Need and Purpose. The South Wilmington district of the City of Los Angeles is an important area within the Port of Los Angeles. The proposed grade separation project will provide a reduction in potential accidents, elimination of traffic delays, increased pedestrian safety, improved movement of goods via truck and rail, and unimpeded access for emergency vehicles to the general area. This will provide economic benefits and growth for the five-county region surrounding the West Basin. The project is required to relieve excessive delay caused by multiple existing at- grade railroad crossings of the West Basin Rail Line that connects to the Alameda Corridor. When a train is present, it completely blocks access to the South Wilmington area which consists of a major container terminal, Wilmington Waterfront, Bannings Landing Community Center, the Port’s maintenance facility and yards, College of Oceaneering, and other businesses. This project will enable unimpeded vehicular access to the entire South Wilmington area as well as enable the maximized usage of an existing and proposed on-dock rail yards (cargo is moved by rail directly from the container terminal) thus resulting in fewer truck trips on the region’s streets and highways.
