Sidewalk Repair Program - Package No. 81

The Sidewalk Repair Program - Package No. 81 is a project managed by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering to repair existing sidewalks at twelve specific access request sites across Los Angeles. The primary objective is to remove Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access barriers as mandated by the Willits Settlement Agreement. The scope of work includes the removal of specific ADA barriers and adjacent work identified by residents with disabilities, ensuring all construction adheres to the ADA and applicable city standards. Notably, the project requires the removal of two street trees at 149 W 78th St and 151 W 78th St, which necessitates separate discretionary approval from the Board of Public Works or the Bureau of Street Services Urban Forestry Division. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 and Class 32 categorical exemptions, with approval granted on September 26, 2025. All work must be executed in accordance with the Los Angeles Municipal Code, Bureau of Engineering Standard Plans, the Greenbook for Public Works Construction, and the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook. The project serves the general public and local businesses, with the official notice of exemption filed on January 8, 2026, initiating a 35-day statute of limitations for legal challenges.
