Statement of Service
The Village at Playa Vista
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
Raju Associates, Inc. completed the preparation
of a traffic study for the Village at Playa
Vista Project EIR. The Village at Playa Vista
project is a mixed use project with 2,600
dwelling units, 175,000 square feet of office,
150,000 square feet of neighborhood serving
retail and 40,000 square feet of community
serving uses. As part of this effort, a detailed
sub-regional travel demand forecasting model
using the City of Los Angeles General Plan
Framework model and the Southern California
Association of Government’s (SCAG) regional
travel demand forecasting model was developed
and validated to baseline conditions. This model
was then utilized to develop forecasts for the
future year 2010 both with and without the
proposed Village Project and its alternates.
State-of-the-art post processing techniques were
developed to convert link level model data to
intersection turning movement forecasts for use
in the study.
Utilizing the intersection forecasts, traffic
impacts were assessed and mitigation measures
were developed. The effectiveness of these
mitigation measures was tested in the model and
residual traffic impacts were identified. Raju
Associates was also actively involved in the
assessment of technical feasibility of the
proposed mitigation measures as well as in the
identification of secondary impacts due to the
mitigation measures for this project.
Numerous neighboring jurisdictions, including
Caltrans, participated in this overall study
effort. A detailed document in a format that was
easily incorporated into the Draft EIR for the
project was prepared as part of this effort.
Raju Associates was also involved in the
preparation of response to comments and
associated analyses as part of the Final EIR
preparation for the project resulting in the
eventual approval and successful completion of
the project.
