2018 Fall and 2019 Winter Capital Improvements Program Update The Public Works Department is pleased to provide you with this quarterly update of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The program covers: street, concrete, and traffic improvements (including sidewalk, curb and gutter), parks, and city facilities improvements. Projects are currently under construction or in the planning and design phases.
Current Projects Traffic Signal Installation Project, Marine and Osage Avenue Intersection: Staff performed a traffic safety study to review vehicle and pedestrian traffic volumes at Marine and Osage avenues. Currently, Marine Avenue has two lanes of travel in each direction and is classified as an east-west minor arterial roadway. There is a marked yellow crosswalk across Marine Avenue on the westerly side of the intersection, along with advanced Slow School Xing markings, overhead flashing beacons, and pedestrian crossing signage. Hartzog and Crabill, Inc., the City’s traffic engineering consultant, is working with staff to design a fully actuated traffic signal at the intersection of Marine and Osage avenues. The scope of work for design will include utility research and coordination, potholing, survey, traffic signal plans, signing and striping plans, traffic signal timing and construction cost estimates. The construction phase for this project is anticipated to begin in the latter part of 2018. Burin House Demolition: The demolition and removal of the City’s residential property located at 14720 Burin Avenue (Burin House) has been longtime programmed into the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The removal was a requirement established during the development of the City’s Harold E. Hofmann Community Center. The project includes demolition and construction of a masonry wall around the property perimeter extending the existing Community Center parking lot. The project is in the design phase and will be funded using Bond Proceeds. The construction phase for this project is anticipated to begin this fall. Jane Addams Park, Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project: The project includes re-grading of the uneven parking lot surface, removal and replacement of damaged/uneven curbs and sidewalks, and re-striping the parking lot. The project will be funded by the City’s general fund. The construction phase for this project is anticipated to begin this coming winter. Traffic Signal Modification Project, Intersection of Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne Boulevards: Currently, the traffic signal on Manhattan Beach Boulevard does not have a left-turn signal phase for vehicles turning northbound or southbound onto Hawthorne Boulevard. This intersection and signal improvements project will add a protected, permissive left turn in the west and eastbound direction, establish a safer intersection and will enhance traffic mobility on Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Hawthorne Boulevard. The project is currently in the design phase. The construction phase is anticipated to begin in Spring 2019. The project is funded by a Los Angeles County Measure R grant funds. Grevillea Avenue Street Improvements: This project consists of pavement improvements, street striping, street reconstruction, repair of damaged sidewalks, curb and gutters, and driveways. The project area will be solely along Grevillea Avenue extending from Manhattan Beach Boulevard to Marine Avenue. The project is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Los Angeles County Measure R funds. The project is expected to begin this coming winter.
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project, 2017-18: This road maintenance project includes the reconstruction of pavement for a number of alleys in the city on the easterly side of Hawthorne Boulevard between W. 163rd Street and W. 166th Streets and W. 167th Street to W. 168th Street. This project will be with funded using Gas Tax Rehab (SB-1) funds. This project is funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRA) road rehabilitation funding, Transportation Development Act (TDA) transportation funding and city general funds. The project is expected to begin this coming winter. Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project, 2018-19: This project is an investment in the infrastructure of our local streets and roads with a special emphasis on basic maintenance and safety as it relates to pavement improvements, street striping, street reconstruction, repair of damaged sidewalks, driveways and curb and gutter. The project scope will include road work on the following street segments: W. 149th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Larch Avenue; W. 160th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Freeman Avenue; and W. 167th Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Freeman Avenue. This project is funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act (RRA) road rehabilitation funding, Transportation Development Act (TDA) transportation funding and Los Angeles County Measure R funds. The project is anticipated to begin this fall. Concrete Repair Project: The project includes repairing damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters, cross gutters, alley gutters, curb return ramps, driveways and alley approaches. The project boundaries are as follows: east of Hawthorne Boulevard, south of W. 166th Street, west of 405 Freeway and north of Redondo Beach Boulevard. The project will be funded using Redevelopment Agency Bond Proceeds. The construction phase is anticipated to begin in the fall. Inglewood Avenue Widening Project: Phase I of the project involves striping of Inglewood Avenue to create a new northbound third lane on Inglewood Avenue from approximately 140 feet south of the railroad tracks. The project also includes upgrades and modifications of traffic signals and signage, driveway approaches, sidewalks, curb ramps, and striping. Phase II of the project involves improvements to the Inglewood Avenue and Marine Avenue intersection which includes: construction of a new 13 feet wide westbound right turn only lane at the northwest corner of Inglewood and Marine avenues, and an extension of the lane approximately 350 feet north. The new right-turn lane requires 15 feet of right-of-way acquisition, relocation of a number of Southern California Edison power poles and street lights, removal and replacement of an existing catch basin and associated piping, driveway approach(es), curb and gutter, and sidewalk, and relocation of existing aboveground features such as signs, bollard posts, private parking light poles, electrical cabinets, pull boxes and a number of other features. As well, minor improvements within privately owned properties where construction impacts are anticipated for the new right turn only lane will be made. The project also consists of grind and overlay of asphalt pavement; upgrade of curb ramps, and street striping. Phase III of the project will widen Inglewood Avenue to provide a third southbound traffic lane from south of W. 147th Street to Marine Avenue. The project will also provide a continuous 10-foot sidewalk from Lawndale High School to Marine Avenue, a raised landscaped median island, traffic synchronization, street striping, and other roadway modifications. The project is currently in the design phase. It is anticipated that the project will be completed in 2019. Funding sources include Los Angeles County Measure R, California State Proposition C and other federal funds.

Do You Have a Green Thumb? Lawndale is Calling All Gardeners!

Vehicle Safety Tips Seasons have the effect of wreaking havoc on the perishable parts of our automobiles. Deferred maintenance of these parts may seem benign, but they may actually be vital to your roadway safety. For a safe winter and holiday season, follow these tips for “winterizing” your vehicle. 1. W indshield wipers: As a rule, windshield wipers should be replaced every six months, or when you notice a difference in driving visibility. When the rubber is compromised from the elements, it becomes more rigid and shrinks, sacrificing complete wiper blade coverage on the curved auto windshields. When wiper blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface, they begin to squeak, smear, or streak, reducing driving visibility. 2. T ires: Check the wear on your tires. Balding tires make maneuverability and stopping a greater challenge on wet roadways. How to check your tires: Place a penny, head first, into the tread grooves across the tire. If you see the top of Lincoln’s head, then your tire treads are shallow and worn and need to be replaced. Additionally, tire manufacturers recommend that you change your tires every 10 years. A good tire option, especially if you are traveling to diverse winter climates, is all season tires. The tread rubber, tread depth, patterns and biting edges are unique to these tires that increase maneuverability, response and braking in winter and summer seasons. 3. K eep your windshield washer fluid tank full. This will help you keep your windshield free of debris and visible. 4. P ack a winter safety kit including: Pack of matches, first aid kit, flares, flashlight and batteries, warm clothing (extra jacket, socks, boots, hat, blanket), non-perishable food and beverage, jumper cables, and car tool kit. 5. Service your vehicle regularly. 6. M aintain proper tire pressure. Proper tire pressure guidelines can be found on the tire placard in the driver’s door jamb, or in the owner’s manual. 7. Keep your gas tank at least half full.

