Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)

• Mode

– Light Rail Transit

• Stations

– Exposition/Crenshaw, Crenshaw/Martin Luther King Jr., Crenshaw/Slauson, Florence/West, Florence/La Brea, Aviation/ Manchester (optional), Aviation/Century (aerial)

• Alignment

– Aerial Grade Separations: La Brea, La Cienega/I-405, Manchester, Century – Below Grade: 39th to 48th Sts., 59th to Victoria Ave, adjacent to LAX South runways – Balance of project at grade

• Cost :

– $1,360 million (in 2008 dollars)

Final EIS/EIR / Engineering Activities

• Further environmental

technical analysis, design, cost refinement and regulatory agency review of:

– LPA – Design Option 3: Potential Centinela grade separation – Design Option 5: Additional station near Vernon Ave – Design Option 6: Below Grade Exposition / Crenshaw Connection

• Identify and environmentally

clear alternate Maintenance Facility Sites

Supplemental Maintenance Facility Site Analysis Activities

• Identify sites
• Perform supplemental analysis

– Traffic impacts, displacements, noise, air quality and capital costs

• Re-circulate portions of Draft Environmental Impact

Report (DEIR) related to maintenance facilities to satisfy California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

• Conduct Environmental Assessment (EA) to satisfy

requirements of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

• Conduct community meetings

5

• Identify potential

sites

• Identify/prioritize

evaluation criteria
