THE UPPER PIER
AVENUE PROJECT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In early Summer 2007 the Upper Pier Avenue Committee conducted a citywide survey. The surveying ended in early July, and a slide presentation of the results was made at the August 1 UPAC meeting. (The slide presentation is a link on that meeting's agenda - see "Supplemental" item 7(a)). However, the underlying detailed tabulation was not made available on the Committee's official website, so it is being made available here, in two large pdf's provided to DHLLN by City staff. DHLLN also requested the raw data, but has not received it.Survey Tabulation, July, Part A

On January 18, 2006 the Hermosa Beach Public Works Commission voted 4 - 1 (Winnek dissenting) to approve a 6-month test (by painted striping) of reducing the number of traffic lanes on upper Pier. The staff report for that meeting is available on the City's site. See additional info and diagrams below.--------------------------------------------------------------------

The
following diagrams were presented at the January 18,
2006 Public Work
Commission meeting. While Option "A" was adopted
at that time,
the Trial Striping plan subsequently was modified to
include a center
third lane to be used for left turns. At the
council meeting of
February 28, City Manager Steve Burrell said that
before the Trial
Striping could be done, the project would have to come
back to the
council for final approval.