Back to School Safety Checklist: Transportation Safety: Whether your children walk to school, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is extremely important that they take proper safety precautions. Below are some tips to make sure your child safely travels to school. When Walking to School: Review your family’s walking safety rules. Walk on the sidewalk if one is available. When on a street with no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so you can see the motorists as they travel towards you. Before you cross the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming. Never dart out in front of a parked car. Practice walking to school with your child. Cross streets at crosswalks and controlled intersections when available. When Riding a Bicycle to School: Make sure your child wears his/her helmet when leaving the house. Make sure helmet is fitted and secured properly. Teach your children the rules of the road. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, and in a single file. Come to a complete stop before crossing the street. Walk your bike when crossing any street. When Riding the Bus to School: Go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus. Make sure your children stand six feet away from the curb. If your child and you need to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the side of the road until you are 10 feet ahead of the bus. You should be able to see the bus driver, and the bus driver should be able to see you. School Safety: Many school-related injuries are completely preventable. Follow these steps to ensure your child’s safety at school. Preventing backpack-related injuries Choose a backpack for your child carefully. It should have ergonomically designed features to enhance safety and comfort. Don’t overstuff a backpack; it should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of your child’s body weight. For example, a child that weighs 60 pounds should carry a backpack no heavier than 12 pounds. Ask your children to use both straps when wearing their backpack to evenly distribute the weight on their shoulders. Preventing playground-related injuries Encourage your child to use playgrounds with a soft surface. Avoid playgrounds with concrete surfaces, as they are too hard if your child falls. Children under the age of four should use climbing equipment with assistance and adult supervision and watch out for older children when they’re climbing, especially on monkey bars.

Actualización del Programa de Mejoras Importantes de Otoño del 2018 y de Invierno del 2019 El Departamento de Obras Públicas se complace en comunicarles la actualización trimestral del Programa de Mejoras Importantes de la Ciudad (CIP). El programa cubre: calles, concreto, mejoras al tráfico (incluyendo banquetas, aceras y coladeras), mejoras a los parques e instalaciones de la ciudad. Los proyectos se encuentran actualmente en construcción o están en su fase de planeación y diseño.
Proyectos Actuales Proyecto de instalación de señales de tránsito, intersección de las Avenidas Marine y Osage: El personal realizó un estudio en cuanto a la seguridad de tránsito para revisar los volúmenes de tráfico de vehículos y peatones en las avenidas Marine y Osage. Actualmente, la Avenida Marine tiene dos carriles de tráfico en cada dirección y está clasificada como una vía arterial menor este-oeste. Cuenta con un cruce de peatones marcado en amarillo en la Avenida Marine en el lado oeste de la intersección, junto con modernas marcas para bajar la velocidad por escuela, Slow School Xing, luces intermitentes arriba del cruce, y señalamiento del cruce de peatones. Hartzog y Crabill, Inc., consultores de ingeniería de tráfico de la ciudad, están trabajando con el personal para diseñar una señal de tráfico completamente activada, en la intersección de las avenidas Marine y Osage.

Consejos de Seguridad para los Vehículos Las estaciones tienen el efecto de causar estragos en las partes perecederas de nuestros automóviles. El mantenimiento diferido de estas partes puede parecer benigno, pero podría ser vital para su seguridad vial. Para tener un invierno seguro, así como para las fiestas Navideñas, siga los siguientes consejos para mantener su vehículo en buenas condiciones para este invierno. 1. L impiaparabrisas: Como una regla, los limpiaparabrisas deben ser repuestos cada seis meses o cuando note una diferencia en su visibilidad al manejar. Cuando el hule se vea dañado por los elementos, si se pone rígido o encoje, comprometiendo completamente la cobertura para limpiar el parabrisas. Cuando las escobillas ya no hagan contacto adecuado con la curva del parabrisas, si empiezan a rechinar, a rallar o a reducir la visibilidad al manejar. 2. L as llantas/los neumáticos: Revisar el desgaste de las llantas. Los neumáticos lisos hacen que el maniobrar y detener el auto sea un reto mayor en carreteras mojadas. ¿Cómo revisar sus llantas? Meta una moneda de un centavo, con la cabeza de Lincoln hacia el frente, entre las ranuras del neumático. Si ve la parte de arriba de la cabeza de Lincoln, es que la suela del neumático es poco profunda y está desgastada y tiene que ser repuesta. Además los fabricantes de los neumáticos recomiendan que cambie sus llantas cada 10 años. Una buena opción de un neumático, especialmente si maneja por diferentes climas invernales, es usar neumáticos para toda temporada. La rodada del neumático, la profundidad, los patrones y las orillas del neumático son únicas en estas llantas que aumentan la maniobrabilidad, la respuesta y el frenado durante las estaciones de invierno y verano. 3. M antenga lleno el tanque de líquido del limpiaparabrisas. Esto ayudará a mantener su parabrisas visible y sin basura. 4. E mpaque un estuche de seguridad para el invierno incluyendo: Una cajita de cerillos, un botiquín de primeros auxilios, linterna y pilas, ropa para frío (chamarra extra, calcetines, botas, gorro, cobija), alimentos y bebidas que no perezcan, cables para pasar carga a la batería y un estuche de herramientas para auto. 5. Dele mantenimiento a su vehículo regularmente. 6. M antenga la presión adecuada en sus neumáticos. Las reglas de la presión adecuada se pueden encontrar en la placa de información de llantas en el interior de la puerta del chofer, o en el manual del propietario. 7. M antenga su tanque de gasolina por lo menos a la mitad.

