>> Venice Boulevard, south side, east of Western – request is to move bus stop to Venice Boulevard, south side, west of Western (to accommodate proposed multi-family project behind Food 4 Less);

>> Washington Boulevard, north side, between Gramercy and Cimarron – request is to remove bus stops in order to add parking, possibly angle parking (to accommodate approved mixed-use project and existing businesses with parking shortages in this location);
>> Western Avenue and 24th Street – request is to add a stoplight to accommodate left-hand turns from eastbound 24th to northbound Western (prior request, stakeholders ask that UNNC reiterate this request, to accommodate two new developments on Western between the 10 freeway and 24th Street); and

>> Adams Boulevard and Mont Clair – request is to add a stoplight to create a safer pedestrian environment to accommodate new senior and affordable housing projects plus new commercial use (microbrewery) in the immediate location on both sides of Adams.
