Topic: Harbor Freeway Transitway

	Encyclopedia: Freeway
		Freeway entrances and exits are limited in number, and are designed with special onramps and offramps, so as to ensure that vehicles do not disrupt the main flow of traffic as they enter or leave the freeway.
		Another common problem with freeways is that it is nearly impossible to avoid wrong-way drivers, and the subsequent head-on collisions are often fatal.
		In the rest of the country, freeway is the usual term; however, the distinction between freeways and expressways is not always as clear or well-understood as it is in California, which has many of both kinds of highway.

		Caltrans built the freeway stations as a key component of the $500-million Harbor Transitway, which was mostly completed in 1996.
		In addition to building the bus stations, the project widened the Harbor Freeway and added carpool and bus lanes that use a three-mile stretch of elevated roadway south of downtown.
		By contrast, the Harbor Transitway ends roughly a mile from downtown, requiring buses to complete the trip on city streets and costing riders valuable time.

		A straightforward way to deal with this is to use electrical propulsion in tunnels and, in fact, Seattle in its downtown metro and Boston in Phase II of its Silver Line are using this method in their respective BRTs.
		In the case of Seattle, dual-mode (electric/diesel electric) buses manufactured by Breda were used until 2004, with the center axle driven by electric motors obtaining power from trolley wire in the subway, and with the rear axle driven by a conventional diesel powertrain on freeways and streets.

		To resolve longstanding controversies, the final section of I-10, the Papago Freeway in Phoenix, which opened in August 1990, was built partly as a depressed freeway.
		The freeway is cut through a prominent terrain feature called the Hogback, formed 50 to 80 million years ago by the gigantic upheaval that produced the Rocky Mountains.
		In Los Angeles, the 27-km I-105 Glenn Anderson Freeway/Transitway (formerly the Century Freeway) was one of the last of the urban interstates to be built.

		Operating along the I-10 freeway corridor between El Monte and downtown Los Angeles, the El Monte Busway was opened to carpools of three persons or more in 1976.
		During this period, a "Commuter Lane" was added to the SR-91 Freeway as the only new HOV lane project in the County.
		In 1996, the Harbor Freeway (I-110) Transitway had opened for transit bus, vanpool and carpool users.

	A Trip Downtown
		Soon I'm near the Harbor freeway, which I'll take into the heart of LA. To the left is the field marked "Goodyear Airship Operations" on a big blue sign, and sure enough, there's the blimp Columbia, with its ground crew in attendance, holding it down by many cables.
		Both are Interstate 110, but freeway intersections and naming logic are fairly peculiar right around here, due to the evolution of the system.) Curving around onto the Hollywood (which has really become the Santa Ana) I take the next exit, and I'm suddenly deposited onto surface city streets, waiting at a stoplight.
		The Santa Monica freeway has been visible for several blocks now, as it passes right over Central Ave here, but the sign directing the motorist to the nearby entrance ramp is gone.

		Boston’s main freeway through the downtown area is I-93, commonly referred to as the Central Artery, and is being relocated into a series of tunnels under Boston.
		The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) tunnels are similar to the Ft. Point channel crossing tunnels of the Central Artery project.
		When the time comes to place the sections, the dry dock will be flooded and the tunnel sections will be floated out to their final positions under Boston harbor.

		And although that project was very expensive, it added capacity and reduced the need to condemn properties alongside the freeway.
		A comparable 101 Freeway project of four elevated lanes extending 27 miles would be four times as large.
		And they would provide an uncongested freeway for express bus and vanpool services, giving 101 commuters a viable mass transit alternative, at no cost to taxpayers.

		Harbor Freeway: MTA and CalTrans constructed a ten-mile combination transitway and carpool lane on I-110 between downtown L.A. and SR-91 which opened October 26, 1996, and MTA publishes a rail-like timetable showing its express lines along that alignment.
		An additional nine transitway miles are scheduled to open later this year between SR-91 and San Pedro.

		The recently released journey-to-work figures from the 2000 census reveal what many of us have long suspected: carpooling is indeed a flop.
		Despite the expenditure of billions of dollars adding carpool lanes to congested freeways, carpooling declined from 13.4% of work trips in 1990 to 11.2% in 2000.
		Even at double the Florida cost — $2.8 billion — the elevated lanes would still be less expensive than the suspended $3.4-billion proposal to widen the freeway.

	The Counterplan for Transportation in Southern California: Spend Less, Serve More
		Buses on Los Angeles's freeways ("Freeway Flyers") are an old idea, first proposed by Meyer, Kain and Wohl in 1965 and elaborated by Martin Wachs in 1976.
		If we assume that the current 40 percent of area freeways rated "F" by Caltrans (35 MPH or less) are the ones subject to our Transitways-HOT-lane proposal requiring extra lanes beyond the Caltrans plan, this would add $16.3 billion (not discounted) in construction costs.
		On the transportation systems management (TSM) side, enhanced freeway accident removal capabilities, strategic placement of new highway capacity, better use of existing surface arterials by the creation of urban "clearways," and the improved synchronization of traffic signals are some of the possibilities.

		My two major suggestions were the Whitnall Freeway (east/west across the Valley and roughly parallel to Roscoe Blvd.) and improvements to the 101/405 interchange.
		There were diagrams that illustrated cross-sectional drawings of different configurations being considered for the improved 101 freeway.
		Options shown included adding carpool and/or mixed-flow lanes, double-decking (with four elevated lanes on supports in the freeway median, similar to the configuration for the Harbor Transitway on the Harbor (I-110) Freeway), and a dual roadway (each side of the freeway has four local lanes and three express lanes).

		BRT is a broad term given to a variety of different transportation solutions that operate through the usage of buses.
		It can come in a variety of different forms, from dedicated busways that have their own rights-of-way (e.g., Ottawa's Transitway) to bus services that utilize HOV lanes and dedicated freeway lanes (e.g., Honolulu's CityExpress) to limited stop buses on conventional routes.
		In addition, bus rapid transit is often linked with intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and can involve special buses that control traffic signals, smart card systems, AVL bus tracking, dynamic message signs, and automatically guided buses.
