Council Approves Report on New Police Building

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Paving the way for the new Police Department headquarters, the City Council on Friday approved the project’s final environmental report by a vote of 10 to 0.

The $341-million building will be across 1st Street from City Hall on a block bounded by The Times, the new Caltrans headquarters and the residential Higgins Building.

Downtown residents told the council that the site should be a park, as was originally planned by the city.
