CC - Item 5B - Approval of Funding Agreement with Metro for the 1st - Riggin-Potrero Grande Corridor ProjectROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH METRO FOR THE
1sT-RIGGIN-POTRERO GRANDE CORRIDOR PROJECT
SUMMARY
In 2020, the City of Monterey Park submitted a joint grant application on behalf of the City of
Montebello, City of Rosemead, and Los Angeles County for the Metro Active Transport (MAT)
Cycle 1 Program. The proposed l'-Riggin-Portrero Grande Corridor Project consists of roadway
improvements along the Riggin -Potrero Grande Corridor with an estimated cost of $6,400,000.
The improvements within the City of Rosemead include the installation of Class II bike lanes,
asphalt pavement micro -surfacing, and crosswalk accessibility improvements. In January 2021,
the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) selected the Project for
funding and programmed $6,366,225 in Measure M funds for early planning,
Environmental/planning, PS&E, Right of Way, and Construction of the Project. The grant does
not require the City of Rosemead to commit a local match. The City of Monterey Park is the lead
agency and as such, the awarded funding will solely be distributed to Monterey Park as they
have been authorized to deliver the Project. The Funding Agreement with Metro must be
executed to proceed with the Project. Staff requests that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to execute the Funding Agreement with Metro for the Project.
BACKGROUND
The City of Monterey Park submitted a joint MAT Cycle 1 grant application and was awarded
funding for the proposed Project. The City of Monterey Park is designated as the lead agency
and is responsible for grant management throughout all phases of the Project. The Project would
bring connectivity improvements to areas of major activity through construction of long
segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and crosswalk enhancements. There
is a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle
facilities dropping at city boundaries. The Project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel
by increasing the existing bicycle transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities.
These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools, and
recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of
Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.
AGENDA ITEM 5.11
City Council Meeting
November 8, 2022
Page 2 of 3
The Project is located within the Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, Rosemead, and an
Unincorporated Area of Los Angeles County. More specifically, the Project limits are:
• W I" St from Vancouver Ave to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W Is` St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,
• Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave (within City of Rosemead)
The Project limits on Rush Street from San Gabriel Boulevard to Walnut Grove Avenue is within
the City of Rosemead's jurisdiction and is shown in Attachment A. The proposed improvements
to Rush Street between San Gabriel Boulevard to Walnut Grove Avenue consists of the
installation of a Class II bike lanes and asphalt micro -surfacing on the existing roadway prior to
the installation of the proposed bike lanes, and restriping of crosswalks and installation of ADA
curb ramps at four (4) intersections.
The proposed Project constructs a continuous bicycle lane (Class II-III bike lanes) and various
improvements along corridor. These improvements will enhance safety conditions and provide
active transportation connectivity that is currently missing between the neighboring cities and
County areas. The Project will also provide greater accessibility and mobility for pedestrians,
cyclists, and transit users providing safe alternative modes of travel. The Project supports the
City's Strategic Goal C — Infrastructure and Facilities Action C.5 which is to "support projects
which incorporate multi -modal transportation systems."

to the Project, but no later than October 1st of the year the change or update is effective.
Should GRANTEE fail to meet this date, it may affect GRANTEE's ability to access funding,

on which is tax exempt for federal tax purposes (collectively, the "Bonds") to provide at least a
portion of its funding commitments under this Agreement to GRANTEE. GRANTEE shall
ensure that the expenditure of the Funds disbursed to GRANTEE does not jeopardize the tax -

to this Agreement. GRANTEE agrees to provide LACMTA with progress reports, expenditure
documentation, and any other documentation as reasonably requested by LACMTA and
necessary for LACMTA to fulfill its responsibilities as the grantee or administrator or bond

adopted October 2014. GRANTEE and RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES must have an adopted
Complete Streets Policy, an adopted City/County Resolution supporting Complete Streets, or
an adopted General Plan consistent with the California Complete Streets Act of 2008. This
shall be demonstrated through completion of the "Complete Streets Self -Certification" form
attached as Attachment G.
12. No changes to the (i) Grant amount, (ii) Project Funding, (iii) Scope of Work (except as
provided herein), (iv) Final milestone date, or (v) Special Grant Conditions, shall be allowed
without a written amendment to this FA, approved and signed by the LACMTA Chief
Executive Officer or his/her designee and GRANTEE. Modifications that do not materially
affect the terms of this FA, such as redistributing Funds among existing budget line items or
non -material schedule changes must be formally requested by GRANTEE and approved by
LACMTA in writing. Non -material changes are those changes which do not affect the grant
amount or its schedule, Project Funding, or the Scope of Work, including the Work schedule.

(Attachment C) without an amendment to the FA approved and signed by the
LACMTA Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee. To the extent LACMTA
provides GRANTEE with bond or commercial paper proceeds, such funds may
not be used to reimburse for any costs that jeopardize the tax-exempt nature of
such financings as reasonably determined by LACMTA and its bond counsel.
9.4. GRANTEE must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If GRANTEE
intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project,
LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with GRANTEE's
contracting procedures and consistent with State law as appropriate. GRANTEE
will also use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner when the Funds are
used to pay "in-house" staff time. In-house staff time for administrative work
(defined as work towards project management, invoicing, progress reporting,
and quality assurance/control) shall be limited to ten percent (10%) of the total
Project costs (the "Funds") that are reimbursed. This effective use of funds
provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going Project monitoring and
through any LACMTA interim and final audits.
9.5. GRANTEE'S and RESPONSIBLE AGENCIES' employees, officers, councilmembers,
board members, agents, or consultants (a "SPONSOR Party") are prohibited from
participating in the selection, award, or administration of a third -party contract or
sub -agreement supported by the Funds if a real or apparent conflict of interest
would be involved. A conflict of interest would include, without limitation, an
organizational conflict of interest or when any of the following parties has a

financial or other interest in any entity selected for award: (a) a SPONSOR Party; (b)
any member of a SPONSOR Party's immediate family; (c) a partner of a SPONSOR
Party; or (d) any organization that employs or intends to employ any of the above.
This conflict-of-interest provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going
Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.
9.6. If a facility, equipment (such as computer hardware or software), vehicle, or
property purchased or leased using the Funds ceases to be used for the proper use,
as originally stated in the Scope of Work, or the Project is discontinued, any Funds
expended for that purpose must be returned to LACMTA as follows: GRANTEE shall
be required to repay the Funds in proportion to the useful life remaining and in an
equal proportion of the grant to GRANTEE Funding Commitment ratio.
REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
Funds will be released on a reimbursement basis in accordance with invoices submitted in
support of the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports. LACMTA will make all
disbursements electronically unless an exception is requested in writing. Reimbursements
via Automated Clearing House (ACH) will be made at no cost to GRANTEE. GRANTEE must
register in LACMTA's iSupplier portal and submit an application before grant payments can
be made. The link to the portal can be found at
http://media.metro.net/uploads/EBB/Vendor o2OPortal%Registration.pdf. GRANTEE must
provide detailed supporting documentation with its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure
Reports. GRANTEE Funding Commitment, if any, must be spent in direct proportion to the
Funds with each quarter's payment.
REPORTING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS/PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS
11.1. GRANTEE shall submit a draft of the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report
(Attachment D-2) within sixty (60) days after the close of each quarter on the last
day of the months November, February, May, and August to the LACMTA Project
Manager for review and pre -approval of the applicable report. LACMTA Project
Manager shall review and respond in writing to the draft Quarterly
Progress/Expenditure Report within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt.
GRANTEE shall submit the LACMTA pre -approved Quarterly Progress/Expenditure
Report no later than five (5) days after receipt of LACMTA's written approval.
Should GRANTEE fail to submit either the draft or pre -approved reports within five
(51 days of the due date and/or submit incomplete reports, LACMTA will not
reimburse GRANTEE until the completed required reports are received, reviewed,
and approved. The Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report shall include all
appropriate documentation (such as contractor invoices, timesheets, receipts, etc.),
and any changes to interim milestone dates that do not impact the final milestone
date. All supporting documents must include a clear justification and explanation of

