The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) is currently
constructing a bridge that will allow 25th Street to travel over the
corridor just east of Alameda Street. A temporary bypass roadway was
constructed to allow traffic to travel around the construction site.
The City has been advised that the temporary bypass must be closed for
the completion of the construction. It is estimated that 25th Street
will be closed for approximately three (3) weeks; however, local
traffic will be allowed to utilize 25th Street, all other traffic will
be detoured to 37th Street.
In accordance with Section 22.100 of the Vernon Municipal Code
requires authorization from the Vernon City Council to allow any
street to be temporarily closed for more than 48 hours. It is hereby
recommended that authorization be granted for the closure of 25th
Street for the completion of the 25th Street bridge over the corridor.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator
FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson, Director of Community Services & Water
DATE: May 31, 2001
SUBJECT: STREET CLOSURE
The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) is currently constructing a
bridge that will allow 25' Street to travel over the corridor just east of Alameda Street. ACTA's
contractor has constructed a temporary bypass roadway to allow traffic to travel around the
construction site. ACTA has now advised the City that the temporary roadway must be closed in
order to allow the contractor to complete the utility relocations and to complete the roadway
improvements. They estimate that 25`h Street will be required to be completely closed for
approximately 3 weeks. The Vernon-ACTA Memorandum of Understanding does not allow the
complete closure of 25t` Street. ACTA's contractor proposes to allow local traffic to utilize 25''
Street. All other traffic will be detoured to 37`h Street.
I am of the opinion that 25' Street must be closed in order to complete the construction
unless additional private property is taken for construction easements.
Section 22.100 of the Vernon Municipal Code requires authorization from the Vernon
City Council to allow any street to be temporarily closed for more than 48 hours.
It is recommended that the Vernon City Council authorize ACTA's closure of 256' Street
for the completion of the 25"' Street bridge over the corridor.

The City Attorney's office will prepare a resolution on this matter.
