Fourth District City Councilman Patrick O'Donnell will have his monthly "Chat with Pat" community meeting Wednesday from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Los Altos Library, 5614 Britton.
The meeting will feature a presentation by the Orange County Transportation Authority on the proposed West County Connectors Project, an improvement project to add carpool lanes at the connection of the San Diego (405) Freeway, CA-22 Freeway and the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway. The project will require a year-long closure of the 7th Street bridge. Representatives of OCTA will be at the meeting to discuss the proposed construction schedule and detours, which will affect the local area.
If you live on the Eastside or often use 7th Street to get to and from the area freeways (as I do), this may be an important meeting to attend.
