Knabe Selected as Chairman of the I-710 Freeway Improvement Project
 Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe has been elected as the new Chair of the I-710 Executive Committee.
The central function of the I-710 Executive Committee is to provide
policy guidance and general direction to the I-710 Corridor
Improvement Program. The project will be a difficult undertaking
that seeks to make major refurbishments to the 710 Freeway and its
surrounding environment that connects the County’s two seaports to
the rest of the region. This 20-mile stretch of freeway is a vital
part of the trade capacity of the entire region.
“I appreciate the support of my colleagues in selecting me to Chair
this important committee,” said Supervisor Knabe. “This committee
has a difficult task ahead of it, but improving the 710 will be good
for the entire region. Reducing congestion and improving safety on
this freeway will not only benefit the surrounding neighborhoods,
but also the private and commercial drivers that use the freeway
daily.
Other members of the committee include: Los Angeles County
Supervisors Gloria Molina and Yvonne Burke, City of Long Beach Mayor
Bob Foster, City of Long Beach Vice Mayor Bonnie Lowenthal, City of
Commerce Mayor Nancy Ramos, Caltrans District 7 Director Doug
Failing, Port of Long Beach Commissioner Mike Walter and Port of Los
Angeles Commissioner Jerilyn Mendoza.
