State Route 710 Study: Alternatives Analysis

December 2012


OVERVIEW:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) proposes transportation improvements to improve mobility and relieve congestion in the area between State Route 2 (SR 2) and Interstates 5, 10, 210 and 605 (I-5, I-10, I-210, and I-Caltrans, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority605, respectively) in east/northeast Los Angeles and the western San Gabriel Valley. The study area for the State Route 710 (SR 710) North Study as depicted on Figure 1-1 is approximately 100 square miles (sq mi) and generally bounded by I-210 on the north, I-605 on the east, I-10 on the south, and I-5 and SR 2 on the west. Caltrans is the lead agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The SR-710 North Freeway Alternative (Tunnel) is included in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2012–2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2012 RTP/SCS), which was found to be conforming by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)/Federal Transit Administration (FTA) on June 4, 2012. The project is also in the 2015 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), which was found to be conforming by the FHWA/FTA on December 15, 2014, and Metro’s 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The Project is proposed to be funded entirely or in part by Measure R, a half-cent sales tax dedicated to transportation projects in Los Angeles County.
