Terra Bella Street Lane Reconfiguration

The Terra Bella Street Lane Reconfiguration project, managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation, involves the installation of Class II bike lanes along approximately 2.5 miles of Terra Bella Street between San Fernando Road and Wakefield Avenue. Located within Council Districts 6 and 7, the project is a key component of the City's 2010 Bicycle Plan and Mobility Plan 2035. The primary objective is to increase safety for all travel modes and reduce vehicular speeds by reallocating roadway space. This includes reducing the number of through vehicle lanes, removing specific parking or two-way left turn lanes, and adding dedicated bike lanes. The scope of work is divided into segment-specific configurations to mitigate conflicts between bicyclists and vehicles. From Wakefield Avenue to Arleta Avenue, the road will transition to one vehicle lane in each direction with bike lanes and a center turn lane. Between Arleta Avenue and Laurel Canyon Boulevard, the configuration will feature two westbound lanes, one eastbound lane, bike lanes in each direction, and a center turn lane. The final segment from Laurel Canyon Boulevard to San Fernando Road will consist of one vehicle lane in each direction and bike lanes in each direction. This municipal public works project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is subject to a California Environmental Quality Act categorical exemption for minor street alterations and bicycle lane creation.
