1 4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS J. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC 1. INTRODUCTION This section describes potential impacts associated with construction and operational transportation and parking. The section analyzes construction traffic; intersection capacity; the regional transportation system; public transit; access and circulation, including pedestrian and bicycle safety; and parking. The evaluation of intersection capacity examines the impact of the Phase 1 and Full Buildout conditions of the Project relative to existing and future conditions. This section is based on the Traffic Study prepared by Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc. dated May 2016, included as Appendix J 1 of this Draft EIR, which provides more detailed information, data, and analyses. The Traffic Study was prepared pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), which is included as Appendix A of the Traffic Study. The methodology and findings of the Traffic Study were approved by LADOT in an Inter Departmental Correspondence to the Department of City Planning on June 14, 2016; this correspondence precedes the Traffic Study in Appendix J 1 of this Draft EIR. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING a. Existing Conditions (1) Study Area Street System The Project Site is located in the in the Downtown community. The Study Area includes a geographic area of less than one mile that is generally bounded by 8 th Street to the north, Los Angeles Street to the east, Santa Monice Freeway (I 10) to the south, and the Harbor Freeway (I 110/SR 110) to the west. Figure 4.J 1, Traffic Study Area and Analyzed Intersection Locations, depicts the Study Area and the intersections analyzed for potential Project impacts. As described in further detail below, the Study Area is well served by a network of freeways and streets. 1 The streets in the Study Area are under the jurisdiction of the. Freeways are under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). (a) Freeways Primary regional access to the Project Site is provided by the I 110/SR 110, located approximately 0.3 miles to the west, and the I 10, located approximately 0.5 miles to the south. I 110/SR 110 generally runs in the northeast south direction. In the vicinity of the Project Site, I 110/SR 110 provides three travel lanes in each direction. Access to and from I 110/SR 110 is available via interchanges at 11th Street/Chick Hearn Court and 9th Street. I 10 generally runs in the east west direction. In the vicinity of the Project Site, I 10 provides four travel lanes in each direction. Access to and from I 10 is available via interchanges at Flower Street, Grand Avenue, and Los Angeles Street. 1 More detailed information regarding the major arterials in the Study Area and lane configurations are presented in the Traffic Study, which is included as Appendix J 1 of this Draft EIR. 4.J 1

2 4.J. Transportation and Traffic September 2016 An analysis was conducted on four freeway mainline segments: two along the SR 110, one along the US 101, and one along the I 10. LOS is a measure used to describe traffic flow conditions or the freedom to maneuver within traffic stream. The LOS ranges from nearly free flow traffic at LOS A to breakdown and oversaturation at LOS F. The definitions of the LOS levels are shown in Table 4.J 1, Congestion Management Program Level of Service Definitions for Freeway Segments. As shown in Table 21 of the Traffic Study, two of the four freeway segments (SR 110 south of US 101 and I 10 at Budlong Avenue) currently operate at LOS E or F during either the AM or PM peak hour. (b) Roadways The Project Site is served by a grid of streets that are generally oriented toward the north south and eastwest directions. The major arterials providing regional and sub regional access to the Project vicinity include Figueroa Street and Olympic Boulevard. The Mobility Plan 2035 (Mobility Plan), which was adopted in January 2016 and is a comprehensive update of the Transportation Element, provides the City's classification system for roadways. The Mobility Plan also provides revised street standards in an effort to provide a more enhanced balance between traffic flow and other important street functions including transit routes and stops, pedestrian environments, bicycle routes, building design, and site access. Although the Mobility Plan was approved, a lawsuit filed on September 9, 2015, seeks to halt its implementation. Given the uncertain legal environment surrounding implementation of the Mobility Plan, the following is a brief description of the major roadways in the Study Area including the classifications under the Mobility Plan and the Transportation Element: Blaine Street, located west of the Project Site, is a designated Collector Street in the Mobility Plan. Blaine Street is oriented in the north south direction and provides two travel lanes, one in each direction, north of Olympic Boulevard and two southbound travel lanes south of Olympic Boulevard. Unmetered parking is generally available on both sides of the street north of Olympic Boulevard and south of 11th Street. Unmetered parking with PM peak hour restrictions is generally unavailable on the west side of the street between Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street. (Blaine Street is designated as a Secondary Highway in the Transportation Element.) LA Live Way is a designated Collector Street between Pico Boulevard and 11th Street/Chick Hearn Court and a designated Local Street south of Pico Boulevard and north of 11th Street/Chick Hearn Court in both the Mobility Plan and Transportation Element. LA Live Way is oriented in the north south direction and is located southwest of the Project Site. LA Live Way provides four travel lanes, two in each direction, and leftturn lanes at intersections between Pico Boulevard and 11th Street/Chick Hearn Court, and four travel lanes in the northbound direction south of Pico Boulevard. Parking is unavailable on either side of the street. Georgia Street is a designated Collector Street in both the Mobility Plan and Transportation Element. Georgia Street is oriented in the north south direction, located west of the Project Site, and provides four travel lanes, two in each direction. Two hour unmetered daytime parking with nighttime restrictions (except by parking permit) is available north of Olympic Boulevard. Parking is generally unavailable south of Olympic Boulevard. Francisco Street is a designated Collector Street in both the Mobility Plan and Transportation Element that runs in the north south direction. Francisco Street is located northwest of the Project Site, and provides four travel lanes, two in each direction. Parking is generally unavailable on either side of the street. 4.J 2

