Recommendation to direct City Manager and all appropriate departments to seek approval, access and reimbursement from Caltrans and all other appropriate agencies so that the City can perform needed maintenance and clean-up of these areas in the most efficient, cost effective, and expeditious way possible.
Hello. My name is Elizabeth Magnuson. The freeway intersection at Willow and Lakewood serves thousands of residents and serves the Long Beach Airport. This intersection is currently the worst reflection of Long Beach. It is unsafe to use the crosswalk and drive around with debris of trash overflowing onto the onramp and off ramp and onto the street. The city must take actions not just at this intersection, but at every intersection, and Caltrans must be aware of this cleanup crisis and held accountable. I applaud Councilwoman Stacey Mungle, who is in touch with the community and gave an update on her newsletter. I support this recommendation that trash needs to be cleaned up regularly and care needs to be taken before it turns into a crisis. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes public comment for the. Council on Mango. Thank you. I drafted and brought forward this item because on a continuous basis, the requirements related to Caltrans, they just keep not coming forward or city manager has done everything that he can and that is the power, including several meetings of managers all over the region. And we have to come up with a solution. They will not clean it up. We must clean it up. And they must provide the means to to reimburse us. So thank you to all the staff for contributing on this. I think it's critical for our communities and neighborhoods to stay safe. Q Thank you. I need a second on that, please. May I give you. My okay second by Councilman Ringo. Roll call vote.
