How Did We Determine Days/Hours?

Option Impact

Night Work • Residents • Hotel guests

Weekend Work • Residents • Restaurant Lunch • Tourists

Minimize Work Area • Safety of workers • Liability on non-standard plans • Increased work days • Steel plates on street longer

Reduce Eastbound Wilshire: 1 left turn lane, 1 thru lane

• Safety issue • Traffic backup on Wilshire

Day Work • Restaurant Lunch

SCE Phase 1, Alternative

July 14th thru Fall 2017* • Proposed work hours: 9am to 4pm Mon-Fri, Sunday 10am to 6pm

• Alternative work days:

– Left turn restrictions

– Sunday (10am-6pm) to Wednesday (9am-4pm)

– Wilshire reduced to two lanes each direction

– Longer work window translates to longer duration of steel plates on street

Monitoring and Adjustment

• COBH/Metro traffic engineers will monitor traffic

• Signal timing adjustments

• Crosswalk timing adjustments

• Potential to deploy Traffic Control Officers (TCO)

• Monitor bus stops and zones

32

Construction Philosophy

1.Humans!

2.Construction is dynamic.

3. Adjustments can be made.

33

Out of the Box Thinking • Close Cannon at Wilshire?

• Create roundabout • Pedestrian/event area • Traffic study to analyze

• Full closure of Wilshire? • Create pedestrian friendly zone • Sound walls to block noise • Could reduce overall schedule

*Council approval required.
