of Willowbrook Avenue) south to Compton Creek. Consolidated; freight rail traffic would continue on new track in the San Pedro; Branch ROW (which lies between the east and west roadways of; Alameda Street) to south of Dominguez Junction.; The MC-5 alternative is comprised of four major elements; which are; described in the following sections

The report presents an action plan which would; enable service to begin within five years; Caltrans' study of light rail t r a n s i t in the Lang Beach-; Los Angeles corridor was prepared in the context of; developing a regional passenger r a i l system for Southern; California; Earlier Caltrans reports have evaluated; commuter rail operations between Los Angeles and various; d e s t i n a t i o n s; i n c l u d i n g Oxnard; San Bernardino; Riverside; and South Orange County. The development of l i g h t rail on; freeway medians is being considered i n the Century Freeway; San Bernardino Freeway; Harbor Freeway and Santa Ana; Freeway c o r r i d o r s . Several former Pacific Electric; lines have been i d e n t i f i e d for p o t e n t i a l l i g h t r a i l use in; major transportation corridors i n t h e region. These; adapting portions 05 the e x i s t i n g Southern Pacific; Transportation Company rail line between Willow Street in; Long Beach and Washington Boulevard i n Los Angeles for; light rail use. New rail lines are considered on streets; i n Long Beach and Los Angeles; extending the service into; t h e CBDs. I n Long Beach; a p o s s i b l e route would be along; Long Beach Boulevard from Ocean Boulevard to Willow S t r e e t .; In Los Angeles; t h e r e are s e v e r a l north/south streets which; could be used to reach the CBD and Union Station. Another; option is to extend the l i n e to the Convention Center and; use other t r a n s i t service f o r d i s t r i b u t i n g passengers; throughout the CBDo; The trunk segment; extending from Willow Street in Long; Beach to Washington Boulevard i n Los Angeles; is s t a t u t o r -; i l y exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; (CEQA).

  • 1989 - Metro Blue Line System Operations Safety Program Plan

    Introduction; This System Operations Safety Program Plan (SOSPP) has been prepared to; define the technical and managerial system safety activities to be; undertaken by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC); during revenue service of the Long Beach - Los Angeles (LBJLA) rail; transit system. It provides the background; description; organization; management and requirements of the LB/LA rail transit system operations; safety program.; The legal entity empowered to design; construct and commission the LB/LA; rail transit system is the LACTC. In 1976; enabling legislation; passed; as AB 1246 (which revised Part 3 of Division 10 of the Public Utilities; Code and other State of California codes) created the LACTC.; t The LACTC has delegated revenue service operation of the system to the; Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD); which was created in .; '*\; 1964 by the State of California enabling legislation under Part 2 of the; Public Utilities Code.; Chapter 5; Article 5; Section 30646 of the State of California Public; Utilities Code empowered the California Public Utilities Commission; (CPUC) to oversee and regulate the safety aspects of transit properties.; Under this authority; the PUC governs the safety rules and procedures of; Transit System Operators; monitors the use of safety appiiasaces and; conducts inspections to monitor adherence to the rules and procedures; promulgated by Transit System Operators.; The California Occupatisnaf Safety and Health Administration. (CAL/BSHA); has regulatory and enforcement power over construction activities asad; certain industrial activities not related to trackage and rolling stock; operating on such trackage; SECTION. % \V2; SOS* l; The California Administrative Code (CAC); Title 19; establishes that; local fire jurisdictions have responsibility for fire and panic safety.; Fire jurisdictions include the State of California fire marshal; the; County of Los Angeles Eire Marshal and the Fire Marshals of the Cities; of Long Beach; Los Angefes; Compton and Carson through which the LB/LA; rail transit system passes.; The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has the responsibility; and authority to conduct investigations of transportation accidents and; to make recommendations for corrective action at the federal level.; 1.2 Purpose; This SOSPP formalizes and documents LACTC's planned actions whereby; established operation safety goals and objectives can be achieved; within schedule and budget constraints. It establishes the safety; phiXosophy for the tB/LA rail transit system and provides a means for; implementing that philosophy throughout the operation. of the system.; This plan has been developed to:; o establish the safety operation program on a. systemwide basis; o provide the medium through which the LACTC identifies its; commitment to safe system operation; o furnish the framework for implementation of LACTC's policies for; safe system operation; o allow Por portions of safety self-certification and satisfy; insurance underwriting requirements; s meet or exceed transit industry practices; and; o provide a structured approach for recommending corrective actions; to eliminate; minimize or control the potential for accidents.; The LACTC defines system safety as that state of operation which; precludes the existence or creation of catastrophic and critical hazards; and/or failures. This state is planned to be achieved through the; coordinated management efforts of the responsible administrative and; technical departments under the direction of the LACTC.; The SOSPP will be used by the LACTC as its safety guideline document; during revenue service of the LB/LA rail transit system. The system; elements encompass the operation personnel; the patrons; the management; structure; the policies; procedures and operating rules; the fixed; facilities including the yards and shops; the dedicated right-of-way; the trackway structures and the central control facil

