Strand to Get $700,000 Worth of Refurbishing
The city plans to spend $700,000 to refurbish the Strand, replacing corroded light fixtures and poles, cracked sidewalks and damaged retaining walls and drains.
Public works Director Neil Miller said the first priority will be to remove the 30-year-old lighting fixtures on the two-mile beach path that runs through Manhattan Beach. He said that 80% of the 136 fixtures and poles have suffered from weather damage over the years.
Miller said structural problems in drains under the Strand and retaining walls along it are the second priority. The sidewalks will be repaired last.
“The Strand will pretty much look the same when it’s done, But all the problems will be corrected,” Miller said.
