SB-960 Complete Streets Act is the LAW

 

Dear Laguna Residents,

GREAT NEWS:   Sponsors like Calbike and YOU supporters can celebrate because this morning 9/27 and as promised, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senator Scott Wiener’s Complete Streets Bill, SB 960! It will require CALTRANS to serve the needs of people who bike, walk, and take transit, as well as people driving, on the state routes it maintains.  

Maybe now the LB City Council Cabal will address the reality of this development and recognize the new mandate for CALTRANS to address a true multi-modal Laguna Canyon Road without the red-herrings.

LCR Power Utilities Undergrounding Money Spent

These charts show the project expenditure for Laguna Canyon Road power utility undergrounding from 2007 to 2024. These amounts are drawn from the LB Public Works (PW) Utility Undergrounding Division Summary found in the respective LB Fiscal Year City Budget. 

 

The Laguna Beach Public Works Department supports 3 full-time staff positions since 2017.  These expenditures occurred prior to the proposed Protect and Connect construction start date.

Since the introduction of Complete Streets Policy to Laguna Beach in 2008, the city nor LB Public Works has found the resources to place a bicycle rack in front of LB City Hall. That's 16-years since introduction.