their relevance to the Project. If no activity has occurred during a particular quarter,
GRANTEE will still be required to submit the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report
indicating no dollars were expended that quarter. If a request for reimbursement
exceeds $500,000 in a single month, then GRANTEE can submit such an invoice
once per month with supporting documentation. Expenses that are not invoiced to
LACMTA Accounts Payable within ninety (90) days after the lapsing date specified

provided the Project is ready for final audit (meaning all costs and charges have
been paid by GRANTEE and invoiced to LACMTA, and such costs, charges, and
invoices are properly documented and summarized in the accounting records to
enable an audit without further explanation or summarization including actual
indirect rates for the period covered by the FA period under review). GRANTEE
agrees to establish and maintain proper accounting procedures and cash
management records and documents in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). GRANTEE shall reimburse LACMTA for any
expenditure not in compliance with the Scope of Work and/or not in compliance
with other terms and conditions of this FA. The allowability of costs for GRANTEE's

LACMTA through GRANTEE's Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report shall be in
compliance with OMB Circular A-87 or Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart
31 and 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 225 (whichever is applicable). Findings of
the LACMTA audit are final. When LACMTA audit findings require GRANTEE to
return monies to LACMTA, GRANTEE agrees to return the monies within thirty (30)
days afterthe final audit is sent to GRANTEE.
11.4. GRANTEE's records shall include, without limitation, accounting records, written
policies and procedures, contract files, original estimates, correspondence,
change order files (including documentation covering negotiated settlements),

records deemed necessary by LACMTA to evaluate and verify, direct and indirect
costs, (including overhead allocations) as they may apply to costs associated with
the Project. These records must be retained by GRANTEE for three (3) years
following final payment under this Agreement. Payment of retention amounts
shall not occur until after the LACMTA's final audit is completed.
11.5. GRANTEE shall cause all contractors to comply with the requirements of Part II,

including the access to records provisions of Part II, Section 11.
GRANT
This is a one-time only grant of the Measure M funds subject to the terms and conditions

any other funds for the Project, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
LACMTA.
13.2. GRANTEE shall fully fund and contribute the GRANTEE Funding Commitment, if

SCOPE OF WORK
CAPITAL PROJECT
PROJECT NAME: 19LRiggin-Potrero Grande Corridor Project
PROJECT LOCATION/LIMITS/AREA:
The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead, City
of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). The project limits
are on:
• W 1st St from Vancouver Ave to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1s1 St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,
• Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave
PROJECT DESCRIPTION INCLUDING METRO ACTIVE TRANSPORT PROGRAM AND
PROJECT NEXUS:
The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through
construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and crosswalk
enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San Gabriel Valley
cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed project proposes to
expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle transportation network and
enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase connectivity between homes, jobs,
public transit, schools, and recreational resources for a variety of road users in unincorporated
South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park, Montebello, and Rosemead.
Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park, is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities, which
includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The proposed hike
facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing bicycle facilities along
Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los Angeles, part of the Metro Gold
Line Eastside Access Phase II project. Missing sidewalks along Potrero Grande Dr discourages
Active Transportation by forcing pedestrians to walk in the street. This project will provide greater
accessibility and mobility for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users providing safe and productive
alternative modes of travel.
Project Early Planning phase will include preparation of the Public Participation Plan (PPP).
This plan will be implemented throughout the project. Project Planning phase will include

5. Project Description:
The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead,
City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project
limits are on:
• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,
• Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave
The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through
construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and
crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San
Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed
project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle
transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase
connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a
variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park,
Montebello, and Rosemead.
Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities
which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The
proposed hike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing
bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los

City Council on May 18, 2022.
COMPLETE STREETS POLICY OF CITY OF MONTEREY PARK
A. Complete Streets Principles
1. Complete Streets Serving All Users and Modes. The City of Monterey Park ("City") expresses its
commitment to creating and maintaining Complete Streets that provide safe, comfortable, and
convenient travel along and across streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions
of the transportation system) through a comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves
all categories of users, including pedestrians, users and operators of public transit, bicyclists, persons with
disabilities, seniors, children, motorists, users of green modes, and movers of commercial goods, and
emergency first responders.
2. Context Sensitivity. In planning and implementing street projects, the City will maintain sensitivity to
local conditions in both residential and business districts as well as urban, suburban, and rural areas, and
will work with residents, merchants, and other stakeholders to ensure that a strong sense of place ensues.
Improvements that will be considered include sidewalks, shared use paths, bikeways, paved shoulders,
street trees and landscaping, planting strips, accessible curb ramps, crosswalks, refuge islands, pedestrian
signals, signs, street furniture, bicycle parking facilities, public transportation stops and facilities, transit
priority signalization, and other features assisting in the provision of safe travel for all users.
3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant departments and agencies of
the City will work towards making Complete Streets practices a routine part of everyday operations,
approach every relevant project, program, and practice as an opportunity to improve streets and the
transportation network for all categories of users, and work in coordination with other departments,
agencies, and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation.
4. All Projects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable reasonably safe travel
along and across the right of way for each category of users will be incorporated into all planning, funding,
design, approval, and implementation processes for any construction, reconstruction, retrofit,
maintenance, operations, alteration, or repair of streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and
other portions of the transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given category of
users may be excluded if an exception is approved via the process set forth in section CA of this policy.
B. Implementation
1. Design. The City will generally follow its own accepted or adopted design standards, including those
promulgated by the County of Los Angeles and the State of California where appropriate, and will also
evaluate using the latest design standards and innovative design options, with a goal of balancing user
needs.
2. Network/Connectivity. The City will incorporate Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets
to improve the safety and convenience of all users, with the particular goal of creating a connected
network of facilities accommodating each category of users and increasing connectivity across
jurisdictional boundaries and for anticipated future transportation investments.
3. Implementation Next Steps. The City may take the following specific next steps to implement this
Complete Streets Policy:
A. Plan Consultation and Consistency: Maintenance, planning, and design of projects affectingthe
transportation system will be consistent with local bicycle, pedestrian, transit, multimodal, and
other relevant guidelines.
B. Stakeholder Consultation: Develop and/or clearly define a process to allow for stakeholder
involvement on projects and plans including, but not limited to, local bicycle and pedestrian
advisory groups, transit riders and operators, accessibility advisory groups, movers of commercial
goods, businesses, residents, emergency responders, and/or other stakeholders, as defined
necessary to support implementation of this Complete Streets policy.
4. Performance Measures. The City will perform evaluations of how well the streets and transportation
network are serving each category of users by collecting baseline data and collecting follow-up data on a
regular basis.
C. Exceptions
1. Exception Approvals. Complete Streets principles and practices will be included in street construction,
reconstruction, repaving and rehabilitation projects, as well as other plans and manuals, except under one
or more of the following conditions:
A. A project involves only ordinary, or emergency maintenance activities designed to keep assets
in serviceable condition, including but not limited to mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair,
concrete joint repair, pothole repair, or when interim measures are implemented on temporary
detour or haul routes.
B. The City Manager or designee finds that the cost of establishing a bikeway, walkway or transit
enhancement as part of a project is excessive and disproportionate.
C. The City Manager or designee determines that construction is not practically feasible or cost
effective because of significant or adverse environmental impacts on neighboring land uses,
including impact from right-of-way acquisitions.
D. Unless otherwise determined by the City Council, or by the Director of Public Works, that it is
not practically feasible or cost-effective to implement the provisions of this policy.
Exceptions described above will be documented in a memorandum to be included in the project file.

connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries and for existing and anticipated future areas
of travel origination or destination.
2.4. Traffic and Safety Commission Consultation. Transportation projects shall be reviewed
by the Traffic and Safety Commission early in the planning and design stage to provide
the Commission an opportunity to comment and recommend on Complete Street features
to be incorporated into the project.
2.5. Evaluation. All relevant Departments and Divisions shall perform annual programmatic
evaluations of how well the streets and transportation network of the City of Montebello
are serving each category of users by collecting baseline data and collecting follow-up
data on a regular basis. The Public Works Department shall develop appropriate
performance metrics and annually assess the need to update them. These performance
metrics shall be developed and updated in partnership with other relevant City
Departments and Divisions as well as outside agencies.
Based on the Federal Highway Administration exemption policy, exemptions to the
Montebello Complete Streets Policy may be granted if one of the following criteria is
met:
a. Bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law from using the roadway.
b. The cost of establishing bikeways or walkways would be excessively
disproportionate to the need or probable use. In unusual circumstances, such as
where natural features (e.g.. steep hillsides, shorelines) make it very costly or
impossible to accommodate all modes. "excessively disproportionate' is defined as
exceeding twenty percent of the cost of the larger transportation project.
c. Where sparsely of population or other factors suggest an absence of need. For
example, all construction or reconstruction of public streets must include sidewalk
improvements on both sides, unless the street is a cul-de-sac with few dwellings or
the street has severe topographic or natural resource constraints.
d. Transit accommodations are not required where there is no existing or planned
transit service.
e. Routine maintenance of the transportation network.that does not change the roadway
geometry or operations, such as mowing, sweeping, and spot repair.

5. Project Description:
The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead,
City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project
limits are on:
• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,
• Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave
The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through
construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and
crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San
Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed
project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle
transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase
connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a
variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park,
Montebello, and Rosemead.
Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities
which includes Class III and Class II hike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The
proposed hike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing
bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the fixture bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los

CITY OF ROSEMEAD COMPLETE STREETS POLICY
1. Complete Streets Principles.
1.1. Complete Streets Serving All Users. The City of Rosemead expresses its commitment to
creating and maintaining Complete Streets that provide safe, comfortable, and
convenient travel along and across streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges,
and other portions of the transportation system to the extent they are controlled by the
City) through a comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves all
categories of users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, motorists,
movers of commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, emergency
vehicles, seniors, children, youth, and families.
1.2. Context Sensitivity. In planning and implementing street projects, all departments of the
City of Rosemead shall maintain sensitivity to local conditions in both residential and
business districts and shall work with residents, merchants, and other stakeholders to
ensure that a strong sense of place ensues. Improvements that will be considered shall
include sidewalks, shared use paths, bicycle lanes, bicycle routes, bicycle boulevards,
paved shoulders, street trees, landscaping planting strips, accessible curb ramps,
crosswalks, pedestrian refuge islands, pedestrian signals, signs, street furniture, bicycle
parking facilities, public transit stops and facilities, transit priority signalization, and other
features assisting in the provision of safe travel for all users, such as traffic calming circles
and other traffic calming devices, transit bulb outs, and road diet.
1.3. Complete Streets Routinely Addressed by All Departments. All relevant Departments of
the City of Rosemead shall work towards making Complete Streets practices a routine
part of everyday operations; approach every relevant project, program, and practices as
an opportunity to improve streets and the transportation network for all categories of
users; and work in coordination with other departments, agencies, and jurisdictions to
maximize opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation. The
following example project types provide opportunities: pavement resurfacing, restriping,
accessing above and underground utilities, signalization operations or modifications, and
maintenance of landscaping/related features. In order to ensure coordination and
compliance with this Complete Streets Policy across all Departments and Divisions, the
City shall develop internal practices that guide routine staff actions and decisions. These
practices shall be developed and updated by the Public Works Department in partnership
with other relevant City Departments and Divisions. The Director of Public Works shall
identify one or more Complete Streets policy coordinator(s) within each Division or at
the Department level to oversee implementation of and future updates to this Policy.
1.4. All Proiects and Phases. Complete Streets infrastructure sufficient to enable reasonably
safe travel along and across the right of way for each category of users shall be
incorporated into all planning, funding, design, approval, and implementation processes
for any construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, operations, alteration, or
repair of streets (including streets, roads, highways, bridges, and other portions of the
transportation system), except that specific infrastructure for a given category of users
may be excluded if an exemption is approved via the process set forth in Section 3.1 of
this Policy.
2. Implementation.
2.1. Plan consultation and Consistency. Maintenance, planning, and design of projects
affecting the transportation system shall be consistent with applicable local bicycle,
pedestrian, transit, multimodal, and/or other relevant plans, except where such
consistency cannot be achieved without negative consequences, and if the head of the
relevant department provides written approval explaining the basis of such exemption.
Such exemption shall be presented to Traffic Commission to ensure that the Commission
has the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations.
2.2. Design. City of Rosemead will generally follow its own adopted design standards,
including Greenbook and Caltrans Highway Design Manual and California Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and will also evaluate using the latest design standards
and innovative design options with a goal of balancing user needs. The City shall continue
to develop and regularly update and adhere to a set of roadway design guidelines that
complies guidance from adopted plans, design manuals and local and national best
practices, covering but not limited to the following topics: bikeway design; pedestrian
design; traffic calming; roadway geometry signal operations; and other topics as deemed
appropriate by the Director of Public Works. Wherever possible, specific dimensioned
design details, cross-sections and plan views shall be provided for each of these
elements.
2.3. Street network/Connectivity. As feasible, the City of Rosemead shall incorporate
Complete Streets infrastructure into existing streets to improve the safety and
convenience of users and to create employment, with the particular goal of creating a
connected network of facilities accommodating each category of users, and increasing
connectivity across jurisdiction al boundaries and for existing and anticipated future areas
of travel origination or destination.
2.4. Traffic Commission Consultation. Transportation projects shall be reviewed by the
Traffic Commission early in the planning and design stage to provide the Commission an
opportunity to comment and recommend on Complete Street features to be
incorporated into the project.
2.5. Evaluation. All relevant Departments and Divisions shall perform annual programmatic
evaluations of how well the streets and transportation network of the City of Rosemead
are serving each category of users by collecting baseline data and collecting follow-up
data on a regular basis. The Public Works Department shall develop appropriate
performance metrics and annually assess the need to update them. These performance
metrics shall be developed and updated in partnership with other relevant City
Departments and Divisions as well as outside agencies.
3. Exemptions.
3.1. Leadership Approval for Exemptions. Projects that seek exemption from the Complete
Streets Policy must provide written finding of why accommodations for all modes were
not included in the project, and must receive written approval by the Public Works
Director or their designated representative.
Based on the Federal Highway Administration exemption policy, exemptions to the
Rosemead Complete Streets Policy may be granted if one of the following criteria is met:
a. Bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law from using the roadway.
b. The cost of establishing bikeways or walkways would be excessively disproportionate
to the need or probable use. In unusual circumstances, such as where natural
features (e.g., steep hillsides, shorelines) make it very costly or impossible to
accommodate all modes, "excessively disproportionate' is defined as exceeding
twenty percent of the cost of the larger transportation project.
c. Where sparse population or other factors suggest an absence of need. For example,
all construction or reconstruction of public streets must include sidewalk
improvements on both sides, unless the street is a cul-de-sac with few dwellings or
the street has severe topographic or natural resource constraints.
d. Transit accommodations are not required where there is no existing or planned
transit service.
e. Routine maintenance of the transportation network that does not change the
roadway geometry or operations, such as mowing, sweeping, and spot repair.