  • 1983 - Concept Design Report Volume 1: Long Beach- Los Angeles Rail Transit Project

    PROJECT BACKGROUND; The current Long Beach - Los Angeles Rail Transit Project is pert of an ongoing; transportation planning process for Los Angeles County in which this and thirteen other; corridors in the county have been identified as candidates for new transit improvements.; This Project is one of the first rail projects (along with the SCRTD Metro Rail Project) to; be undertaken by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) in response; to the passage of Proposition A; which provides local funding for development and; implementation of a county-wide public transit improvern ent program.; General. Description of the Project; The Long Beach-Los Angeles rail project is being planned as a conventional light rail transit; system located primarily in the existing Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SPTC); right-of-way (Wilmington and East Long Beach Branches) extending from downtown Los; Angeles to downtown Long Ekach. A number of alternative routes are under consideration; within the downtown areas of these two cities. The proposed line will pass through the; cities of Compton and Carson; and the unincorporated areas of Florence-Graham; Willowbrook and Dorninguez Hills in Los Angeles County. The total route will be; approximately 22 miles in length; with about 18 miles of i t following the existing SPTC; right-of-way. Much of the project route will be essentially the same as the last line; operated by the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Cars1! which ceased operations in 1961.; Design and service characteristics; however; will be upgraded and modernized to meet; today's transit standards and to satisfy both present and anticipated future needs.; The Present Studv; On January 26; 1983 the Los Angeles County Transportation Corn mission contracted with; the joint venture of Parsons Brinckerhoff/Kaiser Engineers (PB/KE) to provide engineering; and environmental consultant services for the Long Beach - Long Angeles Rail Transit; Project. The purpose of the study is to conduct preliminary design and to prepare an; environmental impact report for the project.; The preliminary design will serve to accomplish a number of objectives; including:; provide a basis for choosing among a number of design options and variations; e allow further refinement of the rail system's physical and operational; characteristics (alignment; stations; equipment; operations plan; fare collection; etc.); and; r; contribute to the preparation of a financial plan for project implementation.; The environmental impact assessment will conclude with a Final Environmental Impact; Report (FEIR); thus complying with local and state environmental review requirements; which must be satisfied prior to project funding and construction.; PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS EEPORT; Work on the Long Beach - Los Angeles Rail Transit Project has focused on the progressive; refinement and narrowing of potential design options and variations. Appropriate rail; technologies have been reviewed. Over 25 alternative alignments and dozens of potential; station locations have been defined and evaluated. A variety of system design issues have; been explored at a preliminary level; and measures to mitigate potential vehicular traffic; impacts have been formulated.; The study is now at the point where it is desirable to have feedback from government; agencies and the general public on the findings of the study to date; prior to undertaking; the preparation of detailed drawings; cost estimates; environmental Ernpact assessments; and other investigations required to evaluate each of the remaining alternatives. The; purpose of this report; therefore; is to summarize the results of the work which has been; accomplished up to this time and the process by which the results were obtained; and to; describe the alternatives which will be further evaluated. A formal comparison of the; evaluations of the alternatives at the conclusion of the study will lead to a selection of a; transit sys

  • 1947 - Report On Engineering Survey Of Operations And Facilities Of Los Angeles Transit LInes

    Application 27487, filed by the Los Angeles Transit Lines, seeks the Corrmission's authority to make certain adjustments in its passenger fares. Case 4843, instituted by the Commission on its own Illotion,contemplates a general investigation of this carrier, as well as Pacific Electric l{ailway Company and Los Angeles riotor Coach Lines, into all phases of the operations including service, operations, fares, etc. Exhibit ~o. 32, offered in evidence at the hearing on these matters and application 27466 on October 2, covered the service and related J matters on Pacific Electric Railway. Because of rrajor changes which became effective on AUgust 3, 1947, as to routings, type of equipment, schedules, etc., it was impossible for the GOhJlnission Is staff to have any suitable service atudy available for presentation at that time. No traffic cheeks which would be representative and present a true picture of the operations could be made until after the commencement of the fall school term on or about SepteI:lber15. Making these checks is not an instantaneous process, but requires considerable time, and to be authentic mUst be made by experienced people. As of Septenmer 28, 1947, Los Angeles Transit Lines had in service 13 rail lines on which there were 601 scheduled cars, 83 spares and 9 unassigned but serviceable units of equipment, making a total available rail cars of 693. As of this same date Los Angeles Transit Lines had in operation 36 motor coach and trolley coach lines on which there were scheduled 472 coaches and 55 spares, or a total of 527 units, 40 of which were trolley coaches. A detailed description of the various types of rail equipment used by the Transit Lines is contained in the Gonmrission's report dated October 17, 1940, on Gase ~o. 4461, and should require no elaboration here. It might be well, however, to state that since the Transit Lines have taken over the operation from the former owners, Los Angeles Railway Corporation, the standards of maintenan
