Lincoln Avenue Pedestrlen Pathway Connectivity I Park Lane to Santiago Greek __. � ' � - Ate The City of Los Angeles recently selected Tetra Tech to provide design services and design support during construction for two Active Transportation Projects, the Boyle Heights Linkage Project Description (ATP 2) and the Arts District Pedestrian/Cyclist Improvement Project (ATP 3). The ATP 2 project area is comprised mostly of industrial, commercial and manufacturing facilities, and some residential facilities, consisting mainly of a low-income public housing development. There is little pedestrian use of the streets within the ATP 2 project area because of its industrial nature and poor pedestrian facilities. ATP 2 aims to improve pedestrian safety and access to the City of Los Angeles' Sixth Street Viaduct and Sixth Street PARC Projects. In addition to serving all City residents, the project specifically aims to improve the pedestrian circumstances for users of the Aliso Pico Recreation Center, Pecan Recreation Center, and Boyle Heights Technology Youth Center. The project will directly benefit the adjacent low-income and senior housing community near 4th Street and Clarence Street. The ATP 3 project area is characterized by a complex street system of very long blocks with few safe crossing locations, complicated intersections, end very limited bike facilities that create mobility challenges for residents, workers and visitors to the district. Many of the streets lack sidewalks, or have very narrow sidewalks, since most streets were built to handle large freight trucks making deliveries and pick-ups at area factories and warehouses where long loading docks and wide driveways take the place of sidewalks for pedestrians. The long blocks and the Inadequate amount of controlled pedestrian crossings, limit pedestrian accessibility across wide streets with fast moving vehicles and decrease the connectivity between destinations in the community.
