> Mobility Plan 2035 Open House
The Department of City Planning invites you to an open house on March 24, 2015. Stop by anytime during the event to get information, ask questions, and give comments on the Mobility Plan and its Recirculated Draft EIR (Environmental Impact Report).

Tuesday March 24, 2015
6pm – 8pm, presentation at 7pm
Deaton Civic Auditorium
100 W. First Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012

The Recirculated Draft EIR and updated Mobility Plan were released on Feb 19, 2015. The Plan reflects three new policies (policies 2.9, 2.16, 2.17) and minor changes recommended at City Planning Commission on November 20, 2014. The RDEIR incorporates project revisions and additional analysis in response to comments received on the Draft EIR released last year. All documents are available to view at:  la2b.org/documents or our Planning Dept webpage. The public comment period is February 19 – April 6, 2015. Based on the current timetable, the department plans to present the Plan and Final EIR to City Planning Commission in May 2015.

It is important to note that the comments already received on the Draft EIR will be responded to in the Final EIR.  Therefore, if reviewers have the same comments on the Recirculated Draft EIR as they had on the Draft EIR, they need not submit the same comments on the Recirculated Draft EIR, as the comments will be addressed in the Final EIR.

Please check out LA2B.org for more info on the project!

>Five Year Implementation Strategy
As a precursor to the May CPC hearing, the Mobility Plan draft Five Year Implementation Strategy (Strategy) will be presented to CPC on March 12th The commissioners had asked us to come (before the Plan is in front of them for a vote) to share this draft implementation strategy. The Strategy and staff report will be up on our department’s website and at our la2b.org website later this week  The Strategy is still very much a work in progress and we are continuing to work with the various City departments to refine priorities and establish strategic five year milestones. Input from the March 12th meeting will shape the Strategy as we refine it in preparation for the May CPC meeting.
