The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on March 3 ratified a local emergency declaration to address a deteriorating storm drain on Crenshaw Boulevard approximately 830 feet north of Crest Road, City Manager Arum Maranyan said.
City Manager Arum Maranyan said the council approved the measure on the consent calendar so the city could move quickly to stabilize the area and secure the site. “By formally declaring and ratifying the emergency, the city is able to act quickly to make necessary repairs and associated replacement of the failing storm drain to stabilize the area and secure the site without delay,” Maranyan said.
The declaration authorizes expedited contracting and construction work intended to stop further deterioration and reduce risks to nearby property and travel lanes while more permanent repairs are scheduled. The council took the action as a consent-calendar item; no roll-call vote tally was provided in the update.
The council did not specify a construction timeline or funding source in the remarks captured in the update. City materials referenced the site location and said staff would proceed with securing and stabilizing the drain; additional project details were not specified in the transcript.
Residents and nearby stakeholders can watch future council meetings for follow-up reports on the repairs at the city’s public channels, including RPV TV, the city’s YouTube channel, and rpvca.gov.
