Title
ONE-WAY STREETS / PICO AND OLYMPIC BOULEVARDS
Subject
Motion - In January 2007, Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky hired a traffic consultant to analyze the feasibility of turning Olympic and Pico Boulevards into one-way streets from downtown Los Angeles to the City of Santa Monica. The traffic consultant has completed a preliminary analysis. The potential impact to residential neighborhoods of any proposal to convert major thoroughfares into one-way streets necessitates a thorough analysis and consideration of all potential community impacts. Such analysis must include a thorough assessment of the potential impacts to residential neighborhoods as well as a quantitative analysis of potential benefits in terms of reduced travel times and congestion relief. Analysis of this proposal must also include broad community input. THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Department of Transportation to report back in 60 days with a review and analysis of Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's consultant study on the feasibility of turning Olympic and Pico Boulevards into one-way streets from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica. The report should address potential impacts to surrounding streets and neighborhoods. In addition, LADOT shall engage in comprehensive community outreach during the preparation of their report.
