FLOW BOULEVARD

"OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR” : The Flow Boulevard system provides the best solution for an “Opportunity Corridor” that LA Planning is required to make to satisfy the access to opportunity that the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) demands in order to add additional housing in the LA Basin. The Flow Boulevard is able to add a safer system and almost three times existing capacity to meet future travel demand to avoid polluting congestion along with having Bus Rapid Transit that does not require dedicated exclusive lanes. This occurs in the Flow Boulevard system that has the continuous flowing traffic segment, along with the regular stop and go traffic that serves the local adjacent land use .

Bus Rapid Transit and additional housing are combined as a winning combination for improvement in the LA Basin with the use of the LA City Program called “Opportunity Corridors”. This transportation improvement is with transit also to be used to support the additional housing called for by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA, both of which can redevelop communities and create socio-economic benefit for people in the LA Basin and for those that commute to work or visit there.

The corridors can use the newly invented multi-modal (all kinds of vehicles) roadway improvement called Flow Boulevard, to serve and provide additional capacity. Over the long term additional capacity is needed for the additional commuters and the growing corridor travel demand from higher density within the communities that they serve.

In the animation you will see that Zero Emission EV Bus Rapid Transit can be made in certain existing narrow boulevards without taking curb lane parking for bus stops and for other vehicular parking that gains access to adjacent land use, shops and services. The animation shows a flowing future rush hour traffic condition some 30 or more years from now where the additional housing in the improved communities have been provided with the additional BRT capacity so there is not congestion which brings forth excessive CO2 emissions and traffic delays. Corridors must be secured now through planning so the future improved communities have the required transportation network that is necessary for their proper function.
