Transportation
We stand at a unique moment in Los Angeles' history, a moment of forward thinking,
bold ideas and new solutions. The future demands that we change old patterns of
growth and create new solutions for transportation and access.
Our goal with the Universal City Vision Plan is to create a new way to accommodate
growth in Los Angeles. We understand that our vision must include a
comprehensive and regional transportation plan where transit is integrated into the
very design and potential of the project. Working with the Los Angeles Department
of Transportation (LADOT), the MTA, CalTrans and our neighbors, we will finalize an
extensive package of regional and project transportation improvements that will
ensure the future of Universal City.
The Vision Plan will strengthen and improve access to our property and give our
employees, visitors and future residents the opportunity to utilize transit. It will
encourage access to the Los Angeles River and transform the way people travel to
our property by defining new solutions and identifying key improvements.
Improvements under consideration include:
- Shuttle system from Universal Village and throughout Universal City to the MTA Station.
- North/South “Great Street” through Universal Village connecting Forest Lawn Drive to Coral Drive.
- Freeway and access improvements, including possible construction of a southbound entrance to the 101 Freeway from Universal City; a single-purpose urban interchange (SPUI) near Campo de Cahuenga connecting to the 101 Freeway, and other system improvements to the 101 corridor and 134 interchange.
- Barham Corridor improvements, including a possible grade separation at Forest Lawn Drive and Barham Boulevard and possible widening of the Barham Bridge at the L.A. River.
- Enhance the pedestrian crossing at Lankershim and Campo de Cahuenga.
- Various traffic signal system upgrades and intersection enhancements.
- Improve entrance and circulation into Universal City at Universal Hollywood Drive and enhance parking.
