The project includes consolidation of sewer pump station 1 (Acacia Avenue at the park) and pump station 7 (Palm Avenue and Virginia Street), addition of sewage storage capacity, installation of new pumps and related equipment, installation of a backup diesel powered generator, installation of new electrical control and telemetry systems, and realignment of sewer force main pipe within the street right-of-way instead of private properties via an easement. The project will also replace the broken emergency generator for pump station #4 at Kansas Street and Holly Avenue. The upgrade started last month with contractor Steve P. Rados, Inc. and it will take approximately 12 months for crews to complete the work. Construction activities will occur primarily Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained, but may be temporarily delayed. Traffic lanes and parking spaces may be temporarily reduced in the immediate construction zone. Public use, including emergency access, of the street will still be available at all times. A letter went out to impacted residents last month with details on the project as well as a location map. A second letter will be handdelivered by the contractor closer to the actual construction time for specific street blocks. This second notice will provide more information regarding the specific construction days, times, and any roadway closures. Property owners are asked to inform tenants and other regular users of their buildings of construction activities as well so they may plan accordingly. For any questions or assistance, the contractor will be available to help every day at the job site. For additional information about the projects, please contact Arianne Bola at 310-524-2364 or Lifan Xu at 310-524-2368. – Source: City of El Segundo Metro Implements Full and Partial Closures on the I-405 Freeway Fifteen nights of full and partial closures on the I-405 freeway began on July 31 to accommodate construction of a bridge for the Crenshaw/LAX Line light rail project. The work is being done by Walsh Shea Corridor Constructors, the contractor building the project for Metro. The lane closures are needed for the safe removal of the wood framing used to build the 800-foot-long bridge, which spans the 405, Hyde Park Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard. The nightly full and partial directional closures will be from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday to Friday. The freeway will be fully open during the weekends. Closure Schedule: • July 31 to Aug. 4. The northbound lanes will be completely closed between Century and La Tijera boulevards. • Aug. 7 to Aug. 11. Partial closure of the north and south bound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and the 1 and 2 lanes. • Aug. 14 to Aug. 18. The southbound lanes will be fully closed between the La Cienega off-ramp and La Tijera on-ramp. Detours: • If traveling southbound, exit the 405 at the Florence/Manchester off-ramp, proceed south on La Cienega and return to freeway via the Olive Street on-ramp. • Motorists heading to Los Angeles International Airport can remain on La Cienega to access Century Boulevard or re-enter the 405 and use the westbound 105 and Sepulveda Boulevard to reach LAX. • If traveling northbound, exit at the La Cienega/Manchester off-ramp, turn left (west) on Manchester, turn right (north) on La Tijera and continue to the northbound 405 on-ramp. Closure dates are tentative and subject to change based on construction progress and weather conditions. The bridge is expected to be completed in 2018. LAX encourages passengers to arrive at their terminal two hour before boarding time for domestic flights and three hours before boarding time for international departures. Metro apologize for the inconvenience that these nightly closures may cause and urge motorists to plan ahead and to expect some delays. – Source: LAWA/Metro • Burkley Brandlin Swatik & Keesey LLP AT T O R N E Y S AT L AW Lifetime El Segundo Residents Living Trusts/Wills, Probate, Employment Law, Personal Injury Trust and Estates Litigation, Business Litigation, Civil Litigation 310-540-6000 *AV Rated (Highest) Martindale - Hubbell / **Certified Specialist Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law, State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization Douglass MORTUARY “Our Family Serving Yours Since 1954” B U R I A L - C R E M AT I O N - W O R L DW I D E T R A N S F E R P E T M E M O R I A L P RO D U C T S 500 EAST IMPERIAL AVENUE EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA 90245 Te l e p h o n e ( 3 1 0 ) 6 4 0 - 9 3 2 5 • F a x ( 3 1 0 ) 6 4 0 - 0 7 7 8 • F D 6 5 8 Vista del Mar to Go Back to Two Lanes in Each Direction The following is a press release issued late last week by Los Angeles Councilmember Mike Bonin (11th District) on plans to revert Vista del Mar back to its former four-lane configuration, as well as other changes: “I’m writing with some important news regarding the road safety projects in Playa del Rey. About two months ago, the City [of Los Angeles] launched two different projects, both designed to improve safety in parts of Playa del Rey. I said at the time that we would evaluate them and make changes based on community feedback -- and I meant it. That’s why earlier this month we added a lane back on eastbound Culver Boulevard. I have continued to listen--and today, I am announcing some big changes in response to what I have heard. Announcement 1: Vista del Mar Two months ago, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (DOT) narrowed Vista del Mar from two lanes to one in each direction. DOT did so suddenly and without community input because they were told the City faced immediate and serious liability concerns from people who were being killed or seriously injured crossing Vista del Mar, to and from the beach and free parking on the road. DOT was warned it needed to act before summer, and they also knew they needed to preserve beach parking to make sure everyone, from everywhere and from all walks of life, had access to the coast. That move was incredibly controversial- -let’s be clear, most people hated it--and I said that I would eagerly embrace an alternative solution that met the requirements of improving safety and maintaining coastal access. Today, I am very glad to report we now have that solution thanks to my good friend, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn. Janice has agreed to create an equivalent number of public parking spaces below Vista del Mar, at the beach itself. That will allowing us to address the primary and the largest safety concern, by prohibiting parking entirely on Vista del Mar. And that will allow us to restore the road to two lanes in either direction. We will do it as soon as the County is able to restripe its lots and create the additional public parking. On top of that, LADOT is going to make a change to the signal and the turn at Vista del Mar and Culver Boulevard, and they expect it will have a significant impact on resolving the bottleneck there.
