Project Description
The project primarily resurfaced Del Amo Boulevard from Bloomfield Avenue to Norwalk Boulevard. This half-mile segment of Del Amo Boulevard connects the easterly City limits to other cities and Orange County. In addition to rehabilitating the northerly pavement the project replaced sidewalk, curb and gutter, eight ADA-accessible ramps, provided for low impact development (LID) improvements to capture all storm water and urban run-off and infiltrate it into the groundwater basin, converted the parkway and median irrigation system from potable to reclaimed water, re-established new trees and landscaping within the entirely of the parkway, and installed an interconnect conduit which will be used in a future interconnect project and/or expand the City’s IT infrastructure. To assist in establishing new modes of transportation the project provided for a Class 2 bike lane. This rehabilitation project allows our residents, the residents from neighboring jurisdictions, and residents from west Orange County, to drive, bike, and/or walk on Del Amo Boulevard from Bloomfield Avenue to Norwalk Boulevard and enjoy the beautiful landscape parkways.
