Los Angeles County supervisors have approved a $2.7 million construction contract to seismically retrofit the Sixth Street off-ramp over Shoreline Drive.

The $2,708,671 project is a part of the federal Highway Bridge Program, which funds 88.53 percent of the costs. The remaining 11.47 percent of the cost of the project will be financed with state Proposition 1 B funds.

Additional funding was provided by the Fourth Supervisorial District's Road Construction Program.

"By retrofitting this bridge, both the drivers and pedestrians who use the bridge will benefit by crossing a safer bridge," said Supervisor Don Knabe in a prepared statement.

Construction should begin in December, and the estimated completion dated is July 2009.

Some 300 campers and 125 volunteers should be getting a break on parking fees.
They'll be attending Camp del Corazon, a medically supervised summer camp located in Catalina Island for children with congenital heart disease.
The non-profit organization provides all services to the children free of charge, since many of the families bear high medical care costs.
While Camp del Corazon will be hosting the campers and  volunteers from Aug. 25 through Sept. 2, they will need to leave an estimated 60 vehicles near the boat launching location.
Camp del Corazon is requesting a fee waiver of the $5 daily parking fee -- a request that 4th District Supervisor Don Knabe plans to seek Tuesday, Aug. 12. from the Department of Beaches and Harbors. The total amount of the fee waiver is $3,000.
