KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer The population in Los Angeles County will grow by more than one million people over the next twenty years, according to a preliminary forecast by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG unveiled the new estimate at a meeting of lawmakers and business leaders in Los Angeles to talk about fixing the state’s hous- ing shortage. SCAG forecasts the population will grow from its current level of 10.2 million residents to nearly 11.2 million by 2035, according to the study released at the 16th annual Mayoral Housing, Transportation and Jobs Summit. “What we cherish the most – our region’s quality of life – is at stake if we cannot build more housing or build and maintain the transportation infrastructure nec- essary to accommodate this growth,” said Hasan Ikhrata, SCAG’s executive director. At the meeting, developers and architects praised a new law that requires local jurisdictions to report their annual increase in housing stock to the state. Every city is allocated a percentage of new housing to build in a Regional Housing Assessment. SCAG pro- duces the assessment for Los Angeles County.

L.A. Metro Expands All-Door Boarding on Metro Rapid 720 and 754 Lines to Improve Speeds for Bus Riders

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board hasapproved the expansion of all-door boarding for Metro Rapid lines 720 (WilshireBoulevard) and Metro Rapid 754 (Vermont Avenue) to provide speedier trips for ridersand reduce the time buses have to dwell at bus stops.

Riders will be able to board at any door of a bus – front, middle or rear – and will paytheir fare by using the TAP fare validator installed at each door. Riders will no longerneed to line up and wait to board at only the front of the bus. Metro will implement all-door boarding on Metro Rapid Line 754 in June 2018 and on Metro Rapid Line 720 inDecember 2018.

“Metro is committed to getting passengers to their destinations as quickly as possi-ble — while making sure that safety is always our top priority,” said Los Angeles Mayorand Metro Board Chair Eric Garcetti. “These improvements will expedite ride times andease congestion on some of Metro’s most popular Rapid Bus lines.”

Those paying with cash or tokens will be able to board at the front door, where theywill also be able to buy a TAP card and load it with fare. To encourage more people to useTAP cards, Metro will be handing out 50,000 free TAP cards on the 720 and 50,000cards on 754 Metro Rapid lines during their respective launch months.

“This expansion of all-door boarding is just one of the many improvements we’re mak-ing to the customer experience on Metro,” said Los Angeles City Councilmember MikeBonin, a member of the Metro Board of Directors and chair of Metro’s Ad-Hoc CustomerExperience Committee. “By decreasing wait times, the Metro Rapid service will attracteven more customers and help take cars off the roads.”

“As part of our promise to reimagine our bus services, all-door boarding is one of ourstrategies that will help these two lines operate much more efficiently,” said Metro CEOPhil Washington. “By streamlining the boarding process, we will be helping save the pre-cious commodity of time for the tens of thousands of riders who depend on these serv-ices on a daily basis.”

Metro Rapid Line 720 on Wilshire Boulevard carries about 29,019 boardings on theaverage weekday. Metro Rapid Line 754 line on Vermont Avenue carries about 20,674boardings.

All door boarding began last year on the Metro Silver Line, where it has helpedincrease on-time performance by 10 percent.

Ocean ParkNew survey seeks to uncover what matters to Ocean Park residents

The Ocean Park Association has created a survey so that residents can express theiropinions on what matters to them in Ocean Park in particular, within the context of SantaMonica as a whole. The survey looks at modes of transportation and the popularity oflocal events, as well as issues of concern for the residents, whether they’re renters orhome-owners, recently arrived or long-settled.

The survey, which takes only few minutes to complete, can be found on OPA’s homepage: oceanparkassociation.org

Board Member Roger Swanson said “We really want to hear what matters to local peo-ple, so we can shape OPA’s activities accordingly. We’ve done this before, when lookingat the rehabilitation of Lincoln Boulevard, and attitudes to the Santa Monica Airport land,and it was very helpful both times, so we have high hopes and expectations. Unless wehear from people, the Board can only follow its own predilections, and that’s not alwaysgoing to be helpful. If you live here, you have an opinion on Ocean Park, so please shareit, that’s the key message”.

There will be a prize drawing, with prizes to be announced once the survey is complete.The Ocean Park Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer group of neighbors

dedicated to working for the interests of all residents of Ocean Park. It holds regularmonthly meetings on the second Monday of each month, usually downstairs at the OceanPark Library.

You Pay Nothing UntilYour Case Is Resolved

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

ON OCTOBER 27, AT ABOUT 1:10 A.M.An officer was on patrol in the area of the 100 block of Alta Ave. The suspect, later iden-tified as Winston Brown, was seen by the officer suspiciously walking into a carport. Uponseeing the officer, Brown abruptly turned around and began to run away. Once the offi-cer caught up to him, Brown threatened to kill the officer and refused to comply with theofficer’s commands. Brown continued to threaten the officer after he was arrested.Brown, 40, homeless, was charged with making criminal threats and resisting arrest. Bailwas set at $50,000.

Dear EarthTalk: What are planners and designers doing

to solve the so-called “last-mile” problemregarding transit?

