FREEWAY RAMP PROJECT

The City Council approved an amendment to an agreement with

CalTrans in connection with the Ventura (134) Freeway westbound ramp

project.

WHAT IT MEANS

The amended agreement will have the city picking up the cost of

soil testing for property CalTrans will use for easements during

construction of the new on-ramp from Hollywood Way. In exchange for

that work CalTrans agreed to widen the south side of Alameda Avenue

between Hollywood Way and the new on-ramp to create an additional

lane allowing for a free flow of traffic onto the ramp.