Chapter 7: Mobility Element
I. Introduction
The California Complete Streets Act of 2008 requires the General Plan to demonstrate how the
County will provide for the routine accommodation of all users of a road or street, including
pedestrians, bicyclists, users of public transit, motorists, children, seniors, and the disabled. The
Mobility Element addresses this requirement with policies and programs that consider all modes of
travel, with the goal of making streets safer, accessible and more convenient to walk, ride a bicycle,
or take transit.
The Mobility Element provides an overview of the transportation infrastructure and strategies for
developing an efficient and multimodal transportation network. The Element assesses the
challenges and constraints of the Los Angeles County transportation system, and offers policy
guidance to reach the County's long-term mobility goals. Two sub-elements—the Highway Plan and
Bicycle Master Plan—supplement the Mobility Element. These plans establish policies for the
roadway and bikeway systems in the unincorporated areas, which are coordinated with the networks
in the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. The General Plan also establishes a program to prepare
community pedestrian plans, with guidelines and standards to promote walkability and connectivity
throughout the unincorporated areas.
II. Background
Los Angeles County has one of the largest transportation systems in the world. Despite continuing
efforts to increase transportation services and build transportation infrastructure, transportation
systems are heavily burdened by the demands of a growing population and a diversity of activities.
Transportation is also one of the biggest contributors of noise, and greenhouse gases and other air
pollutants.
Regulatory Framework
Local agencies responsible for transportation services in Los Angeles County coordinate their
activities to comply with the goals and policies of Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). SCAG is the
federally designated regional transportation planning agency responsible for preparing the Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). Metro is the county -
level transportation planning agency responsible for the preparation of the Long Range
Transportation Plan (LRTP). The County, the 88 cities in Los Angeles County, and other
transportation agencies engage in transportation planning activities by participating in the
development and implementation of the RTP and LRTP.
The County participates in establishing policies, promoting specific projects, and funding the
strategies in the RTP and the LRTP. Each Los Angeles County Supervisor is a member of the Metro
Board of Directors, and two members of the Board of Supervisors serve on SCAG's Regional
Council, and on the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) Board of Directors.
Metro is also the Congestion Management Agency for Los Angeles County and is responsible for
implementing the Congestion Management Program (CMP). Metro is currently exploring the
development of a countywide congestion mitigation fee program to improve transportation roadways
including state facilities. This program, adopted locally by individual jurisdictions, would impose a fee
94
on new development that would be collected and spent locally on transportation projects that would
help to ease regional congestion. For more information, please visit Metro's web site at
http://www.metro.net/projects/congestion_mgmt—pgm/.
Transportation Systems in Los Angeles County
Public Transit
Los Angeles County is served by a large public transit system that includes rail systems and various
bus service options, such as transitways and bus rapid transit systems. Figure 7.1 depicts the major
public transit systems in Los Angeles County.
Figure 7.1: Major Public Transit Systems Map
Rail
Metro operates the Metro rail system, which is exclusively within Los Angeles County. The Metro rail
system consists of the following lines: Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold and Expo. The hub of the
system is in Downtown Los Angeles at Union Station. The Metro lines that primarily serve the
unincorporated areas include the Metro Blue, Green and Gold Lines. The Metro Blue Line stations
that serve the unincorporated areas include: Slauson, Florence, Firestone, Willowbrook and Del
Amo. The Aviation/LAX, Vermont, Hawthorne, and Rosa Parks stations along the Metro Green Line
also serve the unincorporated areas. The Gold Line has five stations that serve the unincorporated
areas: Indiana, Maravilla, East LA Civic Center, Atlantic and Sierra Madre Villa.
Two additional rail service operators that provide services in Los Angeles County are Metrolink and
Amtrak. The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operates the 416 -mile Metrolink
commuter rail system, which has its hub in Downtown Los Angeles at Union Station and extends to
Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties, and serves some of the
unincorporated areas. There is one Metrolink station located in the unincorporated community of
Acton, on the Antelope Valley Line. Amtrak provides interstate service from points around the
country to Union Station, as well as regional service between major cities throughout California.
Bus
With many regional and municipal operators providing bus services, buses provide the majority of
public transit service in Los Angeles County. Examples of these operators include Torrance Transit,
Foothill Transit, Santa Clarita Transit, and the Antelope Valley Transit Authority. According to
Metro's 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan, the transit providers in Los Angeles County
collectively operate 4,000 buses and serve 1.6 million bus riders daily.
The Metro bus system is the largest in Los Angeles County. Metro operates the Metro Rapid Bus
service, which runs on select surface street corridors with fewer stops and electronic signal switching
devices to expedite traffic flow, and the Metro Express Bus service, which are express bus routes for
a portion of the route and then local or limited routes in other areas. Metro also operates two bus
rapid transitways: the Orange Line and Silver Line. The Metro Orange Line operates on a dedicated
bus lane in the San Fernando Valley and also includes a separated bike path that runs along part of
the route. The Metro Silver Line operates between Downtown Los Angeles and the Artesia Transit
Center.
Furthermore, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW) operates fixed route
shuttle services in the following unincorporated areas: Willowbrook and King Medical Center Shuttle
M
services in Willowbrook; Athens Shuttle service in West Athens -Westmont; Lennox Shuttle service in
Lennox; Florence-Firestone/Walnut Park Shuttle service in Florence -Firestone and Walnut Park; EI
Sol Shuttle service in East Los Angeles; Sunshine Shuttle service in South Whittier; Avocado
Heights/Bassett/West Valinda Shuttle service in Avocado Heights, Bassett and West Valinda; East
Valinda Shuttle service in East Valinda; Edmund D. Edelman's Children's Court Shuttle service in
East Los Angeles; Los Nietos Shuttle service in Los Nietos; and Acton/Agua Dulce Shuttle service in
Acton and Ague Dulce. For detailed information on these shuttle services, please visit
http://www.lagobus.info. For data on monthly average boardings for the County shuttles, please refer
to Appendix D.
Paratransit
Paratransit is an alternative mode of flexible transportation that does not follow fixed routes or
schedules. Demand -responsive paratransit contractors are used to meet the needs of seniors and
mobility -impaired individuals living in the unincorporated areas.
The Whittier paratransit service operating in the unincorporated communities of North Whittier, West
Whittier—Los Nietos and South Whittier—Sunshine Acres has, on average, the highest number of
monthly boardings at 3,207. Unincorporated East Los Angeles has the second highest demand with
2,049 boardings on average per month. For detailed information on the County's paratransit
services, please visit http://www.lagobus.info. For additional data on average monthly boardings,
please refer to Appendix D.
Bikeways
The State Vehicle Code allows roadways to be used by bicyclists. Therefore, the entirety of surfaced
roadways, excluding freeways, may be used by the bicycling public even though they are not all
identified as bikeways. However, the lack of public awareness and the safety concerns associated
with road sharing create a need for bikeways with a grade separation, lane delineation, or
designated trail/path construction for bicycle users.
Bicycle Master Plan
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Master Plan, adopted in March 2012, provides policy guidance for
building a comprehensive bicycle network throughout the unincorporated areas. The Bicycle Master
Plan identifies bikeways and transportation systems that are available for use by bicyclists, such as
roadways with bike lanes or designated bike routes, and dedicated off-road bike paths, such as bike
paths along the flood protection channels. The purpose of the Bicycle Master Plan is to: 1) guide the
development of infrastructure, policies and programs that improve the bicycling environment; 2)
depict the general location of planned bikeway routes; and 3) provide for a system of bikeways that
is consistent with the General Plan.
The Bicycle Master Plan maps depict bikeways along roadways in the unincorporated areas and
along rivers, creeks, and flood protection facilities countywide. These bikeways may be used for both
recreational use and commuter travel.
The Bicycle Master Plan also includes data on collisions involving bicyclists and motor vehicles in
the unincorporated areas between the years 2004 and 2009. In total, there were 1,369 collisions,
including 25 fatalities. One of the goals of the Bicycle Master Plan is to reduce the number of
collisions by making bicycling more safe through the implementation of education programs and
network improvements. For more detailed data on collisions in the unincorporated areas, please
refer to Appendix D. To view the Bicycle Master Plan, including policies, programs, and the mapped
m
bicycle network, please visit DPW's Bicycle Master Plan web site at
hftp://dpw.lacounty.gov/go/bikeplan.
Pedestrian Networks
The diversity of communities in Los Angeles County creates distinct conditions, opportunities and
challenges for pedestrians. There are a number of trails and paths that are available for use by
pedestrians, such as sidewalks, hiking trails, over and under passes, and skywalks. Together, these
systems constitute a network for accommodating pedestrian travel.
Community Pedestrian Plans
The County is committed to improving the environment to allow for increased alternative
transportation uses. The General Plan includes a program to prepare community pedestrian plans
for the unincorporated areas that will set standards for sidewalks, street crossings, sidewalk
continuity, street connectivity, and topography. The community pedestrian plans will emphasize the
connectivity of pedestrian paths to and from public transportation, major employment centers,
shopping centers, and government buildings.
For more information on community pedestrian plans, please refer to Program M-2, Community
Pedestrian Plans in Chapter 16: General Plan Implementation Programs.
Freeway, Highway, and Local Road Networks
The highway network is comprised of the State Highway System, which consists of 915 freeway and
highway miles, and includes U.S. Interstate freeways and state -maintained freeways and highways,
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, and county and city highways. The California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) is the state agency responsible for the maintenance of freeways and
highways. Caltrans estimates that on average there are more than 100 million vehicle miles traveled
per day in Los Angeles County via the State Highway System. Figure 7.2 is a map of State
Highways and Freeways System that serves Los Angeles County.
Figure 7.2: Highways and Freeways Map
The County is responsible for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of roads
in the unincorporated areas, as well as in a number of local jurisdictions that contract with the
County for these services. DPW maintains over 3,100 miles of major roads and local streets in the
unincorporated areas and over 1,700 miles in 22 cities.
Highway Plan
The Los Angeles County Highway Plan provides policy guidance for building a comprehensive
highway network throughout the unincorporated areas. The Highway Plan provides a highway
system that is consistent with and supportive of the goals and policies outlined in the Land Use
Element. More specifically, the Highway Plan maintains right-of-way corridors to ensure space for
future facility improvements to accommodate alternative modes. This is important in urbanized areas,
which often have limited room for expansion, but are in need of additional facilities and
improvements, such as bike lanes, sidewalks, and bus service. This is also important in rural areas
to accommodate trails and landscaping, which encourage active transportation, provide shade, and
reduce runoff from pollutants.
The purpose of the Highway Plan is to: 1) depict the general location of planned highway routes; 2)
provide a means for protecting highway rights-of-way within the unincorporated areas; 3) establish a
97
plan and process for coordinating highway policies with neighboring cities and counties; and 4)
provide for a system of highways that is consistent with the General Plan.
The Los Angeles County Interdepartmental Engineering Committee (IEC), which is comprised of the
Director of Planning, the Road Commissioner, and the County Engineer, is charged with maintaining
the Highway Plan.
Figure 7.3 shows the Highway Plan, which includes locations of existing and proposed major arterial
highways. Although the County has no jurisdiction over roads in the 88 cities, or the freeways and
other state routes maintained by Caltrans, these roadways are included in the map for reference and
visual continuity. The Highway Plan roadway classifications and descriptions are provided in Table
7.1.

