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. Redirecting Urban Runoff and Pollutants Away from Ocean
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors accepted the construction of a new low-flow diversion that was recently completed in the City of Manhattan Beach along 28th Street. Low-flow diversions are designed to keep non-storm water flows from reaching the ocean by instead diverting the water into a sewage treatment plant.
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. |