Lista de Seguridad de Regreso a la Escuela: Seguridad en la Transportación: Ya sea que sus hijos caminen a la escuela, vayan en bicicleta o tomen el autobús, es muy importante que tomen las debidas precauciones. A continuación tenemos algunos consejos para asegurar que sus hijos estén a salvo al ir a la escuela. Al Caminar a la Escuela: Repase las reglas de seguridad al caminar con su familia. Camine por la banqueta, si es que hay banqueta disponible. Cuando se encuentre en una calle sin banqueta, camine dándole de frente al tráfico para que pueda ver a los motoristas cuando vienen hacia usted. Antes de cruzar la calle, pare, mire a la izquierda, a la derecha y a la izquierda otra vez para ver si vienen carros. Nunca se atraviese apresuradamente en frente de un auto estacionado. Practique caminar a la escuela con su hijo(a). Cruce la calle en el cruce de peatones y en las intersecciones controladas cuando las haya disponibles. Al ir en bicicleta a la escuela: Asegúrese que su hijo(a) se ponga su casco al salir de la casa. Asegúrese que el casco le quede bien y se asegure adecuadamente. Enseñe a sus hijos a obedecer las reglas de tránsito. Ande en la bicicleta en el lado derecho de la calle, en la misma dirección del tráfico y en una fila. Párese completamente antes de cruzar la calle. Camine junto a su bicicleta al cruzar cualquier calle. Al ir a la escuela en autobús: Vaya a la parada del autobús con su hijo(a) y enséñele la manera apropiada de subirse y bajarse del autobús. Asegúrese que sus hijos se paren a seis pies de la orilla de la banqueta. Si usted y su hijo necesitan cruzar la calle en frente del autobús, camine a un lado de la calle hasta que esté a 10 pies adelante del autobús. Debe poder ver al conductor del autobús y que el conductor pueda verlo a usted. Seguridad en la Escuela: Muchas lesiones ocurridas en relación con la escuela, se pueden evitar completamente. Siga estos pasos para asegurar que su hijo(a) esté a salvo en la escuela. Evite lesiones relacionadas con las mochilas Escoja cuidadosamente una mochila para su hijo(a). Debe tener características diseñadas ergonómicamente para mayor seguridad y comodidad. No la rellene de más. No debe pesar más de 10 a 20 por ciento del peso de su hijo(a). Por ejemplo, si su hijo(a) pesa 60 libras, debe cargar una mochila que pese no más de 12 libras. Pídales a sus hijos que se pongan las dos correas de sus mochilas, para distribuir uniformemente el peso sobre sus hombros. Evite lesiones relacionadas con las áreas de juegos Aliente a su hijo(a) a que juegue en áreas de juegos con superficies suaves. Evite áreas de juegos con superficies de concreto porque son demasiado duras para las caídas de los niños. Los niños menores de cuatro años deben usar el equipo para treparse, con ayuda de un adulto que los supervise y poner atención a los niños mayores cuando se trepan, especialmente en las barras de chango.
