Lampson street work to start

Beginning Monday, June 5 through September 2023, Lampson Avenue from Springdale Street to Lamplighter Street in Garden Grove will undergo a sewer improvement project causing temporary traffic delays. To facilitate construction work, eastbound Lampson Avenue will be closed, reducing traffic to one lane in both directions. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes to avoid congestion.

Access to residences and schools around the construction area will be maintained at all times.

Eastbound Lampson traffic will be detoured south at Springdale along Pacific Coast Highway. “I am pleased there are no barriers to the city immediately collecting the taxpayer money that was improperly denied by the state for many years,” said City Attorney Michael Gates, referring to “a win for the city that most said before was improbable.”

Applications for park grants are approved

Resolutions to apply for a grant for improving Stanton Central Park and the Dotson Park Splash Pad were approved at Tuesday’s meeting of the Stanton City Council. The vote was 5-0.

According to estimates, $450,000 will be required to complete the renovation of the tennis courts and address concerns with existing infrastructure surrounding the courts in Central Park. Another $425,000 will be required to complete the replacement of the splash pad at Dotson Park. The grant funding requires that applicants match with 50 percent of the cost of the project, meaning that Stanton would need to provide $437,500. That much is available from the general fund, park in-lieu fees fund or the American Rescue Plan Fund.
