The City of Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment is working with the local stakeholders, including the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), City of El Segundo, City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation, local residents and community-based organizations to develop a project to beautify the Imperial Highway median from California Street to Vista del Mar, expand recreational opportunities, and capture, reuse, and recycle stormwater runoff from the adjacent neighborhoods.
Measure W Imperial Highway Project: The project application was submitted to LA County in late July 2022. It is now at LA County’s Safe Clean Water Program’s (SCWP) Scoring Committee for evaluation and calculation of the total number of points the project will receive.
This final verification of points for the project will take place during the next SCWP Scoring Committee meeting on Thursday, November 3, 2022. The project will then be sent to the Central Santa Monica Bay Watershed Area Steering Committee (or CSMB WASC) for final evaluation and, ultimately, the decision of whether the project will receive funding – this will take place early 2023.
