Caltrans Maintenance Update
Yesterday, Caltrans District 7 conducted a clean up at the I-118 WB Freeway onramp at San Fernando Road in Pacoima.
In total, over 600 cubic yards of waste were removed from this area. Services and housing were offered to encampment residents thanks to Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Caltrans has a significant backlog as a result of their pausing cleanups over the last two years due to COVID-19.
We need to make sure the 39th Assembly District receives its fair share of the California Beautification funds to continue to invest in our communities, and I’m committed to fighting for more investments like these at the state level.
Our district is not a dumping ground and I look forward to continuing our city and state partnerships to push for change.
I recently held a town hall on homelessness that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5nIUfAAlhM and encourage you to contact my office about waste and debris on state property so we can initiate the cleanup process with Caltrans, CHP, and local assistance providers.
A special thanks to my staff for being on site last month, and for maintaining pressure to ensure this site was completely cleaned up.
