Los Angeles Community Plan Update Program: Westchester - Playa del Rey


Working closely with Kaku Associates, Inc., Raju was involved in the development of a transportation improvement and mitigation program for the Los Angeles Department of City Planning (LADCP) and Department of Transportation (LADOT) for the Westchester-Playa del Rey Community Plan Area. As part of this study, a detailed travel demand forecasting model was developed based on the City of Los Angeles General Plan Framework and the regional models from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

In addition, advanced GIS techniques were utilized in the development of the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) system, the representation of land-use and socio-economic data by census geography, and the preparation of exhibits showing system supply components including multiple modes for evaluation of deficiencies in network connectivity and other analyses. A regional circulation analysis consistent with the requirements of the Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County was prepared as well. In the end, a document including all these elements was prepared in a manner that could easily be incorporated into the CEQA documentation for the community plan area.
