During construction at 1300 Parkview Avenue, residents can expect a heavy presence of construction vehicles and equipment during work hours. Additionally, work will require excavation adjacent to the entrance and involves expansion of the existing driveway apron, so the roadway surface may be uneven at times. Additional updates will be provided to affected residents during the course of construction, and the City will make every effort to keep inconveniences to a minimum.
The City of Manhattan Beach is a participant in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). The Los Angeles Urban County CDBG Program is administered by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), which acts as the administrative pass-through agency for CDBG funds allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On June 4, 2014, the City entered into a Participating City Cooperation Agreement with LACDA for a three-year funding cycle beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2018. Automatic amendments thereafter to the Cooperation Agreement authorized the City’s continued participation in the Urban County CDBG Program. On August 7, 2018, the City Council authorized expenditure of CDBG funds for the Manhattan Village Senior Villas Americans with Disabilities Act-Compliant (ADA) Pathway Project, consistent with the City’s approved 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan. The project will create an accessible path of travel pedestrians in compliance with ADA standards.
In 2019, the City of Manhattan Beach completed an update to the ADA Transition Plan (as required by law) which identifies existing obstacles limiting accessibility and describes the steps that are being or will be taken to ensure that City facilities, including those within the public rights-of-way, are made accessible to all individuals. At the entrance to Manhattan Village Field and Senior Villas on Parkview Ave, the ADA transition plan identified that currently there is no compliant accessible route from the public right of way to the accessible entrance of the facility and recommends providing at least one accessible route from the public right of way to the accessible entrance of the facility.
To ensure safe passageway for pedestrians, the proposed project will create a designated accessible route between the Metro Bus Stop on Parkview Avenue, the Manhattan Village Senior Villas and the Manhattan Village Public Park. The proposed project eliminates potential conflict points between motorized and non-motorized users, by creating physical separation between motorized and non-motorized users and creates an accessible route to the public sidewalk and Metro Bus Stop on Parkview Ave. The project also enhances access to surrounding community destinations including Manhattan Senior Villas, Village Athletic Fields and Public Park. The new ADA pathway will provide a dedicated space for people to walk outside of the vehicular travel ways. By providing a physically separated ADA compliant pedestrian route, potential negative impacts to pedestrian travel is significantly reduced or eliminated.
The project design plans were completed in July 2021. This improvement includes:
Installation of a switchback ADA ramp, bioswale, pedestrian lighting improvements, restriping to provide additional ADA parking spaces, and improve the driveway apron and crossing to provide ADA pathway for pedestrians leading from the Manhattan Village Public Park and Senior Villas to the Metro Bus Stop and public sidewalk on Parkview Avenue.
