As the Santa Monica Boulevard Reconstruction Project enters its final phase of construction, the third and final major intersection on the east side along Santa Monica Boulevard in the City of West Hollywood will undergo construction and temporary partial street closures through April 2001. Construction is expected to last four to five weeks. During the partial closure, construction crews will work to remove railroad tracks from an old trolley line underneath the road surface, install underground utilities including telecommunications conduits and repave the roadway surface. In addition, no left turns will be permitted onto La Brea Avenue from Santa Monica Boulevard. Detours will be provided in the area and the City is working with the MTA to create alternate bus routes.
Admission is free.
More than 25 informational booths will offer everything from dental care to free fingerprinting and immunizations. The Kids' Fair is sponsored by the City of West Hollywood with support from the California Department of Health Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Parking will be available at the Pacific Design Center located across the street from West Hollywood Park at 8687 Melrose Avenue. The deadline for entries is Saturday, April 14, 2001. The West Hollywood City Council has proclaimed April as Earthquake Awareness Month and the City's Public Safety Division is coordinating events and training seminars designed to educate the public about what to do before, during and after an earthquake.
