Existing ConditionsThe street is composed of two-10 foot travel lanes. The existing pavement is in poor condition with a pavement condition rating of 28. There is alligator cracking and potholes through the project corridor. The existing storm runoff ponds along the road and eventually infiltrates. Washington Avenue is a through-town alternative to Pacific Avenue. The Downtown Access/Circulation Improvements in the Long Beach Comprehensive Plan Update, 2026 (adopted in 2008) encourages alternative routes, other than Pacific Avenue be developed. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion and improve pedestrian and vehicle safety in the downtown core. |

The proposed project will reconstruct street to include two-22 ft. travel lanes bound by rolled cement concrete curbs. Gravel parking will be provided behind the curb, primarly on the west side of the street where parking currently exists. Stormwater will be collected and infiltrated adjacent to the street. The proposed pavement section is cement treated base with three inches of HMA. The pavement section will be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer during the design phase.
