Open House Series to Focus on Freeway Project
To better inform businesses and residents about construction along the Santa Ana Freeway, the California Department of Transportation will host a series of open houses beginning Thursday.
Caltrans spokeswoman Rose Orem said the meetings will allow people to ask staff questions about the project and give officials a forum to explain graffiti removal strategy.
The five-year, $600-million freeway widening project between the Garden Grove and Orange freeways interchange and Beach Boulevard will be done in five segments. At the meetings, displays, maps and videos will highlight each specific work area. Project funding comes from the Measure M half-cent sales tax.
The first meeting, highlighting the area between Haster Street and Broadway, will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the second-floor conference room of Anaheim City Hall West, 201 S. Anaheim Blvd.
On June 15, from 6 to 9 p.m., the meeting will focus on the section between the Garden Grove Freeway and half a mile north of Haster Street. It will be at the Orange Main Library, 101 N. Center St.
The meeting from 6 to 9 p.m. June 17 will focus on the area a half mile north of La Palma Avenue to Beach Boulevard. It will be at the Buena Park Community Center, 8150 Knott Ave.
For the area a half mile south of Crescent Avenue to a half mile north of La Palma Avenue, a meeting will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. June 22 in the second-floor conference room at Anaheim City Hall West.
The last meeting will cover the area between Broadway and Crescent Avenue. It is scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m. June 24, also at Anahein City Hall West.
