Trust for Public Land would like to thank you for attending Lessons Learned
from Livable Cities: An Evening with Enrique Peñalosa.
It was a very exciting event and we hope you were inspired to join us as we work
to make Los Angeles a more livable city.Please

Washington DC Union Station Bike-Transit Facility
Bikestation is currently assisting the District of Columbia and Parsons in
the development of an operating plan for a bike-transit facility next to Union
Station, across from the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC. The facility is
expected to open in early 2008. For more information, contact Jim
Sebastian, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Manager, at 202-671-2331, or Andrea
White, Bikestation Executive Director, at 562-733-0106.
Bike-Transit Center Implementation Plan
In partnership with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA), Bikestation fulfilled a grant from Caltrans, through their
Community Based Transportation Planning Program, to lay the groundwork for
the development of a network of Bike-Transit Center along MTA transit
lines
throughout the County. These multi-modal facilities will improve
bicycle/transit linkages and encourage alternative commutes by providing
commuters with alternative transportation options; thereby reducing
vehicular emissions and congestion, improving mobility and enhancing the
livability of Los Angeles County.
The planning study provided a range of clean transit options and
services to enhance and encourage multi-modal transportation to, from and
within each of the implementation areas and developed operational
requirements. The project incorporated a collaborative planning process
with participation from community stakeholders and produced its final report in
December of 2004. The project team
prepared and conducted several focus groups at each of
the four selected locations which determined and documented interest, evaluated
demand, and established service needs. Each location's unique
characteristics were analyzed to determine the proper mix of mobility
services to be proposed for the most effective operation. Projected services
range from unattended or attended bicycle parking to vehicle sharing. The
project also developed a standard operating and design guideline for
future use in citing Bikestation clean transit centers at other locations
in the region.
