ROBERTA SCHILLER REPORTS
Roberta Schiller is on the Board of the Mar Vista Community Council.
She writes on the Web site of the Westside Village Civic Assn., a homeowners group:
1. This project is on the books to go forward. It is federally funded and is scheduled to begin at the end of 2007 and end in 2009.
2. In the beginning, the work will be from underneath and will not affect traffic flow on the bridge. However, after about three to four months, there will be one lane closed in each direction during "non-peak hours" (9:30 to 3:30).
3. The staging area (where trucks and equipment stay when not in use) will be on areas not affecting traffic on the on-ramp/off-ramp areas of the freeway.
4. The final goal is to unclog the congestion so that traffic can flow smoothly onto the freeway in both directions -- for the next 20 years.
