$100 Million of Road Projects to Support “Evolution”

Earlier this week, Streetsblog waded back into the debate over two controversial development projects sponsored by NBC Universal in North Hollywood. One of those projects, which NBC is calling "Evolution" will redevelop a 391 acre parcel and will include a theme park, business and entertainment industry center, more than 2,900 new apartments and condos, 35 acres of open space, a 500-room hotel and a refurbished amphitheater. Residents are complaining about a coming traffic crush.

Earlier this week, Streetsblog waded back into the debate over two controversial development projects sponsored by NBC Universal in North Hollywood. One of those projects, which NBC is calling “Evolution” will redevelop a 391 acre parcel and will include a theme park, business and entertainment
industry center, more than 2,900 new apartments and condos, 35 acres
of open space, a 500-room hotel and a refurbished amphitheater. Residents are complaining about a coming traffic crush.

NBC Universal responds that they have a $100 million plan to “mitigate” the traffic impacts. Thanks to the above graphic from LAist, we can break down the projects by what mode is supported. To read more about Evolution, check out this article in the Daily News or the follow-up in LAist.

$100 million dollars! Wow, they’re going to be able to do a lot of good with that. I hope they don’t blow it all on stupid auto expansion. Let’s look at the project list.
