Eileen Hunt <[email protected]> The Garden on Sunset (8150 W Sunset Bl New MixedUse Project) 7 messages Eileen Hunt <[email protected]> Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 8:39 AM To: Jeannie Shen <[email protected]> Hi Jeannie, I just signed the MOU with Hirsch/Green Transportation Consulting, Inc. for a new mixeduse project at 8150 W Sunset Blvd. Back in April they were discussing this project with Tommy, Western District and the Pedestrian group. The project is in CD 4. That means Hollywood/Wilshire District, right? The project is proposing to change the southwest corner of Sunset & Crescent Heights. Currently, the eastbound right turn lane on Sunset is separated from the main roadway by a median island. They would like to move the rightturn lane back to the main roadway and incorporate the island into the intersection. Attached is the conceptual site plan which was included in the MOU and following you'll see Brian Gallagher's comments on the previous conceptual design. Previously, the conceptual site plan did not include a valet dropoff on Crescent Heights. The total net project trips are: 1,055 daily, 220 AM peak hour, 211 PM peak hour. The project will replace about 80,000 sf retail/commercial use with 111,000 sf retail/commercial uses and 249 apartments. Thanks for your time, Jeannie.

Brian,
What do you think about this conceptual improvement? I need to give my comments but I am not convinced I like itbecause now the pedestrians will have a longer path across Sunset and also across Crescent heights to follow. what doyou think?
As you have previously discussed with Ron, we are currently working on a project that is located south of SunsetBoulevard between Crescent Heights Boulevard and Havenhurst Drive. This project presents an opportunity that webelieve will not only benefit the project’s access on Crescent Heights Boulevard, but will clean up the intersecĕon ofSunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights Boulevard by removing the sweeping right‐turn “cut‐through” lane(eastbound to southbound) that is stop‐sign controlled at its intersecĕon with Crescent Heights Boulevard, locatedapproximately 130‐feet south of Sunset Boulevard.
I have aĥached a graphic illustraĕng the conceptual design for the reconfiguraĕon of this intersecĕon and we lookforward to meeĕng with you on Monday to further discuss the possibiliĕes of pursuing this idea.
If you have any quesĕon prior to Monday’s meeĕng, please do not hesitate to contact either Ron or myself.
Hi Eileen,Since this is now CD4, HW will need to review. Do you happen to have the ped group comments? If not, I alreadyemailed them. I have passed this to Roy for comment as well, but I do agree with Brian. Also, I don't like the valet zone on Crescentheights especially if it queues and blocks the curb lane, it will be down to one lane and EB right turn won't be able to turnand SB curb lane will be blocked creating gridlock at this intersection which already bad.

I generally agree. Do they have the RT volume on the cutthru lane?
Bus Stop should be relocated as Brian suggested.RT lane may need to longer depending on the capacity anaylsis.Should go with wider turning radius? Design issue.

Don't have anything in writing from the ped group. I think Tommy had talked to Pauline about it.
I'll ask Ron for the counts.

Hi Eileen, Do you have a count for SB RT ? Forwarded message From: Roy Kim <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 9:54 AM Subject: Re: The Garden on Sunset (8150 W Sunset Bl New MixedUse Project) To: Jeannie Shen <[email protected]> I generally agree. Do they have the RT volume on the cutthru lane? Bus Stop should be relocated as Brian suggested.RT lane may need to longer depending on the capacity anaylsis.Should go with wider turning radius? Design issue. On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 9:13 AM, Jeannie Shen <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Roy, Do you agree with Brian's assessment? I don't have a response from the Pedestrian Group.

The project is in CD 4. That means Hollywood/Wilshire District, right? The project is proposing to change the southwest corner of Sunset & Crescent Heights. Currently, theeastbound rightturn lane on Sunset is separated from the main roadway by a median island. They would liketo move the rightturn lane back to the main roadway and incorporate the island into the intersection. Attached is the conceptual site plan which was included in the MOU and following you'll see BrianGallagher's comments on the previous conceptual design. Previously, the conceptual site plan did notinclude a valet dropoff on Crescent Heights. The total net project trips are: 1,055 daily, 220 AM peak hour, 211 PM peak hour. The project will replaceabout 80,000 sf retail/commercial use with 111,000 sf retail/commercial uses and 249 apartments. Thanks for your time, Jeannie.

Please look at the attachment. There is a proposed project to remove a rightturn lane and relocate it ontothe main roadway. This will allow us to connect a large median island to the rest of the block at thesouthwest corner. This is also a busy commercial area. I see that in addition to what is being proposed, itmight be able to be made into a pedestrian area if they work with your group. Tomas, Rudy......... I like this project, but am concerned about the loss of capacity at the intersection by replacing a long,uncontrolled right turn lane with a shorter, signal controlled lane that will be blocked by a bus stop. I willsupport this project if the bus stop is relocated to the far side of the intersection, AND if we have theopportunity to add N/B LT phasing + E/B RT phasing at the signal, if determined to be justified by theDistrict, so that the RT overlap phase could minimize the reduction of capacity. This intersection is heavilycongested, and we need to try for at least capacity neutral projects if possible.

I need to give my comments but I am not convincedI like it because now the pedestrians will have a longer path across Sunset and also across Crescent heightsto follow. what do you think?

Hi Guys,
As you have previously discussed with Ron, we are currently working on a project that is located south ofSunset Boulevard between Crescent Heights Boulevard and Havenhurst Drive. This project presents anopportunity that we believe will not only benefit the project’s access on Crescent Heights Boulevard, butwill clean up the intersecĕon of Sunset Boulevard and Crescent Heights Boulevard by removing thesweeping right‐turn “cut‐through” lane (eastbound to southbound) that is stop‐sign controlled at itsintersecĕon with Crescent Heights Boulevard, located approximately 130‐feet south of Sunset Boulevard.
I have aĥached a graphic illustraĕng the conceptual design for the reconfiguraĕon of this intersecĕon andwe look forward to meeĕng with you on Monday to further discuss the possibiliĕes of pursuing this idea.
If you have any quesĕon prior to Monday’s meeĕng, please do not hesitate to contact either Ron ormyself.
