Filed Under Community Bulletin Board, Community News, Local events, Los Al calendar, Your reporting & comments
(Los Alamitos, 2/21/2012) According to City Engineer Dave Hunt the lane closures on Katella should begin winding down this week (see “Katella update: The end is in sight!“). That’s the good news.
As long as you’re off the road between midnight and 5 a.m., the bad news isn’t all that bad: The southbound 405 will be closed from midnight to 5 AM tonight (actually Wednesday morning, 2/22) between the 605 and Valley View, and then Thursday 2/23 – Saturday early morning (midnight – 5 AM) from the 605 to Seal Beach/Los Al Blvd.

What’s happening in your world?
This is also a “your reporting” post for upcoming events and general community news, our weekly “Community Bulletin Board.”
Like last month, we moving this post forward near the start of each week, deleting comments about events that have passed.
What local events do you have to report? Or, what’s going on this month that Los Alamitos area residents might be interested in?
For starters, the annual Race on the Base is this Saturday!
There’s also a pretty good food truck line up for this Thursday.
What did I miss? Maybe it’s an activity of a group you’re involved with: school, club, church, business, the Base, the Chamber. Or a neighborhood block sale.
Just put up a brief description, with the 4 W’s: What, Where, When, and Who, plus any other info you’d like. We suggest using the title of the event as your “name,” then including your name in the announcement if you wish.
You’ll help our readers know what’s coming up, & help the group get the word out. Our comments become searchable on the web almost instantly, so it gives the event a greater online presence.
Here are the month’s remaining days City Hall’s closed:
Weekdays City Hall Closed:
- Alternating Fridays: February 24 & March 9
Now it’s your turn. Right now, or maybe next week. Or when you hear or see something going on. If you’ve got Community news, this is the place for it!

Burglary Report taken on Block of 12500 Silver Fox Road
Quick update, courtesy of City Engineer Dave Hunt:
The contractor finished the curb and gutter last week. He had to wait for his asphalt order. Should be here Thursday or Friday for paving.
Grinding of the “Keep Clear” on the eastbound side and Striping will take place at night to minimize traffic delays. This should only take one night, possibly Sunday, February 26, if everything falls into place.
A letter will go out to the Chestnut residents notifying them of possible noise caused by the nighttime work.
They are working on the interlocking pavers now.
Crews will close the northbound I-405 freeway between Seal Beach Boulevard and the I-605 freeway from 11 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 23 until 5 a.m., Friday, Feb. 24.
Crews will also close the southbound I-405 freeway (between the I-605 freeway and Seal Beach Boulevard) overnight on Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 25. This portion of the southbound I-405 freway will be closed from 11 p.m., Friday, Feb. 24 until 5 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 25 and from 11 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 25 until 5 a.m., Sunday, Feb. 26.
These nighttime closures are necessary in order to allow crews to remove the forms used during the recent stem and soffit concrete pour on the 7th Street bridge. Please note the northbound and southbound I-405 will never be closed simultaneously.