Table 7.1: Highway Plan Roadway Classifications
Classification
Description
Major Highway
This classification includes urban and rural highways that are of countywide
significance and are, or are projected to be, the most highly traveled routes. These
roads generally require four or more lanes of moving traffic, channelized medians
and, to the extent possible, access control and limits on intersecting streets.
In urban areas, the typical right-of-way width for these highways is 100 feet.
Alternative major highway sections may be established by the County to
accommodate features such as raised medians, bicycle facilities, and wider
parkways with varying right-of-way widths.
In rural areas, major highways are intended to maintain a rural appearance (without
curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to reflect the rural character of various communities
throughout Los Angeles County. The typical right-of-way width of a rural major
highway is 108 feet. Additional right-of-way may be required to accommodate other
transportation uses. In addition, beyond the ultimate road right-of-way, there may be
a need for additional dedications for trail purposes, to accommodate equestrian and
other non -vehicular uses.
Secondary Highway
This classification includes urban and rural routes that serve or are planned to serve
an areawide or countywide function, but are less heavily traveled than major
highways. Secondary highways also frequently act as oversized collector roads that
feed the countywide system. In this capacity, the routes serve to remove heavy
traffic from local streets, especially in residential areas. Access control, especially to
residential property and minor streets, is desirable along these roads.
In urban areas, secondary highways generally have four lanes of vehicular traffic on
80 feet of right-of-way. However, configuration and width may vary with traffic
demand and existing conditions. In a few cases, routes that carry major highway
levels of traffic are classified as secondary highways because it is impractical to
widen them to major highway standards. Alternative secondary highway sections
may be established by the County to accommodate features such as raised
medians, bicycle facilities, and wider parkways with varying right-of-way widths.
In rural areas, certain connector highways to and between rural communities are
also classified as secondary highways. These highways are intended to maintain a
rural appearance (without curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to reflect the rural character
of various communities throughout Los Angeles County. The typical right-of-way
M
Level of Service
DPW uses level of service (LOS) to assess the congestion of roadways in the transportation system.
Based on a roadway's volume -to -capacity ratio (the number of vehicles currently using the roadway
compared to the ideal maximum number of vehicles that can efficiently use the roadway), a letter
designation is assigned that represents the traffic flow conditions, or LOS. Letter designations "A"
through "F" represent progressively declining traffic flow conditions. LOS designations indicate
whether the roadways are operating in excess of their intended capacity. Acceptable LOS is
determined on a case by case basis, but generally, Level D is the desired minimum LOS. In some
instances, LOS below D will be deemed acceptable in order to further other General Plan goals and
policies, such as those that protect environmentally sensitive areas, promote active transportation,
and encourage infill development, particularly within the Transit Oriented Districts. For the freeway
system, DPW will work closely with Caltrans to identify potential significant traffic impacts and traffic
mitigations to alleviate traffic congestion within the unincorporated areas.
Table 7.2 provides the definitions for LOS A -F, which are based on the definitions in the
Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual.
M
width of rural secondary highways is 86 feet. Additional right-of-way may be required
to accommodate other transportation uses. In addition, beyond the ultimate road
right-of-way, there may be a need for additional dedications for trail purposes, to
accommodate equestrian and other non -vehicular uses.
Limited Secondary Highway
This classification includes urban and rural routes that provide access to low-density
areas.
In urban areas, limited secondary highways generally feature lower traffic volumes
and multimodal transportation facilities. The typical right-of-way width of these
highways generally ranges between 64-80 feet. Alternative secondary highway
sections may be established by the County to accommodate features such as raised
medians, bicycle facilities, and wider parkways with varying right-of-way widths.
In rural areas, limited secondary highways are generally located in rural
communities and remote foothill, mountain and canyon areas. These highways are
intended to maintain a rural appearance (without curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk) to
reflect the rural character of various communities throughout Los Angeles County.
The typical right-of-way width of rural limited secondary highways is 64 feet.
Additional right-of-way width may be required to accommodate left -turn pockets and
passing lanes may be provided when required for traffic safety. The right-of-way
may be increased for additional improvements where traffic or drainage conditions
warrant. In addition, beyond the ultimate road right-of-way, there may be a need for
additional dedications for trail purposes, to accommodate equestrian and other non-
vehicular uses.
Parkway
This classification includes urban and rural routes that have park -like features either
within or adjacent to the roadway. The right-of-way width required varies as
necessary to incorporate these features, typically with a minimum of 80 feet.
Roadway improvements vary depending on the composition and volume of traffic
carried.
Expressway
This classification includes urban and rural controlled -access highways connecting
communities. Expressways can generally accommodate six to ten traffic lanes and
are intended for thru-traffic, featuring full or partial control of access. The right-of-
way required varies as necessary to incorporate these features, but is typically 180
feet in width. Roadway improvements vary depending upon the composition and
volume of traffic carried.
Level of Service
DPW uses level of service (LOS) to assess the congestion of roadways in the transportation system.
Based on a roadway's volume -to -capacity ratio (the number of vehicles currently using the roadway
compared to the ideal maximum number of vehicles that can efficiently use the roadway), a letter
designation is assigned that represents the traffic flow conditions, or LOS. Letter designations "A"

