Inglewood council approves $14 million for Crenshaw Boulevard intelligent-transportation project

The Inglewood City Council on April 14 approved an amendment to a Metro funding agreement that increases Measure M funding for the Crenshaw Boulevard intelligent transportation system (ITS) project.

City staff recommended approval of "funding agreement number 9200000000M550711, amendment number 1," which adds $5,200,000 in Measure M funds, "resulting in a revised total funding amount of 14,000,000 for the Crenshaw Boulevard intelligent transportation system project," the city read into the record. The council voted unanimously to accept the amendment.

The amendment was described by staff as an increase to the existing Measure M contribution to accelerate or expand the Crenshaw Boulevard ITS work. A roll call recorded in the meeting showed Councilmember Gray, Councilman Padilla, Councilman Ala Morales and Councilwoman Falk voting "aye," joined by Mayor Butts, producing a unanimous approval.

The agreement is listed in the staff report by its full number. The city did not specify project schedules or a construction start date during the public portion of the report. Council members framed the vote as a routine approval of a Metro funding amendment; no substantive debate about scope or schedule was recorded during the item.

The council's action authorizes the city to proceed with the revised Measure M funding share for the Crenshaw Boulevard ITS project; further implementation details and timeline were not specified on the record. The staff report and the signed amendment will be available in city files as part of the project record.
