end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") includes $1,718,681 in available funds for the design and construction of the Manhattan Beach Boulevard Resurfacing - Aviation Boulevard to Inglewood Avenue Project, Job No. 41190 ("Project"). The Project will provide street improvements, including repaving and restriping design, along Manhattan Beach Boulevard from Aviation Boulevard to Inglewood Avenue, approximately 1 mile in length. In addition, the Project will also include traffic signal modification design at the intersection of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Dow Avenue, landscaping and irrigation design for the existing raised center medians and frontage road median between Gibson Place and McBain Avenue. A major objective of the project is to install an appropriate bicycle facility for this corridor, as called for in the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan. The conceptual designs presented tonight will show some alternatives to achieve that objective.
