The City Council's Transportation Committee has recommended that the Department of Transportation, with assistance from the Department of Public Works, report within 90 days on current safety measures at highway-rail grade crossings in the Ventura Subdivision. This includes identifying additional safety measures needed to establish a Federal Railroad Administration quiet zone, estimated costs, potential funding sources, and an assessment of third-party willingness to fund a technical study. The report should also provide an estimated timeline for designing, building, and obtaining approvals for a quiet zone, focusing on a pilot project at Winnetka Avenue and extending to the entire Ventura Subdivision within the City of Los Angeles.
