12-8-04 - This day's Council session - Motion - Weiss Mover 2004 / Villaraigosa - Traffic is the top quality of life concern in the West Los Angeles area of Council District 5. Motorists, pedestrians, residents, and local businesses are frustrated by unsafe driving, cut through routes in residential neighborhoods, gridlock, and delays.
The Century City Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan (NTMP) was designed to improve traffic flow on main arteries and discourage use of smaller residential streets. Improvements and mitigations in the plan are funded by revenues from development projects in the area, and some additional mitigation funds will be available for future traffic projects.
Traffic planning must be addressed regionally to ensure a coordinated and effective strategy for safety and smooth flow. Mitigations must balance drivers' needs with the reasonable requests of residents.
THEREFORE MOVE that a new Council District 5 Regional Traffic Task Force be
established to include representatives of neighborhood organizations in the West Los Angeles area of Council District 5. The Task Force will coordinate with the existing and planned traffic studies of other organizations within the area to evaluate plans, and develop recommendations for improving traffic conditions in the area. The Task Force will be responsible to advise the City Council of the best possible use of available funds for improvements and mitigation. The Task Force will provide regular updates and recommendations directly to the City Council's Transportation Committee.
