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.
June 2024
- DPW finalized consultant design team, which includes leads in environmental, civil design, geotechnical, survey and community outreach.
- The consultant design team held a kick-off on-site meeting on June 11th. DPW continues to collaborate with them on the design and permitting process for the emergency repairs, holding weekly meetings.
- An aerial LIDAR survey was conducted using a drone during the week of June 17th.
- Emergency work to stabilize Mirada Road is expected to start in late summer/early fall, pending permit approvals and sufficient funding.
- The consultant design team is developing a work plan for long-term solutions, including community engagement.
