BUENA PARK : City to Pay County in Full for Dale St. Parcel
The City Council agree to send a $420,000 check to the county for a property needed to begin work on realigning Dale Street.
The $9.8-million project will align Dale Street, which currently dead-ends at Malvern Avenue, with Burlingame Avenue. When the project is completed, motorists driving north on Dale will cross a new railroad underpass and then drive across Malvern directly onto Burlingame. Work is expected to begin in June.
The project was approved over the objection of neighbors in January, 1994, but city officials spent 10 months cementing a deal with the Orange County Flood Control District for 70,000 square feet of land on the west side of Dale.
Council members agreed to take $500,000 from the city’s Measure M gas-tax fund for the land and other right-of-way costs for the project.
