• I-710 Freeway Project, Gateway Cities COG
Richard Powers, the Executive Director of Gateway Cities COG stated that in
1999 the COG identified the I-710 freeway as the single largest transportation
problem in their 27 city region. During that-time period, the city of Lynwood was
a founding member of the COG and the I-710 project. A hybrid design for the
freeway was approved in 2004. All of the 14 cities in the quarter and 21 public
agencies unanimously agreed that the I-710 freeway should proceed forward.
Currently, the freeway is in the Environmental Phase, which is a 33 million dollar
effort and in another 3 years the project will be ready for engineering and
construction. Located in the Southern. portion of the corridor are the Edison
power easements and located in the Northern corridor are the City of Los
Angeles power easements, therefore, there will not be a need for the taking of
additional homes. The ability to move containers stays within the two rights of
way. During the period from 2005 to 2008, 14 to 15 million containers have been
projected to leave the ports. By the ports own estimates by 2030, there will be
44 million containers leaving the ports. If the port growth continues something
must be done. The COG is looking at non freeway corridors and alternate
technologies for the continued sustenance of the economy by the enabling the
movement of large volumes of containers, there by not adversely impacting
r~ cities. Local cities have had a community base view of the situation. Keeping
the air clean is a goal which the 710 study in 2004 showed evidence of
attainment. The congestion remains to be an issue. The actual volume of the
containers is still in question. The data that comes out of the current study will
attempt to answer this issue for the communities, ports and logistics. The roll of
the City of Lynwood in the structure of the I-710 process starts with each City
Council .in the corridor appointing a Community Advisory Committee. The chair
would sit on a quarter like committee of all of the 14 cities, the county, Caltrans,
MTA and SKGS.
• Anti Prostitution Rally -Laura Alderete
Laura Alderete, Marketing and Grants and Manager, stated that last Friday, the
rally headed by the Council Members was very productive. There were about
200 people in attendance that marched against prostitution. .She proceeded to
show a video clip of the 11 o'clock news which showed film footage of the march.
She stated that the march was the first step of several initiatives that staff will
take to continue this campaign. She gave a power point presentation showing
clips of the community members that participated in the march.
The Mayor thanked Debora Jackson, Laura Alderete, J.D. Whitaker, the Sheriffs'
Department and staff. She stated that the principal of Helen Keller Elementary
was very happy with the march. Many students and parents participated in the
march. There were six television stations present, three in Spanish and three in
English. The City was asked by the school staff to have another march before
the school year is over. The Mayor invited everyone to get involved with this
march.
• City Council Member Reporting on Meetings Attended (Gov.
Code Section 53232.3(D))
The Council Members and the City Manager attended the International Council of
Shopping Centers Conference. They found: this meeting to be very informative,
enlightening and productive. There were about 50 to 60 thousand people in
attendance. Council's attendance was for the purpose of identifying and bringing
in major retail businesses into the City of Lynwood. They were able to meet with
different developers and retailers. Lynwood's demographics and location are
very appealing to prospective retail companies. In the near future, there will be
major retail stores located in the City of Lynwood, which will bring in higher
revenue and sales tax.
