A report on land use and engineering studies Land Use and
relative to the Century and Long Beach Freeways Engineering Study
was presented by the City Manager. The report
commented on the need for study and development of
precise plans for development of the interchange
area east of Wright Road south of Century Boulevard
which the State has agreed w111 be available for
industrial-commercial use. The State has accepted
the proposal and looks to the city for implementation
of the plan. Lynwood will doubtless serve as a
pilot project for similar development thoughout the
interstate highway system. The report also concerned
development of a plan and profile for Long Beach
Boulevard which, with the construction of the
freeway, is projected to become the most heavily
traveled street in the city. Because of the need
for professional analysis of the projects, it was
the Manager's belief that they should be handled by
an outside consulting firm as the city does not
have the staff to handle the projects. The Manager
has contacted the firm of Lampman and Associates
who did the previous studies relative to the
freeway. Cost facts for the two-phase study are
(1) Land Use - Interchange area $8,000; (2) Plan
~7
Land Use and and Profile - Long Beach Boulevard, $16,000. As
Engineering Long Beach Boulevard is a select system street
Study the project can be financed from gas tax funds.
The Manager informed the Council that the work
which Lampman and Associates would do would
include contacting the various industrial people
who would require relocation because of the
freeway and attempt to relocate them in the
proposed industrial park. They would lay out .~,
the streets and parcels and present precise
plans for the development of the area. The
State proposes to construct the viaduct section
first and prepare the area under and adjacent to
it for development. Developers who have been
contacted are very interested ~~_r: the project but
the city must have concrete plans to offer. The
Manager introduced Mr. Cliff Lampman, Mr. Tipton
and Mr. Stapleton, of Lampman and Associates, who
were present to answer any questions the Council
might have.
Councilman Siokos stated that in light of the need
for the proposed projects and lack of city personnel
to accomplish the studies and engineering essential
to the future development of the city, he moved that
the city enter into an agreement with Lampman and
Associates for the study proposed by the City
Manager. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Liewer.
Roll Call:
Ayes: Councilmen Byork, Green, Liewer, Siokos.
Noes: None.
Absent: Councilman Stevens.