LOS Type of Description
Flow
A
Free flow
Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver
within the traffic stream. Control delay at intersections is minimal.
The travel speed exceeds 85% of the base free-flow speed.

Stable flow
The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly
restricted and control delay at intersections is no significant. The
travel speed is between 67% and 85% of the base free-flow
speed.
C
Stable flow
The ability to maneuver and change lanes at midsegment
locations may be more restricted than at LOS B. Longer queues at
intersections may contribute to lower travel speeds. The travel
speed is between 50% and 67% of the base free-flow speed.
D
Approaching
Small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in delay
unstable
and decreases in travel speed. The travel speed is between 40%

Unstable
Significant delay is commonly experienced. The travel speed is
flow
between 30% and 40% of the base free-flow speed.
F
Forced flow
Congestion is likely occurring at intersections, as indicated by high
delay and extensive queuing. The travel speed is 30% or less of
the base free-flow speed.
Although DPW utilizes the above described LOS criteria for assessing the performance of, and
determining impacts to, roadways, DPW is currently working on the development of a multimodal
transportation planning function. This effort will ensure that transportation facilities are planned,
designed, and maintained to provide safe and efficient mobility for all users. Please refer to Program
M4, Multimodal Transportation Planning Function in Chapter 16: General Plan Implementation
Program, for more details.
Aviation Network
There are 15 public -use airports located in Los Angeles County and one military airport located on
San Clemente Island, as shown in Figure 7.4. The majority of passenger air transportation is
serviced through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank Airport, and the Long Beach
Airport. Table 7.3 is a list of the airports and owners.

