This limits the available talent pool for positions and limits\nopportunities for part-time employees to advance their careers with the City. An\namendment to the two subsections cited is necessary to allow eligible part-time/hourly\nemployees to apply and to provide more promotional opportunities for the City’s parttime/hourly employees. The City Council gave first reading to this ordinance at the May\n12, 2025 Council meeting.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council declare introduced for its second reading and\nadopt the following ordinance entitled:\nOrdinance No. O2M25-4846: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council\namending Chapter 2.48 of the Alhambra Municipal Code concerning\npromotional exams

4.\nCity Council receive and file this informational report.\nRIDERSHIP TRANSPORTATION STUDY FOR THE ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY\nTRANSIT (ACT) – F2M23-16\nIn January 2025, City staff contracted Kimley-Horn to conduct a Ridership Transportation\nStudy for the Alhambra Community Transit (ACT). The study includes an assessment of\nthe existing transit market, an analysis of ridership and operations, and engagement with\nstakeholders and riders. The study evaluated ACT’s current fixed-route system and found\nthat while much of the City is within a half mile of transit, areas in South Alhambra are\nunderserved and ACT’s Blue Line is underutilized in these sections. Surveys and operator\ninput revealed demand for service to specific destinations not currently served, including\nAtlantic Times Square, Granada Park, and Garfield Avenue. Based on route performance\nand surveys, the study recommends implementing Revenue Neutral Alternative (Option\nB), which modifies the Blue and Green Lines to better serve underserved areas while\nincreasing ridership and maintaining current operating costs. Under this alternative, the\nBlue Line will be altered to serve Garfield Avenue and Hellman Avenue, while also\nproviding enhanced coverage of east Alhambra. The Green Line is slightly modified only\nin the clockwise direction, while the counter-clockwise route remains unchanged. Revenue\nNeutral Alternative (Option B) is projected to increase Blue Line ridership by approximately\n44% and Green Line ridership by about 6%, marking the largest increase among all the\nservice alternatives considered. Staff has worked closely with First Transit, the City’s\ntransit operations contractor, and they have agreed to the proposed route improvements\nwithout additional operating costs to the City. The new service is expected to begin by the\nend of the calendar year. The proposed route recommendations are budget neutral.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council review the proposed route recommendations\nfrom the City’s Ridership Transportation Study and direct staff as deemed appropriate.