No vehicle waits longer than one red light and no approach phase is fully used. B VERY GOOD. An occasional approach phase is fully utilized; many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of vehicles. C GOOD. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; backups may develop behind turning vehicles. D FAIR. Delays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive backups. E POOR. Represents the most vehicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. F > FAILURE. Backups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue lengths. a Transportation Research Circular No. 212, Interim Materials on Highway Capacity, Transportation Research Board, Source: Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc., J 8

Table 4.J 4, Existing Transit Service Patronage Lines Serving the Project Site, summarize the total residual capacity of the Metro, DASH, Commuter Express, and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus during the AM and PM peak hours based on the frequency of service of each line and the maximum seated and standing capacity of each bus. As shown therein, the total residual capacity of the bus lines within the Project periphery during the A.M. and P.M. peak hours is approximately 4,508 and 3,922 transit trips, respectively. In addition, the Metro Blue Line, Expo Line, Red Line, Purple Line, Silver Line, Foothill Transit, OCTA, and Torrance Transit bus lines provide additional capacity for transit trips during both the AM and PM peak hours. (5) Bicycle Network Based on the Bicycle Plan (Los Angeles Department of City Planning, 2010), the existing bicycle system in the study area consists of a limited number of bicycle lanes (Class II) and bicycle routes (Class III). Bicycle lanes are a component of street design with dedicated striping, separating vehicular traffic from bicycle traffic. These facilities offer a safer environment for both cyclists and motorists. Bicycle routes and bicycle friendly streets, which are located on collector and lower volume arterial streets, are those where motorists and cyclists share the roadway and there is no dedicated striping of a bicycle lane. Bicycle routes with shared lane markings, or sharrows, remind bicyclists to ride further from parked cars to prevent collisions, makes motorists aware of bicycles potentially in the travel lane, and shows bicyclists the correct direction of travel. 4.J 17

22 4.J. Transportation and Traffic September 2016 There are designated bicycle facilities on several streets within the Study Area, including dedicated bicycle lanes and bicycle routes as follows: Bicycle Lanes (Class II) Grand Avenue Olive Street Main Street north of Venice Boulevard Spring Street north of 9 th Street 7 th Street west of Main Street 11 th Street east of Broadway Bicycle Routes (Class III) Figueroa Street south of Olympic Boulevard Venice Boulevard west of Figueroa Street Broadway north of 11 th Street The City s 2010 Bicycle Plan is incorporated into the Mobility Plan. As with the street designations of the 1999 Transportation Element, the Mobility Plan redesignates the bicycle facilities based on the Bicycle Enhanced Network (Low Stress Network) and a Bicycle Lane Network. The Bicycle Enhanced Network is comprised of protected bicycle lanes and bicycle paths. Although some routes are incorporated into the Bicycle Enhanced Network and Bicycle Lane Network, the Backbone Bikeway Network and Neighborhood Bikeway Network are relatively unchanged from the 2010 Bicycle Plan. Within the Project vicinity, Bicycle Lanes are proposed in the 2010 Bicycle Plan for Figueroa Street, Flower Street, Hill Street, 11 th Street east of Main Street, Pico Boulevard, and Venice Boulevard. Bicycle Routes/bicycle friendly streets are also proposed on Hope Street north of Pico Boulevard, 11 th Street west of Main Street, and Pico Boulevard east of Hope Street. The dedicated bicycle lanes on Figueroa Street are estimated to be installed by the completion of Phase 1 of the Project (second quarter of 2020). As shown in the Mobility Plan, within the Study Area the Bicycle Enhanced Network designates Figueroa Street (between 7 th Street and 11 th Street), and 11 th Street (between Figueroa Street and Broadway) for priority planned bicycle lanes, and 11 th Street (west of Figueroa) for inclusion in the Priority Neighborhood Enhanced Network. The Bicycle Lane Network would include priority planned bicycle lanes on Venice Boulevard/16 th Street and planned bicycle lanes on Flower Street, Hill Street, Pico Boulevard, and Washington Boulevard. (6) Pedestrian Routes The walkability of existing facilities is based on the availability of pedestrian routes necessary to accomplish daily tasks without the use of an automobile. These attributes are quantified by WalkScore.com and assigned a score out of 100 points. With the various commercial businesses and entertainment facilities 4.J 22

