SHERMAN OAKS : Road Repair Project Receives Approval
Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved spending as much as $115,000 to repair and improve roads in Sherman Oaks.
Supervisor Ed Edelman said the road project will repair areas of roads damaged by trench settlement after construction of a county storm drain project. Trench settlement occurs when a road is paved over a flood control drainpipe, and the soil under the road compacts and potholes form. To repair the potholes, the pavement will be dug up and another roadbed installed.
Edelman said the work will concentrate on Valley Vista Boulevard between Sutton Place and Stone Canyon Avenue, Sutton Street between Kester and Cedros avenues, and Noble Avenue between Greenleaf and Sutton streets.
The monthlong project, to be administered by the county Department of Public Works, is scheduled to begin in April. Public works officials said the repairs will reduce traffic on Valley Vista Boulevard, Sutton Street and Noble Avenue to one lane during daytime hours.
