Synchronizing Traffic in the South Bay
A
new Traffic Signal Synchronization Project has been
completed in the cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa
Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes
and Long Beach. The $933,524 project focused on
coordinating the timing of signals along three major
streets in the South Bay. Over 100 total
intersections were synchronized on the following
three roads: Artesia Boulevard from Sepulveda
Boulevard to Vermont Avenue, Carson Street from
Hawthorne Boulevard to Santa Fe Avenue, and Western
Avenue from 111th Street to Summerland Avenue.
New
Funding for Park Projects
Supervisor
Knabe dedicated $1.7 million in Proposition A Park
funds to be used for various projects across the
Fourth District. In Hermosa Beach, a portion of the
money will be used for the renovation of
approximately 1,800 square feet of existing space
including upgraded electrical panels, a commercial
kitchen, lighting, counters and cabinetry at the
Hermosa Senior Activity Center.
Keeping Trash Out of the Bay
A
project to install 460 trash catch basins in the
cities of Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Manhattan Beach,
Rancho Palos Verdes, Santa Monica, and West
Hollywood has been approved by the Board of
Supervisors. The trash collectors will be placed at
the openings of catch basins along the curb,
partially blocking the openings to prevent most
trash from entering the storm drain system. |
