TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a
comprehensive traffic study of the Woodman Corridor from Van Nuys
Boulevard to Saticoy Street.
Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Padilla –
Blumenfield):
1. INSTRUCT the Department of Transportation (DOT) to:
a. Prioritize development of a focused Woodman Corridor
Safety Action Plan centered on five high-risk intersections:
Woodman Avenue at Terra Bella Street, Strathern Street,
Nordhoff Street, Ventura Canyon Avenue, and Stagg
Street.
b. Ensure that the Safety Action Plan clearly distinguishes
between immediately feasible, near-term improvements
that can be implemented using existing programs,
maintenance activities, quick-build strategies, or
interdepartmental coordination.
c. Report to Council within one year on both the status of the
Action Plan efforts, and, with the assistance of and
analysis from the Bureau of Engineering (BOE), Bureau of
Street Services (BSS), Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL),
and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), a scope and
cost estimate for a comprehensive improvement plan for
the Woodman corridor that considers multimodal safety
needs, community outreach, Measure HLA
considerations, Metro transit data, interdepartmental
coordination needs, and a phased implementation
approach outlining near-term actions, longer-term capital
improvements, and potential funding considerations.
2. INSTRUCT the BOE, in coordination with the BSS, to assess
existing curb ramps, bus stop accessibility, and sidewalk
infrastructure along the Woodman Avenue corridor to identify
ADA-compliant improvements, including cost-effective, near-
term approaches, and longer-term approaches requiring
planning, design, or capital funding.
3. INSTRUCT the BSL to assess existing lighting conditions along
the Woodman corridor and identify near-term lighting
improvements that could be advanced within existing programs
or maintenance activities, as well as longer-term lighting
upgrades requiring additional coordination, design, or funding.
4. INSTRUCT the LAPD to produce a detailed report on current
and planned traffic enforcement efforts along the Woodman
corridor, including collision trends, citation data, and
recommended enforcement strategies that could complement
engineering, design, and operational safety improvements.
