DATE: October 23, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Steve Myrter P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: 1 -405 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT- AESTHETICS PLAN
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council provide input on the 1 -405 Improvement Project Aesthetics
Plan for areas within the City Limits.
BACKGROUND:
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in cooperation with the State of
California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans), is implementing
improvements to the 1 -405 Freeway between the SR -73 and 1 -605 Freeways.
The project includes the addition of one (1) mixed -flow lane and one (1) express
lane, and the conversion of the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane to
an express lane. OCTA has been working with Caltrans and the corridor
agencies on various elements of the project, including the Project Aesthetics and
Landscape Master (PALM) Plan.
One component of the design plans is the PALM Plan. The PALM includes
treatments proposed for bridges, retaining walls, and sound walls throughout the
corridor.
The only bridge that will be affected by the 1 -405 Improvement Project in Seal
Beach is the Seal Beach Boulevard Bridge Overcrossing. OCTA's team is
proposing four (4) Community Identifier /Art Panel Monuments for this bridge.
These will be located over the columns at both ends of the bridge. The freeway
side of the monument will allow for the placement of the City logo. On the street
side by the sidewalk, there is potential for artwork to be displayed. Attachment A
shows conceptually the location of the logo and artwork.
Staff has attached a few sample City logos that have been used in the past. See
Attachment B. For the artwork, OCTA seeks direction on elements that would be
incorporated in Art Panel Monuments. Some elements may include, but not
limited to, a pier, shoreline, waves, beach, and sunset or any combination
thereof.
Agenda Item K
Once the City provides direction to OCTA's design team for the logo design and
artwork, OCTA will take the input and prepare two (2) draft logos and two (2)
draft artworks. Staff will then present the drafts to the City Council at a future
meeting for final approval.
Staff is seeking City Council's direction for the 1 -405 Freeway aesthetic
treatments for incorporation that will be used for the 1 -405 Freeway Project.
Construction is expected to start in early 2018.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact associated with this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
A legal review is not required for this item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated at this time. The construction of
decorative treatments is included in the project budget. The maintenance
responsibility of the community identifiers and the art panel monuments will be
the City's responsibility. The City will include this as part of its maintenance and
operations budget. It is anticipated that the City's responsibility will start following
project completion in Year 2022.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council provides input on the 1-405 Improvement Project Aesthetics
Plan for areas within the City Limits.
