Wilshire/La Brea StationCenter Opening Utilization Thru February 2020

1

The center opening is a large underground access shaft located behind concrete barriers at Wilshire/Sycamore

STS needs to continue to utilize the center opening thru February 2020 to accomplish the following work associated with Wilshire/La Brea station construction:

• Structural concrete • Removal of excavation support system • Tunneling equipment and support • Mechanical equipment installation

This work will occur either with the current work zone in place with limited ‘sign and cone’ closures, or under almost daily sign and cone closures

Current center opening work zone at Wilshire Bl/Sycamore Av

Wilshire/La Brea Station Center Opening Benefits

Why the center opening?

• Safety: it’s the safest method for both the public and the workers to complete the work• Traffic: it creates a static traffic pattern, rather than a variety of sign and cone closures that would

change daily• Noise: it allows for more robust noise mitigation and a better contained work zone than sign and

cone closures, also allows the work to be scheduled primarily during daytime hours than with traffic restrictions for sign and cone closures

The project is working with the local community and stakeholders near Wilshire/La Brea, detailed presentation on the center opening is online at metro.net/purple
