Work is currently paused at the sinkhole while the engineers prepare a plan for the drain and road repairs. Once the plan and costs for the road repairs are ready, it will go to the RHCA Board for review. The RHCA expects this to happen in May. NARBONNE AVE. ANTICIPATED ROAD WORK The City of Lomita will be installing a new 8-inch water main and rehabilitating Narbonne Avenue between PCH and Palos Verdes Drive North. Work will start in late-Spring or early Summer 2024 and will last 3-4 months. Expect lane closures and delays. AVOID THE WAIT, USE THE CREST GATE! The Main Gate processes 50%-60% more guests than the Crest or Eastfield gates and gets most of the large trucks and first-time visitors which also slows the entry process down creating backup traffic. Please let your guests and workers know that they may be able to gain entry quicker by using the Crest Gate. Crest has the least traffic in the morning and lines are virtually non-existent. This will relieve the congestion at the Main Gate. TENTATIVE AGENDA CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING MON DAY, APRIL 22, 2024 THIS AGENDA MAY NOT BE COMPLETE.