Freight Rail Network
Los Angeles County has an extensive rail network that is focused on the efficient and safe
movement of goods throughout the region. An effective goods movement system requires the
elimination of at -grade crossings, and the creation and operation of rail networks, such as the
Alameda Corridor.
The Alameda Corridor is a 20 -mile rail cargo corridor, with a 10 -mile below -grade trench between
the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the central Los Angeles freight yard transfer stations.
The Alameda Corridor has been instrumental in efficiently transporting goods from the ports to inland
transfer stations. The Alameda Corridor East Project, which is an extension of the Alameda Corridor
Project, covers the area from central Los Angeles eastward 35 miles through the San Gabriel Valley,
past Pomona and onward to the transcontinental rail network. The $910 million endeavor of mobility
and safety improvements includes signalization upgrades, roadway widening, and 20 grade
separations.
Figure 7.5 shows the freight and passenger rail lines that run throughout Los Angeles County.
Figure 7.5: Freight and Passenger Rail Lines Map
101
Interstate, Highways, and Local Roads
The six -county SCAG region has about 53,400 road miles traversing incorporated and
unincorporated areas, 1,630 miles of which are interstate and freeway type. Sections of Interstate -
710, Interstate -605, State Route -60, and State Route -91 carry the highest volumes of truck traffic in
the region, averaging over 25,000 trucks per day in 2008. Other major components of the regional
highway network also serve significant numbers of trucks, including Interstate -5, Interstate -10,
Interstate -15, and Interstate -210, with some sections carrying over 20,000 trucks per day. These
roads carry a mix of local, domestic trade, and international cargoes. The arterial roadway system
also plays a critical role, providing "last mile" connections to the ports, manufacturing facilities,
intermodal terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Supportive Facilities
Harbors
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are key links in the global economy and can handle a
variety of cargo, including containers, bulk products, and automobiles. Combined, they are one of
the largest and most efficient international shipping ports in the country, and the fifth busiest
container port in the world. According to SCAG, the ports handled just under 120 million metric tons
of cargo imports and exports, valued at $336 billion in 2010. The ports also serve as a significant
tourism driver, as the largest cruise ship terminal on the West Coast, serving over a million
passengers per year.
Parking
A limited number of public parking lots are maintained in the unincorporated areas by a variety of
agencies, including Caltrans, Metro, the Los Angeles County Departments of Beaches and Harbors,
and DPW. Metrolink and Caltrans maintain park-and-ride lots adjacent to commuter rail stops. The
County owns and operates the following four park-and-ride lots: Studio City (Ventura Boulevard);
Pomona (Fairplex); San Dimas (Via Verde); and Acton (Acton/Vincent Grade Metrolink Station).
The County regulates on -street parking in certain high -traffic areas through restricted parking zones
enforced by the Sheriffs Department and California Highway Patrol. In addition, the Los Angeles
County Department of Regional Planning regulates parking for new developments by requiring an
adequate number of spaces to meet anticipated demand.
Terminals
Terminal facilities provide multiple uses, from park-and-ride lots for daily commuter vehicles to the
heavily used freight terminals that serve the ports. Fierce competition among West Coast cities for
international trade business has led to the planning and construction of an efficient terminal network.
The most notable terminal facilities are the intermodal terminal networks located in and around the
ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the goods transfer stations located near Downtown Los
Angeles, and several freight and trucking facilities in the City of Industry.
III. Issues
1. Providing Streets That Accommodate All Users
Historically, transportation planning and street design have focused on the efficient movement of
automobiles and not on the travel needs of pedestrians, equestrians, and bicyclists. In order to
102
create more welcoming places to walk, ride and bicycle, as well as to take transit, more emphasis
needs to be placed on these other viable modes of transportation. Furthermore, transportation
corridor designs should accommodate all users, including children, seniors, and the disabled.
Aesthetics and function are also important considerations when creating comfortable places to walk,
bicycle, and take transit. This can include landscaping, street furniture, and amenities, such as
benches and shelters at transit stops.
In a jurisdiction as diverse as the unincorporated areas, the approach to complete streets must be
flexible and street designs must be context -sensitive. For example, complete streets in rural areas,
such as the Antelope Valley, could look and feel very different from complete streets in urban
communities, such as Willowbrook and Florence -Firestone.
2. Creating a Multimodal Transportation System
Single occupant vehicle use is associated with the highest level of land consumption among all
transportation modes, and generates the highest level of environmental impacts. Estimates from the
American Community Survey suggest that 74 percent of residents in the unincorporated areas drive
alone to work, compared with 13 percent that carpool and 6 percent that use public transportation.
The percentages for walking and bicycling are even lower, at less than 2 percent each. To
encourage alternative modes and discourage single occupant vehicle use, the County can facilitate
an interconnected, multimodal network of streets, equestrian trails, alleys, paths, greenways, and
waterways where people can choose to walk, bicycle, ride, take transit or drive. The key to achieving
a functional and sustainable multimodal transportation system is to provide efficient connections
between different modes. For example, bicyclists can conveniently travel to farther destinations if
they have the option to board the transit system with their bicycles. Multimodal options, such as
bicycling and walking are cost-effective, energy efficient and healthy alternatives to driving.
Additionally, creating bike -friendly and walkable communities is a critical component in meeting the
County's greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction goals, while enhancing vibrant, livable
communities.
Mobility management is an important component of a multimodal transportation system. Highway
congestion results in major social costs, and long travel times and congestion increase energy and
oil usage, exacerbate automobile emissions, and diminish the region's quality of life. In addition, long
delays and congestion negatively impact the region's economy. According to SCAG, by failing to
address congestion in the region, jobs have been lost --every 10 percent decrease in congestion can
bring an employment increase of about 132,000 jobs.
Mobility management is an important strategy for improving congestion and reducing VMTs. Mobility
management strategies are designed to be used alone, or in concert with other policies to have a
cumulative effect on the efficiency of the transportation system. Such strategies include the use of
technologies in the development of transportation facilities and infrastructure, such as liquid and
compressed natural gas, and hydrogen gas stations, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and
electric car plug-in ports. Mobility management also refers to transportation demand management
(TDM), which includes strategies that change travel behavior and discourage the single occupant
driver, such as offering employer -based transit passes or increasing transit availability; regional
carpooling programs; and parking management. One of the most effective TDM strategies is
arguably congestion pricing.
Achieving a multimodal transportation system will require a greater investment in transit, pedestrian,
and bicycle infrastructure. New proposals, such as tolling major freeways, double -decking highways,
and/or raising the gas tax, all have varying levels of political and popular support. However, paying
for transportation infrastructure will remain a critical planning issue. To plan efficient, functional and
103
cost-effective transportation networks, including public transit, roadways, and alternative
transportation, the County should leverage investment with the planning, financing and management
of other jurisdictions' transportation efforts. The County must work with transportation planning
agencies on infrastructure, capital improvements and programming in areas where the General Plan
focuses growth.
3. Connecting Transportation and Land Use Planning
For any transportation system to be effective, healthy and sustainable, all aspects—streets, freeways,
public transit, highways, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and freight movement—must be coordinated
with land use planning. Land use and mobility are inherently linked. For example, sprawling single
use development encourages driving. In another example, denser, communities with a mix of land
uses that encourage transit use, walking, and bicycling are healthier and sustainable.
Land use planning and urban design are important factors in developing transit use and multimodal
transportation options. Historically, streets have been designed to move the maximum amount of
automobile traffic. Congested roadways and high on -street parking demand create insufficient space
to accommodate bike lanes. In addition, a frequent complaint of bicyclists is the absence of
adequate facilities to secure bicycles at public and private buildings or facilities. Many of the
commercial corridors in mature urbanized areas are underutilized and in need of redevelopment.
Strengthening mixed land uses and promoting compact development in these areas, in concert with
design standards for rights-of-way, can help encourage walking and bicycling for shorter trips, as
well as make transit more accessible. This is certainly true in the first -last mile connection to transit,
which is the portion of a transit trip between a transit stop and one's final destination. At its April
2014 meeting, the Metro Board approved the First Last Mile Strategic Plan and Planning Guidelines,
which aims to "better coordinate infrastructure investments in station areas to extend the reach of
transit, with the ultimate goal of increasing ridership." The First Last Mile Strategic Plan details an
extensive toolbox of pedestrian and cycling facilities that would make it safer and more convenient
for riders to walk and bike to and from a transit stop. The strategies and tools identified in this
Strategic Plan should be considered and utilized by the County, when feasible, during future
planning efforts within the Transit Oriented Districts. The First Last Mile Strategic Plan is available
online at: http://media.metro.net/docs/sustainability_path_design_guidelines.pdf. Finally, an
important consideration in rural areas is to ensure that land uses account for equestrian uses,
including the development of feeder trails and regional trails, to address equestrian mobility issues.
Because of the nature and financing of regional transportation networks, transportation planning is
fragmented among many jurisdictions, agencies and County departments. Effective inter -
jurisdictional collaboration, and public-private partnerships are essential to creating an efficient and
multimodal transportation network.
4.Safe and Efficient Movement of Goods
The safe and efficient movement of goods is an important mobility issue that significantly impacts the
economy. Goods movement has been negatively impacted by inefficient transportation networks.
The ports, airports, rail lines and intermodal transit terminals have existing capacity constraints that
undermine the efficiency and productivity of the goods movement system. In addition, the existing
roadway and rail networks are reaching capacity. As a result, the system is susceptible to
disruptions, which causes delays that reduce the quality of services and increase costs to
consumers. Furthermore, the roadways and rail networks that accommodate the movement of goods
are shared by motorists and passengers, which raises additional concerns over efficiency and safety.
104
The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are heavily investing in infrastructure to handle a
projected doubling of container volumes. However, the ports have also been identified as one of the
largest sources of air pollution in the region. In addition, terminal operations and supporting
infrastructure are consumptive land uses, and are often characterized as having heavily polluting
activities. The ports have created a Clean Air Action Plan in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality
Management District to reduce emissions related to port operations.
The 2012-2035 RTP/SCS describes a goods movement system with initiatives and projects totaling
nearly $50 billion through 2035 for SCAG's six -county region, including Los Angeles County. Key
regional initiatives include a comprehensive system of zero- and/or near -zero -emission freight
corridors, alleviation of major bottlenecks, a rail package totaling approximately $12 billion, and an
environmental strategy to address emissions through both near term initiatives and a long term
action plan for technology advancement. The comprehensive system of zero- and/or near -zero -
emission freight corridors includes Interstate -710. The rail package includes main line capacity
enhancements, on -dock and near -dock rail facility improvements, and 71 grade separations. In
addition, critical projects to facilitate access to the ports (e.g., improvements to the Gerald Desmond
Bridge), and to alleviate congestion at critical border crossings, are underway.
Regional Clean Freight Corridor System
In past RTPs, SCAG has envisioned a system of truck -only lanes extending from the ports to
Downtown Los Angeles along Interstate -710, connecting to an east -west segment, and finally
reaching Interstate -15 in San Bernardino County. Such a system would address the growing truck
traffic on core highways throughout the region and serve key goods movement industries in a
manner that mitigates impacts on communities and the environment.
East-West Freight Corridor
The 2012-2035 RTP/SCS identifies a corridor concept that connects to the north end of the 1-710
freight corridor and roughly parallel the Union Pacific Railroad Los Angeles Subdivision before finally
following a route adjacent to SR -60 just east of SR -57. The potential use of two non -roadway routes
provides an opportunity to move the facility away from neighborhoods and closer to the industrial
activities that it would serve. Utilizing a right-of-way of approximately 100 feet, the bi-directional
corridor would be restricted to truck traffic and have limited ingress/egress points. The East-West
Freight Corridor would be a catalyst for the use of zero -and/or near -emission truck technologies,
improving air quality for communities near the corridor and throughout the region.
Bottleneck Relief
The 2012 RTP/SCS allocates an estimated $5 billion toward goods movement bottleneck relief
strategies. Examples of bottleneck relief strategies include ramp metering, extension of merging
lanes, ramp and interchange improvements, capacity improvements, and auxiliary lane additions.
Additional project concepts will continue to be refined through SCAG's Comprehensive Regional
Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy.
Truck Corridors and Localized Arterials
While SCAG's effort is regional in scope, Metro is working to identify a County -Wide Strategic Truck
Arterial Network (CSTAN) for Los Angeles County. The CSTAN will be informed by collection of data
including truck counts on arterials, existing truck routes, connectivity to goods movement facilities,
the location of bottlenecks, identification of land uses along truck routes and where they overlap with
active transportation areas. The information is expected to guide funding priorities for projects such
105
as roadway widening, road repair and intersection improvements while minimizing potential conflicts
between trucks and active transportation facilities.
While truck route studies have been performed at the council of government level, Metro is
coordinating a countywide effort in recognition that truck routes frequently traverse subregions. As a
key stakeholder and steward of public rights-of-way in the unincorporated areas, DPW serves as a
technical advisor to the CSTAN program.
Air Travel and Cargo
SCAG expects air travel in the region to continue to grow. LAX, for instance, is the sixth busiest
airport in the world and third busiest in the United States, offering more than 565 daily flights to 81
domestic cities and more than 1,000 weekly nonstop flights to 66 international destinations on more
than 75 air carriers. It ranks 13th in the world in the amount of air cargo tonnage handled. In 2010,
LAX served more than 59 million passengers, processed more than 1.9 million tons of air cargo
valued at nearly $84 billion, and handled 575,835 aircraft operations (landings and takeoffs).
A $4.11 billion capital improvement program is underway at LAX, generating nearly 40,000 local
jobs. The program's centerpiece is the $1.5 -billion Bradley West Project with new gates for the
latest -generation aircraft; new concourses and seating areas; new retail and food and beverage
offerings; and expanded areas for more efficient security screening, immigration and customs
processing. There also are several major airfield and facility projects, including a new Central Utility
Plant, new taxiways and taxi lanes, and multi -million -dollar renovations --undertaken by both Los
Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and the airlines --to other terminals.
5. Impacts of Transportation on Natural and Community Resources
Transportation systems, goods movement activities, and automobile use directly affect quality of life.
This includes traffic congestion, truck intrusion into neighborhoods, safety, land use incompatibility,
poor air quality and related health impacts, restricted mobility and delay at rail crossings, noise and
vibration impacts, and visual impacts. Significant short- and long-term air quality impacts directly
result from goods movement activities, such as emissions from ocean ships, diesel trucks, as well as
increased auto -emissions, which in turn contributes to climate change.
The expansion and operation of transportation systems, which invariably affect biological resources
and water quality, can be mitigated to lessen the negative impacts on resources. One key ecological
issue is the effect of increased runoff from paved surfaces, which increases sediment movement,
destroys aquatic habitat, and redistributes road -source pollutants. A second crucial ecological issue
is potential negative impacts of human transportation systems on biological resources. Human
transit is often responsible for transporting non-native species to ecosystems that do not have any
natural defenses against the new threats. At the same time, transit infrastructure creates physical
barriers across wildlife habitats and corridors that can reduce the mobility of local species, contribute
toward mortality, and threaten genetic diversity. As discussed in the Public Services and Facilities
Element, the majority of stormwater runoff is discharged directly into the Pacific Ocean. The General
Plan provides policies that support transportation systems that treat and infiltrate stormwater runoff
to mitigate the environmental impacts of the runoff.

