AGENDA REPORT
DATE:

TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:
David N. Carmany, City Manager
FROM:
Vince Mastrosimone, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:
RECEIVE AND FILE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SEAL
BEACH BOULEVARD AND LAMPSON AVENUE MEDIAN PROJECT
No. 50234
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
The proposed council action will receive and file project plans and specifications for the Seal
Beach Boulevard and Lampson Avenue Median Project No. 50234.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has plan checked and approved the plans and specifications for the Seal Beach Boulevard
& Lampson Avenue Median Project No. 50234. The plans were designed by DMS Consulting.
The project consists of design of new medians and landscaping along Seal Beach Boulevard
from Pacific Coast Highway to Bolsa Avenue and along Lampson Avenue from Seal Beach
Boulevard to approximately 400 feet east of Tulip Street. The goal of the project was to beautifY
the two corridors by unifying the theme of the landscaping along the medians.
The portion along Seal Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to Bolsa Avenue has an
existing l4-foot wide painted median that is inconsistent with the landscaped median theme
along the entire length of Seal Beach Boulevard. The new design will incorporate a new
landscaped median with l2-inch wide stamped concrete bands at the back: of the curb and
landscape maintenance pads. The median design was coordinated with the Los Alamitos School
District to ensure that the existing bus routes would not be adversely affected by the project. This
is the final portion of proposed median, landscaping, and irrigation improvements that will match
the existing median improvements with the medians north of the project area.
The project portion along Lampson Avenue has existing medians and landscaping with mature
trees. The proposed project will install new medians, landscaping, and irrigation consistent with
the existing median design along Seal Beach Boulevard. Once completed, the medians on
Lampson Ave should have a unified aesthetic which should flow and continue down Seal Beach
Boulevard and ultimately to Pacific Coast Highway.
