57 Intersections and the Funding for ATSAC

Before we really begin, below in red, is the area where it appears that 127 signalized intersections will have ATSAC completely installed by (hopefully) February, 2009.

After viewing the map, FIFTY-SEVEN signalized intersections will be posted so that you can see where the work on these first intersections, actually are.

There are, however, some very important intersections not covered by the City of L.A.'s Traffic Department, as far as ATSAC installation goes. Those intersections, important in the Ponte Vista discussions are also posted below.


Here is the list of the FIFTY-SEVEN signalized intersections that will have ATSAC fully installed according to a timeline that will be addressed further down the post.

You will learn that between May, 2008 and February, 2009, these FIFTY-SEVEN intersections, including many on Western Avenue, will get the installation completed. There is no evidence, in the funding listed below, that Mr. Bisno has placed funds in the "Available Developer Fees" section. I believe he has stated that he would put something like "five-million dollars" into the funds available for traffic mitigation.

Now it is sadly true that the following signalized intersections are not listed, because these intersections fall completely within the City of Rancho Palos Verdes or Lomita, and would be installed by Caltrans and not the City of L.A.

Western Avenue at Avenida Aprenda
Western Avenue at S. John Montgomery/Green Hills Drive
Western Avenue at Caddington
Western Avenue at Toscanini
Western Avenue at Palos Verdes Drive North
Anaheim/Gaffey/Normandie/Palos Verdes Drive North....Five Points.

I don't have any documentation yet, on the status of Caltran's work on these intersections.

It is also demonstrated by ommission that the following freeway ramps are also not mentioned on the document.

Anaheim at Harbor Freeway
Pacific Coast Highway at Harbor Freeway.

Now, here is how the funds are found and dispersed:
Total Project Cost: $8,015,600.00

Funding:

$3,825,000 "MTA Share by Agreement"
$185,000 "Available Developer Fees." (These fees are already in the coffers)
$4,005,600 "Proposition C Funds Required in FY 2007-08 and Beyond Budtets"?

I will try, in the next few days, to get the SEVENTY other signalized intersections posted and try and get more information concerning the intersections near the Ponte Vista at San Pedro site that are not listed on either of the lists.
