Report Ordered on Via Colinita Plan
- Share via
Residents of an Eastview neighborhood complained to the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on Tuesday that thousands of drivers are using their once quiet streets every day as a shortcut between Miraleste Drive and Western Avenue.
The council voted unanimously to begin an environmental assessment in preparation for turning a short stretch of Via Colinita into a one-way, westbound street between Enrose Avenue and Miraleste Drive.
Residents of the neighborhood, who filled council chambers, said their streets had become thoroughfares used by 5,600 cars per day, a figure verified by the city.
The environmental assessment, which is required by state law, will take six to eight weeks to complete. If the report findings favor the change, the council can certify the assessment and approve the change.
If Via Colinita becomes a one-way street, commuters will have to use 1st or 9th streets between Miraleste and Western.
