Information on any project's surroundings and locale should first be discussed following any project description. It should be described as a different transportation assessment section. The section offers a brief yet comprehensive description of the existing infrastructure & conditions around the project.
Usually, the project vicinity gets defined as the ¼-mile radius in the vicinity of the project site.
But note that a larger area might be required during any scoping process. A specific boundary of transportation assessment area for both locale & project impact analysis must be confirmed during any initial discussion or scoping procedure with LADOT. The transportation assessment area's boundaries are subject to LADOT revision upon the initial impact analysis.
The project context section must include information with the details directed by the LADOT during any scoping process. Here are the details to note down:
- Street designations, modal priorities, and classifications as identified in the 2035 Mobility Plan. The street information might also be found on the following maps in any Transportation Element of the General Plan: Transit Enhanced Network; Citywide General Plan Circulation System; Bicycle Enhanced Network; Neighborhood Enhanced Network; Vehicle Enhanced Network; Bicycle Lane Network; Goods Movement, and Pedestrian Analysis.
