Metro's SR-710 North Mobility Improvements Projects presented by Abdollah Ansari, Senior Executive Officer of Metro's Major HIghway Proram. The Final Environmental Document for the SR-710 North corridor was approved in January 2019, with the selection of the Transportation System Management/Transportation Demand Management (TSM/TDM) alternative as the preferred alternative for the ultimate transportation solutions for the corridor. At the December 2018 meeting, the Metro Board of Directors authorized $515 million to be invested in various local and regional improvements including the TSM/TDM projects listed in the SR-710 North Final Environmental Document and new roadway mobility improvement projects proposed by local jurisdictions. The newly introduced projects are to improve vehicular mobility between I-10 and I-210 within the area of impact of SR-710. Approximately, $1 billion in local, state, and federal funds are available for the MIP and TSM/TDM projects. The eligible projects consist of freeway interchange and ramp modifications/reconfigurations, local intersection improvements, corridor improvements/roadway widenings, grade separations, and traffic signal improvements/timing adjustments.
