Council approves pause on traffic‑signal replacement; awards Peck Road/Mountain Avenue improvements contract
Summary
Monrovia approved Option 2 on the Peck Road and Mountain Avenue Improvements Program — delaying signal replacement at Lehi and Mountain while proceeding with other work — and awarded a contract to All American Asphalt for road improvements. Council member Jimenez recused from the item; vote details were not specified in the meeting recap.
The Monrovia City Council approved an option that delays replacement of the traffic signal at Lehi Street and Mountain Avenue and awarded a construction contract for the Peck Road and Mountain Avenue Improvements Program at its May 20 meeting.
Alex Tachiki, a public works staff member, presented three options for the project, which covers roughly 1.3 miles of Peck Road and includes intersection improvements at Mountain and Lehi. Tachiki said one funding plan would result in a total project cost of about $5.3 million and could save more than $600,000 under a particular configuration.
After a brief discussion of design timing and underground utilities, the council approved “Option 2,” described in the staff presentation as delaying the traffic‑signal replacement at Lehi and Mountain and pursuing other improvements now. The council then approved the award of contract to All American Asphalt for the improvements. Council member Jimenez recused from the item because of a disclosed conflict of interest.
The staff presentation also noted water‑system considerations under the project area and referenced longer‑term planning for design and water‑system work.
The meeting recap did not provide a roll‑call vote tally or the names of mover and seconder for the motion; the contract award and approval of Option 2 were reported as approved on the consent of the council members present.
City staff said more detailed project documents and the full presentation are available on the city agenda and staff report for the Peck Road and Mountain Avenue Improvements Program.
