Long Beach City Council Demands Answers on Delayed Colorado Lagoon Project
The Long Beach City Council is seeking clarification on the ongoing Colorado Lagoon project, which has encountered numerous delays and cost overruns. Initially budgeted at $32 million and set to complete by March 2024, the project has now surpassed its budget by at least $4 million and is behind schedule due to heavy rains, unexpected utility lines, and asbestos discoveries. The project has caused significant disruptions for drivers in East Long Beach, with detours and closures lasting for months. Councilmember Kristina Duggan, who represents the affected neighborhoods, has expressed concern over the extended roadblocks and their impact on public trust in the citys project timelines. Despite recent progress in completing a sewer siphon and starting a new sewer airline installation, street reopenings are not expected until summer. The council is demanding a solid end date for the project to restore tidal flow and improve the estuarys health.
