Deadlock Eases on Inter-County Road Link Plans
Orange and Los Angeles counties, meeting as the Inter-County Highway Committee, signaled progress Friday on extending Katella Avenue to Willow Street and linking Westminster Avenue to Second Street. Orange County would not commit to Atherton Street eastward extension, while Los Angeles demands it as part of any priority. Willis Warner, OC supervisor chairman, said Atherton could be connected via Rossmoor, with a hoped Jan 2 agreement with developers, though OC won't place Atherton in its arterial plan. The debate included potential bottleneck widening between Cerritos and Spring streets to ease congestion, with 28,000 cars daily on the two-lane Los Coyotes Creek bridge.
