Mobility Plan 2035

Citywide General Plan Circulation System Maps


The Citywide General Plan Circulation System maps establish the designated street classifications
for arterial streets, scenic highways, divided streets, and depict modified segments as well. Any
changes to these street designations would require a general plan amendment.

The first maps that displays all of the arterial streets onto a single map describes the “generalized circulation”
meaning that further details such as whether a street is divided, modified, or a scenic highway are not depicted.
The hollowing sub-area maps provide a more detailed description of the streets’ complete designation as a
divided, modified, or scenic highway in addition to its primary designation as a Boulevard or Avenue.

Scenic Highways depicted within the City of Los Angeles have special controls for protection and enhancement of scenic
resources. Scenic Highway Guidelines (for those designated scenic highways for which there is no adopted scenic corridor
plan) are presented in the appendices of this Plan. Proposed streets are depicted in the Community Plans, consistent with
General Plan standards and criteria (see Policy 3.12 on proposed streets). Community Plans also designate collector streets.

Transportation, Health and


Land Use Connection
Information is also becoming increasingly
available on the relationships between
the built environment, health, and the
economy. Improved urban design (wider
sidewalks, street trees, street lighting,
parking design, less parking, and better
access to transit) increases both the
utilization of active transportation modes
and spurs community interaction, which
in turn can improve the health of an area’s
residents and increase economic activity.

Discussion

S afety is at the foundation of a Complete Streets policy – to design and operate streets in a
way that enables safe access for all users, regardless of age, ability, or transportation mode
choice. Safety consistently ranks as a top priority for many in the City of Los Angeles and is an
important factor in creating livable neighborhoods. People want streets to be safe, stress-free
places for all ages and all modes of travel. In terms of transportation, concerns for physical safety
stem from traffic speeds, roadway conflict between different modes of travel, and infrastructure.
Safety is a key issue when deciding whether to walk, bike, drive, or take transit.

• Vision Zero: Decrease transportation related fatality rate to zero by 2035.

• Increase the number of adults and children who receive


in-person active transportation safety education, in areas
with the highest rates of collisions, by 10% annually.

• Ensure that 80% of street segments do not exceed targeted operating speeds by
2035. (Refer to Complete Streets Design Guide for targeted operating speeds).

• Establish 100 school slow zones operating within 1/2 mile of schools by 2035.

• Increase the percentage of females* who travel by bicycle to 35% of all riders
by 2035. (*The presence of females riding on a bikeway is typically cited as
an indicator that the bikeway provides a safe and comfortable environment
for less experienced riders. Therefore, this measurement is a good proxy
for understanding the degree to which a particular bikeway has succeeded
in attracting the range of bicyclists between eight and 80 years of age).