Green Streets
Green streets is a sustainable stormwater management and landscaping strategy that utilizes a combination of
increased permeable surfaces and planted areas, soil filtration, vegetative bio-retention and underground stormwater
retention basins to maximize groundwater recharge. Green streets not only improve water quality and drainage, but
also improve mobility and promote complete streets through traffic calming. They also enhance the pedestrian
experience through sustainable landscaping, such as bio-swales, street trees, rain gardens, and planters.

CLOSEOUT REPORTING POLICY FORM
Grantees are required to establish project goals and to identify basic performance indicators
to be collected in order to measure the effectiveness of the projects. Grantees will be asked to
collect and submit data and a Closeout Report to LACMTA upon completion of the project.
Evaluations will need to be completed before and after projects are constructed. The costs for
project evaluation shall be included in the project budget. At minimum, projects will be
evaluated for their effectiveness in improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety and enhancing
connectivity and mobility. Additionally, projects will be evaluated against the specific goals
and objectives established in this program, including those related to innovative partnership
and project delivery. Examples of the methods of evaluation are detailed below.
Safety: Projects will aim to reduce the occurrence and severity of vehicle -pedestrian
and vehicle -bicyclist crashes. Progress towards this goal can be measured by
evaluating collisions and the details surrounding them, including where they
occurred, when they occurred, who was involved, and what precipitating actions took
place. Progress towards this goal also can be evaluated qualitatively through user
interface surveys (e.g., assessing perceived safety of walking and bicycling).
Resources: Transportation Injury Mapping System and Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System (SWITRS).
Connectivity/Mobility: Projects will aim to increase the number and percent of
people walking or bicycling, and/or accessing transit on foot or bike. Progress
towards this goal can be measured by counting the number of pedestrians and
bicyclists using the constructed facilities. Bicycle and pedestrian counts should be
taken on a mid -weekday and weekend, excluding winter months. The "after" counts
should not be taken until six (6) months after the completion of the project. Bicycle
and pedestrian count data should be uploaded to the SCAG/Metro Bike Count Data
Clearinghouse. Progress towards this goal also can be measured by counting the
number of households within a quarter -mile of a low -stress bicycle facility, the
number of jobs within a quarter -mile of a low -stress bicycle facility, and the number
of destinations (e.g., schools, medical centers, parks, etc.) within a quarter -mile of a
low -stress bicycle facility. Progress towards this goal also can be evaluated
qualitatively through user interface surveys.
• Project Partnerships and Delivery Approaches: Cycle 1 places a strong emphasis on
innovative/experimental project partnerships and delivery. This priority can be
evaluated through the assessment of project delivery timelines, as well as compiling
and analyzing qualitative input from project sponsors and participants.

5. Project Description:
The project is located in the following jurisdictions: City of Monterey Park, City of Rosemead,
City of Montebello and Unincorporated Area (Los Angeles County Public Works). This project
limits are on:
• W 1st Street from Vancouver Avenue to Atlantic Blvd,
• Atlantic Blvd from W 1st St to W Riggin St,
• W Riggin St from Atlantic Blvd to Fulton Ave,
• Fulton Ave from E Riggin St to E Markland Dr,
• E Markland Dr from Fulton Ave to Potrero Grande Dr,
• Potrero Grande Dr from E Markland Dr to San Gabriel Blvd,
• Rush St from San Gabriel Blvd to Walnut Grove Ave
The project brings active connectivity to major activity and transportation centers through
construction of long segments of missing sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and
crosswalk enhancements. There is also a lack of regional bicycle connectivity between San
Gabriel Valley cities, with many bicycle facilities dropping at city boundaries. The proposed
project proposes to expand alternative modes of travel by increasing existing bicycle
transportation network and enhancing pedestrian facilities. These measures will increase
connectivity between homes, jobs, public transit, schools and recreational resources for a
variety of road users in unincorporated South San Gabriel, Cities of Monterey Park,
Montebello, and Rosemead.
Riggin St, in the City of Monterey Park is the only street that has existing bicycle facilities
which includes Class III and Class II bike routes from Atlantic Blvd to Wilcox Ave. The
proposed bike facilities will extend and provide continuity and a connection to the existing
bicycle facilities along Riggin St and to the future bicycle lanes along 1st St in East Los
Angeles part of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Access Phase II project. Missing sidewalks
along Potrero Grande Dr discourages Active Transportation by forcing pedestrians to walk in
the street. This project will provide greater accessibility and mobility for pedestrians, cyclists,
and transit users providing safe, productive alternative modes of travel. Identify participating
agencies roles and responsibilities.
