Over the last two months, several capital street projects have begun.
The Valley View and Fresca Streets rehabilitation project along with the Americans with Disabilities pedestrian ramp replacement project, to meet required updated federal standards, which have changed since the ramps were installed, are nearing completion.
Both of these projects are largely funded by federal grants, which allows the City to stretch its Capital Improvement Program dollars.

A current project recently underway is the La Palma Avenue, from Moody Street to Valley View Street rehabilitation project. Also supplemented with federal funding, this project includes sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs, and full pavement overlay.
As this is a major arterial street through La Palma, the work schedule includes Saturdays to minimize impacts to residents. This is especially important as local schools begin classes on August 10.
Drivers are reminded to slow down in the construction zone and carefully look for students in the area on their way to and from school. The major components of the project are expected to be completed the week of August 22; with only striping, clean-up, and demobilization to be finished by mid-September. When completed these projects will improve vehicular and pedestrian mobility on these streets and sidewalks; and maintains La Palma’s high infrastructure standard.
