Committee clears consent items, adopts parking restrictions and hears Olympic transportation update
Summary
The committee approved items 1–6 on consent (including bus charger contracts, parking fee recommendations and funding acceptance for open/slow streets), adopted a resolution establishing oversized vehicle parking restrictions in Council District 2, and received an update on 2028 Olympic transportation and Metro Open Streets grant awards.
The Transportation Committee handled multiple administrative and program items on Dec. 10, approving non‑controversial items 1–6 on the consent calendar and taking up several standalone items.
On the consent calendar, the committee approved a CAO contract amendment to install AC bus chargers, budget recommendations related to parking fines and EV charging designations, revenue generation reports for LADOT, awards of Metro funding for active transportation and first/last‑mile projects, an agreement with the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator for a South LA Ecolab project, and acceptance of Metro open and slow streets funding for cycles 6 and 7.
Item 7, a resolution to establish oversized vehicle parking restrictions on segments of Archwood Street, Kittredge Street, Hamlin Street, Saint Clair Avenue and other streets in Council District 2, was read and adopted; the roll call showed Council Member Hernandez voting no while the motion otherwise carried.
For item 10, LADOT staff provided an update on the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games transportation plan, noting successful Metro Open Streets grant awards totaling more than $3.6 million across 2026 and 2028 cycles and coordination with the mayor’s office of major events and other departments on venue approaches and first/last‑mile work. Staff said they can provide a more detailed report on resurfacing, curb ramp installations and related projects at a future meeting.
Chair Hutt adjourned the meeting after confirming the docket was clear.
