2020 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 winter.

Jane Addams Park, Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project: The NEW 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 construction phase is anticipated to begin in the winter.

The project is funded by 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, 2018-19: 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 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, 2019-20: 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 winter.

Inglewood Avenue Widening Project: Phase I of NEW 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-ofway 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 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.

Completed Projects Inglewood Avenue Rehabilitation Project: Phase III of the project rehabilitated Inglewood Avenue to provide a dedicated left turn southbound onto Marine Avenue. The project also includes a raised landscaped median island, traffic synchronization, traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Inglewood and Marine and intersection of 147th and Inglewood, street striping, and other roadway modifications to complete the traffic improvements throughout the project limits. The project was completed in October 2019. Funding sources included Measure R, Prop C and Prop C-25%.

Crime Prevention and Safety Tips The holidays are coming upon us real soon.

Many people will be taking vacations and NEW ARTICLE leaving their homes and their vehicles unattended for days or weeks at a time. Here are some tips to help you from becoming a victim of a theft: Have the local post office hold your mail while you are away.

Avoid posting on social media that you are away from your house and traveling. There are many instances of victims posting where they are at and their home is burglarized during that time. No one says you can’t post, but try delaying a post until you’re home or post in private.

Ensure your outside lighting is in working order. Thieves like to work in the dark. Have light timers for your exterior and interior lights, which cuts down on your electricity bill and makes your place look as if someone is home.

Double-checking to make sure your house or vehicle’s doors are securely locked. Not surprisingly, thieves will enter your house or vehicle if the door is unlocked. The path of least resistance is what they will usually take.

Keep valuables out of view whether in your home or in your vehicle.

Thieves love looking into people’s houses or vehicles. Close the shades or curtains to your windows. Secure valuables in your vehicle’s trunk or, if you don’t have a trunk, secure the item in your glovebox, under your seat, or cover them.

Install a home or vehicle alarm and post the alarm signs in the front and the back of your house. Post signs that you have an alarm or a dog.

Install surveillance cameras which you can access through your mobile phone with an internet connection.

There are many kinds available; some allow you to view what’s occurring at your house and talk with potential thieves. Very handy when you’re thousands of miles away. Surveillance footage is certainly helpful to law enforcement if a crime does occur.
