NOTICE INVITING APPLICATIONS/INFORMATION SHEET
Lincoln Corridor Task Force Citizen Advisory Committee
Applications are invited for participation in a Citizen Advisory Committee to assist the City in its
efforts to improve Lincoln Boulevard as part of the Lincoln Corridor Task Force (LCTF). This is a
multi-jurisdictional effort which includes the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation
(LADOT), the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), the County of Los
Angeles, and the Cities of Culver City and Santa Monica.
The LCTF was formed to address the increasing congestion along Lincoln Boulevard, to
determine the long-term transportation needs of the corridor and to identify transportation
improvement alternatives that balance the traffic demands of land use plans with traffic capacity.
A consultant will be chosen by the LCTF to provide the LCTF with an improved overview and
understanding of Lincoln Boulevard by identifying the current operating conditions, the physical
traits and the urban characteristics of the corridor. The consultant will produce a Conceptual
Corridor Alternatives Study (CCAS) for Lincoln Boulevard with the goal of establishing a
preferred set of transportation improvements which the governmental agencies of the LCTF can
formally agree to fund by pooling their financial resources.
The Citizen Advisory Committee will advise the consultant during the development of the CCAS.
The main purpose of the Citizen Advisory Committee will be to comment on the work products
of the consultant and assist in community outreach and solicitation of ideas and feedback from
the public on alternatives. The Committee will include three representatives from both the City
of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles, and two representatives from both the City of Culver
City and the City of Santa Monica. It is anticipated that four to five meetings between the
consultant and the Citizen Advisory Committee will be necessary during the nine to 12 month
development period of the CCAS.
You must be a Santa Monica resident to apply. Qualified individuals, with the exception of those
under the age of 18 years or those holding paid office or employment in City government, are
invited to apply regardless of race, sex, age, disability, religion, marital status, national origin,
sexual preference, or ancestry. Appointments will be made at an open City Council meeting.
