CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVE
WHEREAS, the Coastal Corridor Transportation Initiative is a cooperative effort

transportation agencies and the private sector; and
WHEREAS, a safe and efficient functioning multi -modal transportation system is
essential to the quality of life and economic vitality of the South Bay cities; and,

Freeway to the north, from 1 -10 to Slauson Avenue, east on Slauson Avenue to
Arlington Avenue, south on Arlington Avenue to 1 -105, east on 1 -105 to Western
Avenue, south on Western Avenue to Pacific Coast Highway. This area was
determined to include the heart of the South Bay transportation system as well as areas
beyond its boundaries that influence mobility within the South Bay; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the Coastal Corridor Transportation Initiative is to
develop a "portfolio" of projects which constitutes a comprehensive and strategic
approach to matching transportation investments and policies to expected growth and
changing land use patterns in the Coastal Corridor; and,
WHEREAS, Phase 2 of the Coastal Corridor Transportation Initiative has
identified approximately $300 million of improvements needed to address current and
projected system deficiencies and includes projects identified from other SBCCOG
initiatives such as the Rosecrans Corridor and 1 -405 studies; and
WHEREAS, this "portfolio" of project was developed in a "bottoms -up" approach
that included participation by all the cities in the Corridor; and,
WHEREAS, this "portfolio" of projects is comprised of a multi -modal array of
projects, including: locally- identified arterials; freeway and freeway ramp; transit; grade -
crossings; and bikeways; and,
WHEREAS, grouping these improvements together into the "Coastal Corridor
Transportation Initiative" will better enable the SBCCOG, its member cities and the
Westside Cities to compete for Federal, state and regional transportation funding:
