## LOS ANGELES Low-Rise / General Development News + Construction This thread is designated for miscellaneous low-rise projects of any stage in development. At YIMBY, low-rises are considered buildings of less then 10 stories (100 feet). Projects of 10 or more stories (100+ feet) are deserving of their own thread in the appropriate category. Significant projects of less than 10 stories (100 feet) are eligible to an individual thread. Los Angeles’s general development news can also be tracked here. ---

The line runs from Artesia northwest to Union Station, cutting through the cities of Cerritos, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey, South Gate, Cudahy, Bell, Huntington Park and Vernon. It would provide key connections to other lines, helping build out a rail system decades in the making. But with costs ballooning to $8.5 billion — more than double the original estimate — the Metropolitan Transportation Authority decided to construct the project in two segments. Local leaders have complained about the long wait for rail service. “These are communities that need and deserve a project like this,” county Supervisor Janice Hahn, a Metro board member, said at a news conference on Friday. The poverty rate in the region is 47% and about 1 in 5 residents don’t have access to a car, according to Metro. “I cannot help but be a little frustrated at how long it’s taken us to get to this point,” said Hahn, who represents areas of the southeast corridor. “These communities are in such high need, but I’ve seen other lines get prioritized.” The rail line was part of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s plan to build 28 transit projects by the 2028 Olympics. The first 14.8-mile phase runs from Artesia along a former Pacific Electric right of way to Slauson Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard, where it would connect with the A (formerly Blue) line. Groundbreaking for the $4.9-billion phase is slated for next year and completion about 10 years later. The second phase heads north 4.5 miles from the Slauson depot to Union Station and is set to be completed by 2043. About half of the line is planned to run underground through Little Tokyo, where Metro construction disrupted businesses for years and tunneling is driving up costs. On Thursday, led by Hahn, the Metro board unanimously approved a plan that will look at cheaper alternatives to tunneling that could accelerate construction for the second phase. In an hours-long public comment period, dozens of elected officials representing the communities along the rail line pleaded with the board to speed up the timeline. “We have been waiting too long,” said Maria Davila, a South Gate City Council member for 19 years. “We don’t have any other source of transportation in the corridor except for buses and the 710 [Freeway], which is always crowded.” Davila said the project has been talked about for two decades. She is a founding board member of Eco-Rapid Transit, a joint powers authority created by southeast communities two decades ago to get a rail line built. “Hopefully I will get to see it in my lifetime.” The rail line was a cornerstone of Measure M, a $120-billion half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2016, which gained widespread support among elected officials in the region. Along with Measure R, approved in 2008, the tax fueled a rail construction boom. Several changes to the original 2017 project drove up costs, including adding 2.3 miles of underground tunneling, aerial bridges over intersections, the relocation of utility lines and a transfer station to the C (formerly Green) Line at the 105 Freeway. ---

This is great news. We who love wildlife have been waiting a long time for this to be built. I live not far from it. ---

Yes, it will bring a myriad of benefits even beyond the original intent of the structure, including increasing biodiversity and etc. And with the 340 or so million in the infrastructure bill I hope to see a lot more projects like this go through. ---

If I recall correctly the vast majority of this project is privately funded. There has been a lot of locals who are against this project complaining of tax dollars or money in general being “waisted”. It has been (I think) at least 10 years since it was first proposed. Maybe longer. ---

Quote: **Construction begins on $12 million mountain lion crossing on Highway 17 in Santa Cruz Mountains** By PAUL ROGERS [progers@bayareanewsgroup.com](mailto:progers@bayareanewsgroup.com) Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: February 18, 2022 at 2:08 p.m. UPDATED: February 18, 2022 at 4:23 p.m. For years, a sweeping, treacherous curve on Highway 17 through the Santa Cruz Mountains has posed risks for motorists zooming between Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz beaches. But it’s been deadly for another group of travelers: Mountain lions, deer and other wildlife, which have been killed in surprisingly high numbers there while trying to cross the highway. In a unique effort being watched by biologists around the state, crews on Wednesday began construction on a $12 million project to build an underpass for mountain lions and other wildlife under the four lanes of Highway 17 at Laurel Curve. Ten years in the making, the project was made possible when the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County pieced together roughly 700 forested acres near the curve in multiple purchases. Funding came from private donations, Caltrans contributed $3 million, and $5 million came from county transportation funds. “It’s a critical chokepoint for wildlife,” said Sarah Newkirk, executive director of the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County. “We’re anxious to see this project get off the ground.” On average 65,000 vehicles a day race over the hair-raising curves of Highway 17. The drivers cross the San Andreas Fault and bisect redwood forests along the roadway, a former stage coach route that dates back to the 1850s. All of that traffic through the forest comes at a cost to wildlife and people. Roughly 350 animals were killed on Highway 17 in collisions with vehicles between 2012 and 2017, including four mountain lions attempting to cross the high-speed traffic at Laurel Curve. Another nine mountain lions were killed on Highway 17 from 2000 to 2012, according to data from Pathways for Wildlife, a Los Gatos firm that uses Caltrans collision data, remote cameras and other sources. There are roughly 60 mountain lions in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Highway 17 is their largest source of mortality, said Chris Wilmers, a professor of environmental studies at UC-Santa Cruz who tracks mountain lions. Not only do such accidents kill wildlife, they often cause thousands of dollars of damage to vehicles and can cause injuries or even human deaths . . . . > **[In a US first, California will pilot solar-panel canopies over canals](https://electrek.co/2022/08/26/in-a-us-first-california-will-pilot-solar-panel-canopies-over-canals/)** > > In 2021, scientists published a feasibility study about erecting solar panels over canals, and it's about to become a reality. ---

Here in Ventura county the local paper reported last week that there will now be an effort to build another wildlife crossing in the Newbury Park area of The City of Thousand Oaks approximately 7 miles from the Liberty Canyon wildlife crossing that will start construction this year. Both will be crossing the 101 FWY connecting the Santa Monica mountains with the back country of Ventura County and neighboring LA County.
