A New Left Turn Signal at Sunset and Mandeville

Last week city officials and community members joined me for a dedication ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Sunset Boulevard and Mandeville Canyon Road Street Improvement Project.

These improvements will relieve traffic congestion, improve public safety, and beautify a major intersection on the Westside.

A big thanks to all of the public works staff who worked on this project and to the community members who participated in the process as well.
