Traffic Signal Synchronization Project Complete In Long Beach And Paramount |
|
|
The County of Los Angeles has completed the construction of a
Traffic Signal Synchronization Project in the Fourth District cities
of Long Beach and Paramount, Supervisor Don Knabe announced
recently.
The $1,022,691 project was financed with Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority Grant Funds and Proposition C
Local Return Funds, and focused on coordinating the timing of
signals along Eastern Avenue/Garfield Avenue/Cherry Avenue between
Pacific Coast Highway and Atlantic Boulevard.
This project is part of the County’s ongoing program to enhance
traffic flow and safety for drivers and pedestrians. Prior projects
have shown travel times through these synchronized routes are
reduced by as much as 24 percent during peak travel hours and as
much as 29 percent during other periods of the day.
“It is important that we constantly look for ways to reduce
congestion and improve the flow of traffic on our roads,” said
Supervisor Knabe. “By synchronizing these traffic signals, both the
residents of these cities and the nearby unincorporated County areas
that travel these routes will benefit.”

Providing Paramount with Funds for Projects along L.A. River
Supervisor Knabe worked to secure $2.5 million in Proposition A funds to develop and expand Ralph A. Dills Park. The funds will assist the City in developing new open space near the existing park and renovating the preexisting facilities, and the expanded area of the park will extend the Dills Park Trail and provide a natural setting with a large meadow, picnic areas, restroom, and playground. The renovation of the existing parkland will convert this area into a nature walk that connects to the expansion area and provides improved accessibility on the Los Angeles River Trail. |
