Project Overview

In 2019, the City of Palos Verdes Estates commissioned a Feasibility Study of the Palos Verdes Drive West / Via Corta intersection to identify potential solutions to reducing traffic congestion. The focus of the Feasibility Study was to study existing conditions and develop concept alternatives. Design objectives included:

  • Improving safety
  • Improving circulation between the Triangle and Via Corta intersections
  • Simplifying traffic movements
  • Reducing corridor congestion
  • Relieving traffic bottlenecks caused by the existing corridor configuration and improve traffic operations
  • Reducing corridor delays
  • Improving safety for all modes of transportation
  • Improving pedestrian and bicycle connectivity through the project limits
  • Eliminating cut-through traffic
  • Minimizing impacts on surrounding uses
