US 101 FREEWAY CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT STUDY 
Recommended Preferred Strategy
 
Recommended Preferred Strategy  
Two Bus/Carpool Lanes + One Mixed Flow Lane + Bus/Rail and Street Improvements - Near- and mid-range improvements to arterials, bus/rail transit and freeway, with a long-range concept to add one regular lane in four-lane segment between Moorpark Road and  Topanga Canyon Boulevard and two bus/carpool lanes in each direction from State Route 23 in Thousand Oaks to State Route 134 in Studio City. All improvements would be at-grade. Defer selection of a long-range solution between SR 134 & SR 110 and instead, “revisit” this segment as part of another study, which is needed to address cumulative traffic congestion problems within, and around, the Downtown area.

Technical Advisory Committee Recommends Preferred Strategy of Near, Mid, and Long-Range Improvements for the US 101 Freeway Corridor 
On April 29th, the Study reached a major milestone, when the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended a Preferred Strategy of near, mid, and long-range improvements.  This was the culmination of nearly two years of study, starting in July 2001 when the Study Team narrowed the universe of possible improvements to more than 50 initial concepts.  In April 2002, the Study Team and its TAC and Steering Committee (SC) refined those initial concepts to 12 Feasible Strategies, which they narrowed down to five Screened Strategies in July 2002.   The public has been actively involved along the way, providing information and feedback used by the Study Team, TAC and SC in deciding how to refine the strategies under consideration.  

The TAC’s recommended Preferred Strategy will be brought to the public this month, before it goes to the Steering Committee for final approval.  This round of community outreach will provide stakeholders the opportunity to review the TAC recommendation and provide feedback, which will be given to the SC when they meet on May 23 to decide on the final Preferred Strategy.  This feedback will also be provided to the MTA, SCAG, and local transportation agencies, to be used when they take up this issue and decide whether to adopt the final Preferred Strategy as part of their transportation plans.

Aerial Maps of US 101 Corridor  
These maps may take some time to down load. Please be patient as they are very large detailed PDF files.  
The boundaries defined by these right-of-way aerials are more specific than those previously posted on this site. In that respect, the boundaries indicate fewer properties that would be required to build out the Preferred Strategy than previous strategies with wider scopes. All the same, the boundaries represent the worst-case scenario, assuming the Preferred Strategy would be realized in its entirety.
