Commissioner presses staff on cleanup and lighting of 405/Century underpass ahead of World Cup
Summary
Commissioner Trejo asked whether city staff have plans to clean, light and landscape the I‑405 underpass at Century Boulevard and whether work can be completed before the World Cup; planning staff said the city is pursuing a partnership with Public Works and a grant opportunity and indicated they 'hope' to meet that target.
Commissioner Trejo asked planning staff whether the underpass area of the I‑405 at Century Boulevard — described in the record as "a mess" — has any scheduled cleanup, lighting or landscaping, and whether that work could be completed before the World Cup.
Planning staff responded that the city has identified an opportunity to partner with Public Works and pursue a grant to clean underpasses and freeway on‑ and off‑ramps throughout the city. The staff member said such design elements are being vetted (lighting, landscaping and maintenance/operations) and added, "We hope so. That's the plan," when asked whether the target date could be before the World Cup.
Commissioner Trejo described the condition of the underpass and welcomed the update; no specific funding amounts, deadlines or contractor assignments were recorded in the transcript excerpt. The exchange in this session is a staff planning update and direction to pursue interdepartmental coordination; it does not constitute a contract award or an immediate schedule commitment in the record provided.
