Staff Report – Project Change Order No. 14-1137-2.01 to the Woodruff Avenue TSSP Project
April 27, 2026
DISCUSSION
In May 2024, the City entered into a cooperative agreement with the County of Los Angeles for the implementation of Traffic Signal Syncronization Program (TSSP) for Woodruff Avenue. The County project spans the entire length of Woodruff Avenue from Firestone Boulevard in Downey to Willow Street in Long Beach and the costs for the proposed improvements are jurisdictionally shared between the cities of Downey, Bellflower, Lakewood, Long Beach and Los Angeles County.
The City received the final project design in October 2025. The design did not include protected left turn signals at Woodruff Avenue and Somerset Boulevard. Based on the high volume of traffic collisions at this intersection in recent years, coupled with the close proximity to Bellflower High School, the City requested a design modification to include protected left turn signals at this location to improve overall traffic operations and pedestrian safety.
The County reviewed traffic collision data provided by the City and agreed to incorporate our request into the project design. Since the City’s request is outside the scope of the original design, the City is soley responsible for costs associated with the project modification. Subsequently, the County and the awarded contractor have submitted Change Order No. 14-1137-2.01 to the City for approval to incorporate the City’s requested design changes.
The County estimates that the project will start sometime this summer, however a project construction schedule has not been provided to date. When the final construction schedule is received, Public Works staff will notify the City Council.
