<br />LA Metro, Southeast Gateway Line First/Last Mile Plan, Los Angeles, CA
<br />Principal Urban Designer. Lisa provided leadership on the alignment urban
<br />design, including station access concepts, a northern alignment alternatives analysis, a
<br />vision document, facilitating design discussions with city and community meetings, and
<br />DEIR and FEIR completion for this broadly supported plan.
<br />LA Metro, East San Fernando Valley LRT First/Last Mile Plan, Los Angeles, CA
<br />Lead Multimodal Planner. Lisa facilitated stakeholder walk audits, city workshops, and
<br />collaborated with LA Metro and CBOs to identify first-last mile projects at 14 stations in
<br />equity-focused communities. She led development of LA Metro’s FLM map graphics and
<br />standards, contributed to walk audit refinements, and developed a prioritization process
<br />for potential FLM projects.
<br />LADOT/LA Metro, Western/Slauson Active Transport Plan, Los Angeles, CA
<br />Principal Urban Designer. For this partnership between StreetsLA (LADOT) and LA
<br />Metro’s MAT Program, Lisa provided leadership during concept design for pedestrian and
<br />bicycle improvements at the confluence of South LA’s busiest bus transfer location and
<br />the Rail-to-River Active Transportation Corridor. StreetsLA will implement the project
<br />starting in 2026 based on the team’s community-based designs.
<br />OCTA, Central Harbor Boulevard Transit Corridor Study, Orange County, CA
<br />Principal Urban Designer. Lisa provided urban design services in support of an
<br />alternatives analysis for a corridor study of Harbor Boulevard between Fullerton and Santa
<br />Ana. While Harbor Boulevard traverses seven cities and unincorporated LA County, the
<br />study focused on the central 9 miles and identified alternative modes, lane configurations,
<br />and station locations. Lisa was tasked with developing illustrative cross sections, transit-
<br />oriented land use evaluation, and developing prototypical stops and conceptual station
<br />plans.
<br />City of Anaheim, Anaheim Fixed Guideway, Anaheim, CA
<br />Principal Urban Designer. Lisa provided urban design services during the conceptual
<br />engineering phase. She collaborated with the engineering team to develop concepts for
<br />a transit center in to serve visitors to Disneyland, Downtown Anaheim, and destinations
<br />east towards Anaheim Stadium. She also developed an urban design report that captured
<br />key goals and objectives in improving the public realm and future development around
<br />the proposed transit line.
<br />OCTA, Center Line Project Study, Orange County, CA
<br />Urban Designer. Lisa supports the alternatives analysis for a 28-mile light rail network
<br />intended to support future demands for alternative transit modes across Orange County’s
<br />densest city centers and destinations. Products included an urban design book of station
<br />prototypes, illustrative alignment plans, and cross sections for major boulevards.
<br />Value to City of Santa Ana
<br />Lisa’s background and experience with urban corridors in both Orange and Los Angeles County offers a cohesive
<br />understanding of the interactions between travelers and surrounding land uses. She and her team have developed
<br />many complete street projects within constrained environments, bringing a wealth of perspective to the First
<br />Street corridor.A-20
