Laguna Hills : City Budget Includes Many Improvements
- Share via
About $7.7 million will be spent to spruce up the city under a two-year budget approved by the City Council this week.
The capital improvement fund will pay for neighborhood park development, improved recreation programs and a community center for the 4-year-old city.
“The county left us pretty bare” of public facilities, Councilwoman Cindy Greengold said. “And that’s why we became incorporated. . . . Now we’re bearing the fruits of being independent.”
About $1.2 million is designated in the budget to begin planning for the community center, to be built on an 18-acre site at Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia. The center is to be completed in phases by fiscal 1999-2000.
Major renovations for two major intersections along Moulton Parkway will cost $2.85 million.
At the Alicia Parkway and La Paz Road intersections, the city will be improving traffic flow along the major thoroughfare by adding travel lanes, turn lanes and installing signal modifications.
