6 issues in roads
Santa Gertrudes Avenue Restriping
A revised striping plan for Santa Gertrudes Avenue north of La Mirada Boulevard is scheduled for adoption. Lane markings can affect traffic flow and safety for everyone who drives that stretch.
Neighborhood Slurry Seal Area 7 Completion
The slurry seal of Valley View Avenue — from Rosecrans to 330 feet south of Alondra, and northbound lanes from Park Place to Artesia — is officially done, with the city accepting the work and releasing retention payments.
Traffic Signal at Rosecrans Avenue and Stanton Avenue
The intersection has had 10 crashes in five years, five this year, and a crossing guard on school days. The signal meets state warrant standards and will be funded largely with measure funds; the council discussed syncing it with existing signals at 45 mph.
Red Curbs at Foster Road and Clearwood Avenue Crosswalk
Parked cars were blocking the view of students at the school crosswalk near Foster Elementary and St. Paul. Red curbs of 20 and 10 feet will create daylighting in line with new state law AB 413.
Leffingwell Road landscape and median improvements
The council approved plans and a county cooperative agreement for landscaping and median upgrades on Leffingwell Road between Telegraph and Stamy Roads — bids go out soon.
Telegraph Road Pavement Rehabilitation and New Traffic Signals
The council approved plans to repave Telegraph Road between Leffingwell Road and Imperial Highway and to upgrade the signal at Springview Drive, plus plans for new signals at Imperial/Burgess and Leffingwell/Stamy. Bidding goes out next, so construction is on the way.
