Emergency repairs to the storm drain system along Oak Park Boulevard and El Camino Real are underway. For public safety, a semi-permanent lane closure has been established to direct traffic away from the area.
During the rain event at the end of December 2019, Public Works crews responded to flooding on El Camino Real east of Oak Park Boulevard. Investigations revealed the flooding was caused by storm drain system failures along Oak Park Boulevard and El Camino Real. These failures have caused substantial soil and debris deposits in the storm drain pipes and box culvert, and have created a large void surrounding a manhole on Oak Park Boulevard at El Camino Real. On January 14, 2020, the Council established an emergency repair project for the storm drain system on Oak Park Boulevard at El Camino Real.