Ginny R.via e-mail

S O L V I N G T H E “ L A S T M I L E ”(or “first-mile”) problem—that is, gettingtransit riders from their bus stop, train sta-tion or ferry terminal “the last mile” to thedoorstep of their home or workplace—hasplagued urban planners since the dawn ofpublic transportation.

“Most people in the United States are‘comfortable’ walking less than a quarter mileto or from public transit stops,” says AlexGibson of TransLoc, which works on solu-tions to transit problems using app-basedtechnologies. “The problem arises when apotential rider is further than a ‘comfortabledistance’ to the necessary fixed-route stop.”

Widespread suburbanization across theU.S. is part and parcel of the problem, giventhat fewer and fewer of us now live withinwalking distance to public transportationoptions. The result is more private cars onthe road (and the accompanying carbon andair pollution) and underutilized public tran-sit systems.

So, what can be done to overcome thislast-mile hurdle? Some municipalities andcounties run feeder buses that circle the‘burbs and bring riders right from theirhomes or a nearby corner to a transit hub.Likewise, Uber, Lyft and other ridesharingservices can help transit riders fill in this gap,especially in a pinch. But these are hardly themost cost- or energy-efficient fixes to thelast-mile problem.

One time-tested solution is bicycles.Many regions have stepped up their com-mitment to installing more bike lanesaccordingly. While a bike, either the tradi-tional kind or one of the new battery-assist-

ed models, works fine if you have some-where safe to lock it up or can bring it inside,folding bikes may be a better option for“intermodal” commuters (who pair bikingwith a bus or train or ferry). Hip Londonoffice workers swear by their foldingBromptons. Another increasingly viableoption is hopping on a pay-as-you-go sharebike which you can pick up in one part oftown and drop off in another. Beyond bikes,e-scooters — check the Stigo E-Scooter andSegway’s new MiniPro — are gaining trac-tion and market share across the country.

And let’s not forget about the oldest lastmile option of all: walking. Denver, Nashvilleand Los Angeles have made strides in fixinginfrastructure to encourage transit riders togo the extra mile on foot. “Because most rid-ers in high ridership systems walk to catchbuses and trains, transit stops must be sup-ported by well-designed streets and side-walks,” reports the Transit Center, a founda-tion that supports transit reform advocacy.“Yet many cities in America have built streetswithout sidewalks, or allowed property own-ers to encroach on or neglect them.”

Even more important than spiffing upsidewalks would be macro-level changes tohow municipalities manage development.“Transit-oriented development and zoningchanges are other highly effective strategiesthat put more people within walking dis-tance to transit,” reports Angie Schmitt ofStreetsBlogUSA. “Removing barriers towalking and transit-oriented developmentare likely to yield better ridership and finan-cial return on investment than othersdesigned to draw transit riders from subur-ban environments—the transportationequivalent of swimming upstream.”

DowntownSanta Monica History Museum Announces New Exhibit of Hospital’s History

The Santa Monica History Museum has to announced it will display an exhibition of thehistory of Saint John’s Health Center from Friday, November 17, at the Santa MonicaHistory Museum at 1350 7th Street.

In recognition of the 75th anniversary of Providence Saint John’s Health Center, theSanta Monica History Museum will host an exhibit detailing the Health Center’s foundingand development to open on Friday, November 17. The exhibit, Saint John’s Health Center:75 Years of Healing, Discovery and Service to the Community, will display unique artifactsand photographs from the Center’s archive, which has been carefully tended by the Sistersof Charity since the 1940s. Highlights include the contents of time capsules, the first ofwhich was interred behind the hospital’s first cornerstone in 1942, as well as original corre-spondence, photos and artifacts such as a Bing Crosby recording dedicated to Saint John’s.

In 1938, medical professionals from Santa Monica partnered with the Sisters ofCharity to build a new hospital. Opening its doors during World War II in October 1942,Saint John’s initially faced challenges due to wartime shortages. The postwar baby boomin the mid-1940s, however, was a blessing to the young facility—earning it the nickname,“Maternity home by the sea.” As it expanded, the hospital consistently recruited leadingdoctors from a wide variety of specialties and backgrounds. As a nonprofit, fundraisingwas and continues to be essential for sustaining Saint John’s. Hollywood stars IreneDunne and Jimmy Stewart, in particular, were integral in sharing news about the wonder-ful community at Saint John’s and in recruiting additional supporters.

The museum, and this exhibit, are open to the public Tuesdays and Thursdays noon to8:00 PM, and Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum isclosed Sundays and Mondays. General admission for adults is $10 and $5 for seniors &students. Veterans, active-duty military, children 12 and under, and Santa Monica HistoryMuseum members receive free admission. Please direct questions to John Klopping,Museum Manager, at (310) 395-2290 or [email protected].

Santa Monica Joins 26 Local Governments and theU.S. Conference of Mayors in Filing Amicus BriefSeeking to Halt the Termination of the DACA Program

The City of Santa Monica today joined a national coalition of 26 U.S. cities and coun-ties in filing an amicus brief seeking to halt the termination of the Deferred Action forChildhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Together, with cities including Los Angeles and NewYork, we are urging a nationwide injunction against the Department of HomelandSecurity (DHS), which would prevent DHS from ending the DACA program or using infor-mation obtained from DACA applicants for deportation proceedings.

