PRESENTED BY: Councilme1 her, 13 th District ' SECONDED BY:  PUBLIC WORKS MOTION The Sepulveda Basin Pedestrian Safety and Access Improvements - Victory Blvd and Balboa Blvd Project (G 1278) is a Bureau of Engineering-led project currently in the pre-design phase focused on improving local pedestrian and bicycle access to the Sepulveda Basin, strengthening connections to the Metro G Line, and supporting car-free access to future 2028 Olympic and Paralympic venues. Planned improvements along Victory Boulevard, east of Balboa Boulevard include mobility hubs, enhanced crossings, high-visibility pedestrian treatments, lighting, signage, and bicycle facility upgrades. Victory Boulevard is a key Valley east-west corridor for Lake Balboa, and serves as a primary gateway into the Sepulveda Basin. Intersections at Balboa Blvd, Birmingham Way, Louise Ave, and Encino Ave experience pedestrian demand related to park access and front a growing concentration of community-serving uses, including a large LAUSD complex near Balboa Boulevard, the Sepulveda Basin Off-leash Dog Park, and ONEgeneration, a nonprofit providing senior services, early education, and family programs that generate consistent pedestrian activity throughout the day. New residential developments along the corridor are expected to further increase car, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit trips along Victory Boulevard, intensifying existing safety and access challenges. As design advances, expanding the project scope to include these intersections would create a more continuous, legible, and safer access network into the Sepulveda Basin. A coordinated design approach would better support daily community use, improve safety for youth and seniors, and advance Vision Zero, Mobility Plan 2035, Vision Plan, and Council District 6 priorities for equitable access to parks, schools, and essential services. I, THEREFORE, MOVE that the City Council instruct the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, with the support of the Chief Administrative Officer, to report within 90 days with recommendations, phasing, and funding options to expand the design scope of the Sepulveda Basin Pedestrian Safety and Access Improvements Project to include the intersections along Victory Boulevard at Balboa Boulevard, Birmingham Way, Louise Avenue, and Encino Avenue that would not delay the core project delivery, and how the expanded project scope would support existing City mobility and access policies and goals.
