PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Mobility Plan 2035 (MP 2035) is a comprehensive revision of the adopted 1999 City of Los Angeles Transportation Element of the General Plan that will guide mobility decisions in the City through year 2035, coupled with supporting documents and discretionary actions to further align the City’s street standards, processes and procedures with the goals of the MP 2035.  Proposed components of MP 2035 include: (1) Policies – that support identified goals and objectives; (2) Map Atlas – that identifies:  a) Enhanced Complete Street System – that includes selected roadways for pedestrian, bicycle, transit, or vehicle enhancements and proposed and programmed projects from a variety of sources; b) Generalized Circulation System (Highways and Freeways map); c) Scenic Highways; d) Goods Movement; and (3) Action Plan – that identifies programs that support implementation of the Plan’s goals and policies and aids the City in achieving its objectives (implementation of all or a portion of the Action Plan is incumbent upon staffing capacity and future funding).  MP 2035 is further supported by a Complete Streets Design Guide, an update to the Complete Street Standards (Standard Plan S-470) and a Five-Year Implementation Strategy.

The proposed MP 2035 includes a number of changes from the initial version circulated in February 2014, including additional miles on the Transit Enhanced Network (TEN), a Neighborhood Enhanced Network (NEN) to support neighborhood pedestrian activity, and an expanded Bicycle Enhanced Network (BEN).  One important change to Westwood Boulevard was made in response to the multiple transportation demands on Westwood Boulevard, now and in the future, with the opening of Exposition Phase II.  The MP 2035 now proposes to include Westwood Boulevard on the TEN while retaining existing short portions on the BEN (north of Santa Monica Boulevard to Le Conte Avenue).  The TEN designation on Westwood Boulevard is proposed as a moderate enhancement which would not remove a vehicle travel lane.  Remaining portions of Westwood Boulevard would retain their existing bicycle lanes.

The Recirculated Draft EIR analyzes environmental impacts of the proposed MP 2035 including all changes and has been reformatted to more clearly present the project description and project impacts; each threshold is separately described and impacts assessed.

(The Draft MP 2035 is being recirculated for comment at the same time as the Recirculated Draft EIR.)
