x Other __________________________________________________ The County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors (DBH) is proposing an emergency project at the Upper Redondo Beach Walkway (upper walkway) located between George Freeth Way and Knob Hill in Redondo Beach. The County completed a geotechnical assessment of the upper walkway that found significant cracking and pavement distress and recommended that the walkway be repaired including guardrail replacement and striping. Per the geotechnical assessment, the primary cause of the observed walkway asphalt pavement distress appears to be uncontrolled surface runoff which has caused erosion and loss of subgrade support at the seaward edge of the walkway pavement. The upper walkway extends roughly 2,600 feet from George Freeth Way, on the north, to a stair-way connection at Knob Hill Avenue on the south. The walkway borders single and multi-family dwellings to the east, and a slope that descends to the lower beach walkway to the west. The elevation of the upper walkway ranges from approximately +55 to +30 feet. The descending slope to the west ranges in height from approximately 10 to 35 feet and has a gradient of approximately 1.5(H):1(V).
The project scope will consist of removing and replacing approximately 400 linear feet of damaged asphalt pavement walkway. Work will include saw cutting the inside edge of the damaged asphalt pavement along the existing retaining wall for the pavement replacement, excavating and removing 3 feet of unsuitable soil material for preparation of the subgrade to receive the new asphalt pavement surface, and removing and replacing the existing catch basin and damaged underground 10-inch storm drainpipe that runs underneath and crosses the asphalt pavement walkway at two locations. The new walkway pavement and storm drainpipe shall be installed over clean imported subgrade sand and gravel material and geotextile fabric. The project would also include removing and reconstructing approximately 400 linear feet of damaged 24-inch-deep reinforced concrete retaining curb at the outer edge of the walkway. Work will also include grading the bottom of the concrete retaining curb to obtain a one-to-one slope along the hillside and providing and installing rip rap and grout at the graded area to stabilize the hillside. The contractor would also modify and cap irrigation piping adjacent to area of work as necessary. The walkway replacement project will temporarily reduce access along the upper walkway between Topaz Street and Knob Hill. However, there are alternate accessway ramps to the south of the project site leading to the lower walkway and the beach.
On February 14, 2023, the City of Redondo Beach issued an emergency coastal development permit (CDP-2023-03) for the aforementioned project, which is set to expire on April 15, 2023. DBH is requesting an extension of the emergency permit to allow for more time to complete the project. Construction began on February 28, 2023 and is expected to end by June 15, 2023. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Porsche Nauls at [email protected] or (424) 526-7755.
