Per the Los Angeles Planning and Zone Code the project site is designated PF-1 for public facilities use.
Document Description
The proposed project would include the construction of a four-lane (two lanes in each direction) connector road between Valley Boulevard and Alhambra Avenue a distance of approximately 1,600 feet (487 meters). The alignment would be "S" shaped and would begin at Valley Boulevard (aligned with the SR-710 of-ramp) near the southern limit of the project site, and would connect with Lowell Avenue near the northern limit of the project site. The connector road would travel beneath an underpass that would be constructed to carry the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks on the north end of the project site. Alhambra Avenue between Lowell Avenue and the City of Alhambra boundary would be realigned to improve operation and traffic safety. The west side of the SR-710 northbound off-ramp would be re-striped and the right turn pocket lane will be extended by approximately 400 feet as part of the proposed project. The connector road is intended to relieve traffic congestion in the community surrounding the SR-710 terminus.
