The City of Los Alamitos will soon complete a citywide street improvement project as part of its ongoing pavement management program. Street improvements are one of the many representations of residents’ tax dollars at work and among the most important public assets to provide safety and valuable aesthetics for the community.
According to a press release issued by the city, the street improvement includes a grind and overlay, replacement of damaged curb and gutter, and lifted sidewalk to correct drainage, as well as modifying ADA curb ramps to current codes as necessary. The following streets are included in the project:
• Florista Street (Los Alamitos Boulevard to Cherry Street)
• Cherry Street
• Toland Circle
• Kaylor Avenue
• Fenley Drive
• Holden Circle
• Del Norte Way
• El Dorado Way
• San Joaquin Avenue
• Toland Avenue
• Antietam Avenue
• Kearsarge Avenue
• Siboney Street
• Katella Avenue Frontage
• Paseo Bonita
• Lampson Avenue Frontage
• Lunar Drive
• Olympic Drive
• Satellite Drive
• City owned parking lot along Pine Street
The City also completed its annual commitment to Citywide Striping Project (Street/Pavement Marking Project). The traffic striping and pavement markings project included updates in the Old Town West Neighborhood, Old Dutch Haven Neighborhood, Briggeman Drive, Sausalito Street, and Cerritos Avenue. Examples of the improvements included restriping street crosswalks, incorporating bike lanes on Cerritos Avenue (from Los Alamitos Boulevard to Bloomfield Avenue) and painting traffic calming measures into Old Town West. Street centerlines and medians were also restriped in order to improve visibility to drivers and pedestrians.
Lastly, the Arterial Sign Replacement Project, which was also finalized this year, consisted of the replacement of aging traffic signal overhead arterial street name signs. In 2020, as part of the first phase, arterial signs were installed along Los Alamitos Boulevard from Katella Avenue to Cerritos Avenue. As part of this second and final phase, the project installed new arterial signs at traffic signals for the remainder of the city along Ball Road, Cerritos Avenue, and Katella Avenue. The new street sign includes the City Logo and spells out “City of Los Alamitos” on the bottom of the sign.
