May 2024
- The Department of Public Works (DPW) was able to secure $1,156,661 in County funding for the Mirada Road Repair Project through savings from the Mirada Road Pedestrian Bridge Project.
- DPW is working with consultants to develop a team to address the emergency repair work and long term repair plan that will include coastal, civil, and geotechnical engineers. Part of this work will include the community outreach and engagement plan.
- DPW has met with a contractor in the field and is reviewing a proposal that was submitted for roadway stabilization. However, the current budget is not sufficient to fund the repairs based on the proposal received.
- DPW has installed additional signs for the one-way roadway configuration and continues to monitor the traffic patterns for additional modifications. DPW has also marked a portion of Magellan Avenue near Mirada Road as no parking to improve conditions in that area.
- DPW is working towards starting the emergency work to stabilize Mirada Road. Work is expected to start in July of 2024 at the earliest, pending permit approvals and sufficient funding. Permit approvals are needed from external agencies and the approval and timing of permits is outside of the control of DPW.
