Update: Lakeshore Drive paving design advances; public workshop planned before April council vote
Summary
Engineers reported that preliminary survey work for the Lakeshore Drive paving project is complete and that refined plans will be provided to the council late March; a public workshop is recommended and the grant application deadline for competitive funding is July 31.
HOS Engineering updated the Long Beach Town Council on March 9 on the Lakeshore Drive paving project, reporting that most field survey work is complete and that the firm is finalizing CAD and design refinements.
Timeline outlined by HOS: an internal draft of preliminary engineering plans was expected in mid-March, a refined draft would be submitted to the council late March for review, and the council would be asked to approve preliminary engineering plans for phase one at the April 13 meeting. HOS recommended hosting a public workshop on the refined plans before finalizing designs to gather community input, and noted that phase-one final design work is targeted for May 1'June 30.
Staff emphasized grant timing: the town intends to submit a competitive grant application with a July 31 deadline and said it is critical the application be complete and error-free to avoid rejection. Phase one would focus on the far western segment (stop 13) with construction planning to proceed eastward in subsequent phases.
Next steps: HOS will provide refined plans to council for late-March review, staff will schedule a public workshop (staff indicated April 6 as a possible week), and the council will consider approval of the preliminary engineering plans at the April meeting to allow a timely grant submission.
