Clearwater Project Update

The First 350 Feet of Tunnel

In October, Rachel, our tunnel boring machine (TBM), began boring, stopping every five feet to construct a ring of tunnel wall. About 350 feet of tunnel has been completed, and the pace is expected to pick up once the supporting "trailing gear" (over two football fields long) has been lowered into the access shaft at our Joint Water Pollution Control Plant and connected to the TBM. We expect Rachel to reach Figueroa Street in the first half of 2022. Overall, she will take almost 4 years to build a 7-mile tunnel between the treatment plant in Carson and Royal Palms Beach.

A network of monitoring devices has also been installed along the tunnel alignment that detects small amounts of movement and vibration. These devices help to ensure residents and businesses at the surface are not impacted. In November, the installation of monitoring equipment along Gaffey Street was completed. Equipment on Figueroa Street was installed earlier this year.

Awareness and Engagement Survey

The City of Los Angeles Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is partnering with EVITARUS, a leading Los Angeles research firm to conduct a Citywide awareness survey. Responses from residents in your area have been lower than they have been in other parts of the City; so we hope that you will consider participating.

The survey will only take about 5 minutes to complete. Please consider responding today as the response period will end on Monday, December 20, 2021.

The purpose of this survey is to understand community awareness of the City of Los Angeles (LA) Neighborhood Council system. The survey also seeks to learn about your understanding of the opportunities available to Angelenos to participate in City decision making by participating in their Neighborhood Council.

LA’s 99 Neighborhood Councils together form the grassroots level of community engagement in Los Angeles City government. Your feedback is important in helping us determine how to better serve city residents.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact (213) 978-1551 or email us at empowerla@lacity.org.

Follow the link to the Survey at the bottom of this message to begin the survey.

Calif Re-districting - There's Still Time to Provide Input

The California Citizens Redistricting Commissioners reports that the map iterations have morphed daily and will continue to do so. They urge you to continue to check their website and join meetings to follow the process as it plays out.

What’s next? The Commission intends to finish all maps on December 20, 2021, then letting the maps sit for three days for public review as is required by law. They hope to formally approve the maps on December 26, 2021 and deliver the maps to the Secretary of State (SoS) on December 27, 2021. The maps are enacted at the time the Commission certifies them to the SoS, but they would not become effective until after the 90-day referendum period. The Constitution also takes into consideration a 45-day period in which the maps could be legally challenged.

Visit the CCRC website to view the maps and to find upcoming meeting info.
