Work continues on bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements to Beach Drive and West Campus Drive. As part of this work Beach Drive and West Campus drive will be closed for application of slurry seal on Saturday, August 10th. This will prevent access to lots 1,4,5, & 6 on that day. Questions relating to the project should be directed to Enrique Robles, Office of Design & Construction Services, 562-985-4175.
Repair and routine maintenance work have been scheduled during the upcoming weeks for several Parking Lots. Please refer to the attached map for planned construction dates. Construction dates may change due to unforeseen conditions. Please refer to the map for planned construction dates. All work will be completed prior to the start of the Fall Semester.
The scope of work at each lot is as follows:
Lot 6 (Anticipated Start: 08/06/2013. Anticipated Finish: 08/09/2013):

Lot 9 (Anticipated Start: 08/12/2013. Anticipated Finish: 08/14/2013):
Replace damaged asphalt paving just in the parking area between the DES and HS&D buildings. Repaint all stalls and traffic markings. Only this portion of the lot will be closed during construction.
Lot 12 (Anticipated Start: 08/12/2013. Anticipated Finish: 08/16/2013):
Replace damaged asphalt paving at the west end of the lot, slurry seal the entire lot, and repaint all stalls and traffic markings. The lot will be closed for the duration of the repair activities. Alternate parking will be available in Parking Structures Two and Three.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience while we make these improvements.
Due to the construction of a new pedestrian walkway linking 7th Street and campus, the existing sidewalk on the north side (campus side) of 7th that goes through the VA campus will be closed. Completion is scheduled for August 16, 2013. Please go here to see diagram of the affected area and pedestrian detours.
Construction at Beach and West Campus Drive. Use Atherton Street, Palo Verde Avenue, or East Campus Drive for easier access
New shared bike lanes and enhanced pedestrian crossings will be added at Beach and West Campus Drive. Construction has begun and will continue through the summer. Entering/exiting the campus using Atherton Street, Palo Verde Avenue, or East Campus Drive may provide a smoother commute. This safety improvement project includes repair, slurry, and restripe on West Campus Drive and Beach Drive from 7th Street to Bellflower. Also included will be new ADA curb ramps, crosswalks, flashing beacons, street lights, catch basin, sidewalks, railing, signs, and landscape. We will maintain a minimum of 1 lane in each direction. Please be aware that at times traffic lanes will be reduced to 1 lane only with flag men at each end to provide traffic control. All required traffic control devices will be maintained throughout the duration of this project to provide proper and safe delineations for vehicular travel. There will be a need to relocate some bus stops on occasions and signs will be provided showing the route to a temporary or nearby bus stop. Additionally detour signs will be provided and maintained for all pedestrian paths including those required to be accessible. Please go here to see diagram of affected area.
Thank you for your patience as we make our campus more sustainable by improving our roadways and supporting alternate transportation. Any questions call the Office of Design and Construction at (562) 985-4175.
Intermittent daytime closures of the 7th Street / eastbound SR-22 connector to the northbound I–605 freeway will continue only as needed over the next few weeks. This connector will also be closed for intermittent night work (11 p.m. to 5 a.m.), as part of regularly scheduled nightly construction activities. More.