“While the federal government turns its back on hardworking citizens, Santa Monicawill continue to fight for our resident and student Dreamers,” said Mayor Ted Winterer.

The amicus brief states that local jurisdictions will suffer direct economic harm ifDACA is rescinded due to the removal of hundreds of thousands of workers, businessowners, and taxpayers from their respective economies. The brief also states that end-ing DACA will make communities less safe and would lead to DACA recipients being muchless likely to report criminal activity to law enforcement out of fear of deportation.

This diverse multi-city and county coalition argues that in terminating DACA, DHSacted in an arbitrary and capricious manner, failing to comply with the requirements ofthe Administrative Procedures Act (APA). Neither the Attorney General nor DHS provid-ed supportable rationale for their decision to terminate DACA. To the extent that theydid cite reasons for ending the program, those reasons are disproven by clear evidence.

DACA was created by DHS in 2012 to allow undocumented individuals brought to the U.S.as children the opportunity “to come out of the shadows” and live, study and work openlyin our country. Since obtaining deferred action, DACA recipients have made substantialcontributions as business owners, educators, researchers, artists, journalists and civic lead-ers. Tens of thousands more DACA enrollees are attending our local schools, studying tobecome our newest medical professionals, educators, lawyers and entrepreneurs.

Jurisdictions joining the brief have more active DACA recipients collectively residingin their metro areas than the combined active DACA populations of 45 states.

The complete list of entities signing the brief is:The City of Los Angeles, California; the City of Austin, Texas; the City of Boston,

Massachusetts, the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts; the City of Chelsea,Massachusetts; the City of Chicago, Illinois; Cook County, Illinois; the City and County ofDenver, Colorado; the District of Columbia; the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii; theCity of Houston, Texas; King County, Washington; the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota; theCity of New York, New York; the City of Oakland, California; the City of Philadelphia,Pennsylvania; the City of Portland, Oregon; the City of Providence, Rhode Island; the Cityof Sacramento, California; the City and County of San Francisco, California; the City ofSomerville, Massachusetts; the City of Rochester, New York; the City of Santa Monica,California; the City of Seattle, Washington; the City of Tucson, Arizona; the City of WestHollywood, California; and the United States Conference of Mayors.

leads the City’s Wellbeing Department, said.For example, the data may help the City

parcel out the best times of day or neighbor-hoods to offer certain activities.

“Getting active is tied to our social interac-tions,” Rusk said, “and we know it really mat-ters if people are connected to each other.”

Medical History■ This week in 1999, the death of an 83-year-old man stung by a swarm ofAfricanized “killer” bees marked the first fatality by that cause in the stateof California. The victim, Virgil Foster, was (ironically enough) a beekeeperwho was mowing his lawn. He was stung at least 50 times by the highlyaggressive bees, receiving a high dose of toxins. He was not breathing whenparamedics arrived and went into cardiac arrest, which eventually provedfatal. Foster’s three hives had been taken over by wild Africanized honey-bees, which were first seen in the U.S. in Texas after migrating north fromBrazil. Foster’s death was preceded by several others in other U.S. states.

opments shovel ready.“The philosophy is, if you’re not building enough hous-

ing we’re just going to help you,” said Senator Scott Weiner(D-San Francisco), the bill’s co-author, at the summit Friday.The city reports will include the number of market-rate andaffordable housing constructed.

If a city fails to submit a housing report two years in arow, the development process in that municipality willautomatically become streamlined, according to Weiner.For example, under the mandated process, proposedaffordable housing projects within a city’s zoning code willnot need CEQA, Conditional Use Permits or DevelopmentReview Permits.

“This bill also limits the amount of parking that a localgovernment can require of a streamlined development,”according to a report by the Assembly Committee onHousing and Community Development. “A local govern-ment cannot require more than one parking space per unitfor streamlined developments. In addition, the bill wouldprohibit a local government from imposing any parkingstandard for streamlined projects that are within one-half

mile of public transit, within an architecturally and histori-cally significant district, where on-street parking permits arerequired but not offered to occupants of a development, orwhere there is a car share vehicle located within one block ofthe development.”

Under the new law, a development proponent can alsorequest the state step in and mandate the streamlinedprocess for a specific parcel.

“It’s not punishment,” Weiner said. “Having enoughhousing is a benefit, it’s not punishment.”

About twenty cities in Los Angeles County currently meettheir housing needs, including the City of Santa Monica. Infact, in the previous cycle, Santa Monica built 233 percent ofits SCAG allotment.

SCAG allocated 1,674 housing units to Santa Monica forthe housing cycle from 2014 to 2021, instructing that 58 per-cent of those should be affordable.

In neighboring Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti hascommitted the City to construct more than 100,000 newresidential units by 2021 as a way to combat a housingshortage.

Weiner said the vast majority of cities in California arenot meeting their affordable housing requirements.
