What is SB 710?
SB 710 (Chapter 823, Statutes of 2023) directs Caltrans to convene a regional planning task force to evaluate and make recommendations for the SR 710 stub. The goal is to develop a community-informed reuse strategy by the end of 2025.
Why the SR 710 stub matters:
The SR 710 extension was officially canceled in 2018, leaving behind a segment of unused freeway infrastructure in Alhambra and Los Angeles. This has led to unresolved issues related to traffic, access, land use, and community connectivity. SB 710 provides a framework for resolving those issues collaboratively.
The Task Force includes representatives from:
-
City of Alhambra
-
City of Los Angeles (including a local resident)
-
County of Los Angeles
-
Cal State LA
-
Caltrans
-
LA Metro
-
LADOT
-
Community organizations
-
Local business and workforce groups
