How many non-passenger structures will there be, and where will they be located?

LA ART includes three towers to support the ropeway, as well as a non-passenger junction that allows for the route to turn up towards Dodger Stadium. The Draft EIR is currently being prepared and will include an analysis of the towers and junction, including their width and footprint. As currently proposed and subject to change as part of the Project’s environmental review, the tower locations and footprints are as follows:

  • The Alameda Tower is proposed to be located on City property on Alameda, at the Alameda Triangle between Alameda Street, North Main Street, and Alhambra Avenue and is anticipated to have an approximately 884 square foot footprint at ground level.
  • The Alpine Tower is proposed to be located within a City-owned parcel at the northeast corner of Alameda Street and Alpine Street, adjacent to the elevated Metro L Line (Gold) and is anticipated to have an approximately 1,006 square foot footprint at ground level.
  • The Stadium Tower is proposed to be located on hillside private property north of Stadium Way between the Downtown Gate and SR-110 and is anticipated to have an approximately 856 square foot footprint at ground level.
  • The Broadway Junction would be located at the northern corner of the intersection of North Broadway and Bishops Road. The Broadway Junction would be approximately 227 feet long, 60 feet wide and is anticipated to have a 1,060 square foot footprint at ground level on privately-owned property.

Each of the towers would be designed so that their bases would not impede adjacent vehicular and pedestrian circulation, while supporting the ropeway that is primarily aligned above the public right-of-way.

Draft Site Plans of the towers and Broadway Junction are available here.
