Regional and System Planning. In alignment with Caltrans’ mission and the purpose of the State’s Stra- tegic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) which is expected to provide a safe transportation system, the District System Management Plan (DSMP) provides working guidelines aiming to enhance a safer, more sustaina- ble, integrated and efficient transportation system. The DSMP states that continued addition of roadway capacity alone is not a viable so- lution to address congestion issues. Other efforts are needed such as investments in multimodal infrastructure as well as transportation ▇▇- ▇▇▇▇ management. In preparation for future mobility demands based on trends for housing, population, job growth, and finance, the 2020 SHOPP Asset Manage- ment Program refined project prioritization parameters, incorporated the Caltrans Strategic Management Plan. Under the 2020 SHOPP cycle that replaced the program specific funding allocation with a lump sum structure that incentivizes multi-objective projects. The project aims to improve mobility and provide efficient traffic move- ment and safety for one of the most congested segments on I-405, providing upgrades and improvement to the existing facilities, includ- ing the pavement and roadside safety improvements. Coordination among many other on-going projects on I-405 that over- lap the project limits is critical to successfully deliver the project on schedule and within budgets. Minimizing conflicts on scopes between projects requires direct coordination between each project team. Ad- ditionally, future projects frequently have multiple alternatives under study, each with differing scope and schedule. Continuous coordina- tion and collaboration with the following project should be in focus: 1. Multi-Asset Management Project (EA 0R330) proposes to perform cold plane and overlay of existing GP lanes on I-405 from Harbor Blvd to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Ave. (PM 11.4/16.9)
