I think we all share your frustration. We had an opportunity to finally repair all of El Segundo Boulevard and
reinforce it for the heavy truck usage heading eastbound - and we were able to do it entirely with taxes paid to the
state and county, and not touch the general fund. This came with a project risk: it's done in two large chunks, east
and west. The eastern half, from Illinois to Isis, is laden with signals synced together (which includes lights on
Grand/PCH Grand/Nash). The PCH lights which anchor the programming are synced by CalTrans.
It's exasperating, we are working on it quickly, and hope to be able to activate the programming before the project
is complete. It drives me crazy too.

resources.
