SCRIP
Southern California Regional Interconnector Project (SCRIP)
Western-most tracks will become run-through tracks
In procurement for design, engineering, and supplemental EIR
Construction anticipated to start by 2017
Will require raising all or a portion of the rail yard by 1 to 4 feet Should include planning for changes above and below the yard

Total for Cesar Chavez /Vignes is almost equal to

Existing Issues
Buses
Most buses terminating at LAUS travel
down Cesar Chavez and Vignes solely toget to Patsaouras Plaza which is inefficientfor bus operations
Bus/pedestrian/auto conflicts atPatsaouras Plaza and are inherent tocurrent design and travel paths
Lack of clarity for transit riders aboutwhere to catch a bus as there are busstops throughout the site
Inadequate amenities at all LAUS busstops (on-site and perimeter)
7/29/2019 LAUS Bd Workshop 091813 v8 Rev
17/47
Existing Issues
Concourse/Passageway/Rail Yard
The Passageway does not have the capacity
to accommodate current or futurepassengers
There is inadequate space for properamenities
SCRIP project will impact access to tracks
Existing rail yard configuration does notaccommodate future improvements inplatform layouts
All track access is not ADA compliant

Recommended Approach
East/West Passenger Concourse:
Creates strong east/west spine across the site to both
accommodate transit and knit together the two sides of theproperty
Can be phased to work with SCRIP, leveraging the opportunityto realize improvements in the concourse whileaccommodating the access changes necessitated by SCRIP
Allows a reconfiguration of the east side of the property thatcan promote development
Frees up the historic station for re-programming which can
create a destination separate from transit uses
7/29/2019 LAUS Bd Workshop 091813 v8 Rev
35/47
Recommended Approach
North/South Bus Facility:
More flexibility to adjust ratio and routing of local and
regional buses
Best connections/transfers to other transit modes
Most successful at minimizing pedestrian/bus conflicts Least visual impact to the historic station
Strongest connection to existing street bus stopsincluding the Silver Line/El Monte Transitway andAlameda and Cesar Chavez bus routes
Greatest reduction in local street congestion due tobuses

Conclusions and Next Steps
Conclusions and Next Steps:
Underlying bus plaza/concourse approaches address the
current issues at LAUS
Underlying approaches work with multiple HSR approaches
All approaches will influence design of SCRIP Amount of development will be flexible development sites
identified to reinforce placemaking, however the market over
time will dictate density of development In October we will ask the Board to approve the recommended
bus/concourse approach
