Area 5 Road Maintenance Project —AE/Beshay—The project is currently in the design phase and due to be completed by the end of March with construction to commence in June. G. Lemon Avenue Interchange Project—SCE/Young-This project continues to move forward somewhat behind schedule due to rain. At the end of March/beginning of April, the contractorwill need to impose a full road closure to complete storm drain work on Lemon Avenue which will be conditioned to be done overnight Friday into Saturday or Saturday night into Sunday. Staff will notify affected residents and businesses accordingly. The project is expected to be completed by next summer. H. SR -57/60 Confluence Project — SCE/Young — It is expected that the westbound onramp along Grand Avenue portion will be completed by this summer. The next major portion of the project is to build a large retaining wall along the vacant portion behind the former Honda/Burger King property. The westbound off ramp portion of the project continues with demolition of portions of the wall along the existing westbound off ramp at Grand Avenue. Grand/Golden Springs Intersection Improvements Update— SCE/Young— During last week's Project Team Development meeting the designer (WKE) submitted their 90 percent plans which are currently in plan check. The landscape design process continues and the need to acquire additional right- of-way from the golf course to accommodate the widening of the intersection has delayed the project slightly while negotiations with LA County proceed. The project design is scheduled to be completed by October at which time the project will go out to bid for award of contract for construction by December. Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) — (Armitos Place Neighborhood) SCE/Young — No additional update. Staff continues to wait for team captains to submit signatures for the petitions for staff to proceed with plans and specs. (Crooked Creek Drive) AE/Malpica — The next Neighborhood meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Windmill Room. Commissioners are invited to join in the meeting to discuss the preliminary design. K. Morning Canyon Road Rehabilitation Project — SCE/Young — Bids were opened and based on the review, the contract will be awarded in the amount of just over $380,000. Staff plans to go to Council on April 4 for contract award with construction to proceed shortly thereafter. L. Diamond Bar Boulevard/Maple Hill Road Median Modification Project — SCE/Young — The pre -construction meeting was held last week and staff expects construction to begin next week. This project will prohibit left -turns in both directions from Diamond Bar Boulevard onto Maple Hill Road and the MARCH 9, 2017 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION condo/apartment complex driveway for the duration of construction which is anticipated to take about three weeks.

Diamond Bar Ranch Shopping Center (Old Kmart) — Development Update — SCENoung — The contractor began demolishing the parking lot and will be re -grading within the next few weeks. The contractor is working feverishly to pull necessary permits for the new buildings. Construction fencing has been in place for a few weeks and has deterred the concern about large semi -truck parking. The entire site cannot be fenced off because access to neighboring businesses south and to McDonald's must be preserved. VI. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As indicated in the agenda.
