The Long Beach Redevelopment Agency, City Councilman
Dee Andrews and about 200 Poly High School students and administrators
will celebrate the improvements of a once blight intersection and launch neighborhood clean-up efforts on National Make A Difference Day.
The event will be at 8 a.m. on Saturday Oct. 24 at the southeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway.
According to the city press release:
The RDA removed a blighted commercial property to clear land for open space to serve as a gateway for Poly High School. The space incorporates sustainable principles such as the use of native landscaping and recycled concrete, and new trees. A right turn lane was created to alleviate traffic congestion at this busy intersection, and a staff parking lot was improved. Additionally, fence fabric was installed across the street as part of the RDA's Screening Project.