23 September J. Transportation and Traffic adjacent to residential neighborhoods of the Downtown area and proximity to public transit, the walkability of the Downtown area is approximately 90 points; 2 this compares to the citywide score of 64 points. The sidewalks that serve as routes to the Project Site provide proper connectivity and adequate widths for a comfortable and safe pedestrian environment. The sidewalks provide connectivity to pedestrian crossings at intersections within the Study Area. The following signalized intersections provide pedestrian facilities to limit illegal mid block crossings to the Project Site (all intersections have marked pedestrian crossings on all approaches): No. 12: Figueroa Street/Olympic Boulevard No. 13: Figueroa Street/11 th Street No. 18: Flower Street/Olympic Boulevard No. 19: Flower Street/11 th Street Each of the listed signalized intersections provides pedestrian phasing, crosswalk striping, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) wheelchair ramps. The pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Figueroa Street and 11 th Street provides connectivity between the Project Site and LA LIVE to the west. The Neighborhood Network, established in the 2010 Bicycle Plan, could also serve local pedestrian activity, as recognized in the Mobility Plan. The Neighborhood Enhanced Network has designated the following streets within the Study Area as part of the Neighborhood Network: Hope Street between Pico Boulevard and 6th Street, Hill Street south of 6th Street, Pico Boulevard east of Hope Street, and 11th Street east of Main Street. The Pedestrian Enhanced District of the Mobility Plan has designated the arterial streets within the Study Area as Pedestrian Segments, where pedestrian improvements could be prioritized to provide better connectivity to and from major destinations within communities. As shown on Map F of the Mobility Plan, these include the following streets adjacent to the Project Site: Figueroa Street, Flower Street, and Olympic Boulevard. (7) My Figueroa Project My Figueroa Project is a four mile long streetscape project that includes Figueroa Street (between 7th Street to 41st Street), 11th Street (between Figueroa Street and Broadway), and Martin Luther King Dr. Boulevard (between Figueroa Street and Vermont Avenue). The My Figueroa Project would provide a complete, multimodal street that better serves the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders, while still accommodating drivers. The My Figueroa Project would add better signalization and signage, high visibility crosswalks, transit platforms, and more street trees; develop a three mile long bikeway to connect downtown Los Angeles with south Los Angeles and expand the City s bicycle network; and create separated cycle tracks, where bicycles would be separated from roadway traffic to decrease injury crashes between non motorized and motorized users. Within the Study Area, Figueroa Street (between 11 th Street and Venice Boulevard) would be improved to include four travel lanes, two in each direction, as well as a bus only lane and a two way left turn median. Between 7 th Street and Olympic Boulevard, Figueroa Street would be 2 WalkScore.com( rates the Project Site(1020 S. Figueroa Street) with a score of 90 of 100 possible points(scores accessed on March 16, 2016 for the Downtown Los Angeles district). Walk Score calculates the walkability of specific addresses by taking into account the ease of living in the neighborhood with a reduced reliance on automobile travel. 4.J 23

24 4.J. Transportation and Traffic September 2016 improved to include three travel lanes in the northbound direction and a bus only lane. 11 th Street (between Figueroa Street and Broadway) would be reduced from two lanes westbound to one lane westbound. Upgraded signal controllers would be installed along Figueroa Street and 11th Street within the Study Area, however, the improved operations along the corridors were conservatively not considered as part of the future year analyses. The installation of a raised bus platform is also proposed along Figueroa Street north of 11th Street, adjacent to the Project Site. (8) Los Angeles Streetcar Project The Los Angeles Streetcar Project would revive the historic streetcar service that one spanned 600 miles of the City in the early 20 th Century. The proposed four mile route of the Los Angeles Streetcar project would closely follow the alignments that originally ran through Downtown. In the vicinity of the Project Site this includes 11 th Street and Figueroa Avenue. The Los Angeles Streetcar is estimated to begin operation in b. Regulatory Framework (1) State (a) Congestion Management Program The CMP is a State mandated program enacted by the State legislature and was last updated in The program is intended to address the impact of local growth on the regional transportation system. Statutory requirements of the CMP include monitoring LOS on the CMP Highway and Roadway network, measuring frequency and routing of public transit, implementing the Transportation Demand Management and Land Use Analysis Program, and helping local jurisdictions meet their responsibilities under the CMP. Metro, the local CMP agency, has established a Countywide approach to implement the statutory requirements of the CMP. This approach includes designating a highway network that includes all State highways and principal arterials within the County and monitoring traffic conditions on the designated transportation network; performance measures to evaluate current and future system performance; promotion of alternative transportation methods; analysis of the impact of land use decisions on the transportation network; and mitigation to reduce impacts on the network. If LOS standards deteriorate, then local jurisdictions must prepare a deficiency plan to be in conformance with the Countywide plan. The CMP requires an EIR to evaluate traffic and public transit impact analyses for select regional facilities based on the quantity of project traffic expected to use those facilities. The CMP guidelines state that areas selected for analysis should be those that include the following locations: All CMP arterial monitoring intersections, including monitored on or off ramp intersections, where the proposed project will add 50 or more trips during either the A.M. or P.M. weekday peak hours of adjacent street traffic; and Mainline freeway monitoring locations where the project will add 150 or more trips, in either direction, during either the A.M. or P.M. weekday peak hours. 3 Los Angeles Streetcar, Accessed June 15, J 24
