LA Metro Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2, Los Angeles, CA

Agency: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (METRO)

Morgner’s Role: Project Alternatives Analysis, Environmental Clearance and Conceptual Engineering Consulting Services

Project Description:

Morgner’s scope of work consisted in contacting, meeting and coordinating with public and private agencies to complete utility As-Built information along the proposed alignments. We also prepared composite existing utility plan sheets and in preparing rearrangement composite existing and proposed utility plan sheets. This scope was completed in 2010-17.

In 2018, Metro approved the Team to further study the three LRT alternatives in a revised/supplemental Draft EIS/EIR. Our scope was to provide Economic & Fiscal Impacts associated with property acquisitions for right-of-way or where construction staging areas may result in property tax revenue losses to the County and local jurisdictions based on the property location. We evaluated Construction-Related Economic Impacts consisting of temporary impacts of construction on commercial and industrial businesses, particularly those near or adjacent to construction sites, and provided Noise and Vibration Assessments. All potential noise impacts were carefully evaluated and where identified, appropriate mitigation measures were developed.
