Encino Hills Neighborhood Traffic Management Project

The Encino Hills Neighborhood Traffic Management Project, managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation, involves the installation of turn restriction signs at intersections within Council District 4. The project area is bounded by Ventura Boulevard to the north, White Oak Avenue to the west, Woodley Avenue to the east, and Mulholland Drive to the south. The primary objective is to address community concerns regarding neighborhood traffic management and reduce commuter cut-through traffic. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 Categories 3 and 15, as it involves minor alterations without significant environmental impact. Operational requirements mandate that all work comply with the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook (WATCH) and Ordinance No. 144.331 regarding noise regulation. Traffic management protocols require maintaining at least one lane of traffic in each direction at all times and providing advance warning and flaggers for pedestrian detours. Special provisions are in place for the discovery of archaeological, paleontological, or human remains, requiring immediate cessation of excavation and notification of the Los Angeles County Coroner or a qualified archaeologist. The primary point of contact for the project is Transportation Engineer Silva Abramian.
