Bill > AB1168

This bill addresses a specific property transaction between the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Lynwood involving a parcel located at the corner of Imperial Highway and Fernwood Avenue. In 2016, Caltrans transferred this property to the city with a deed restriction requiring a portion of the land (known as the Alameda triangle property) to be used exclusively for public purposes for 15 years. The bill mandates that Caltrans release and remove this deed restriction before the 15-year period expires. The Legislature specifically notes that this is a special statute necessary due to the unique nature of this particular property in Los Angeles County. While the bill also includes some technical amendments to vehicle code sections related to speed contests, the primary focus is on removing the land use restriction for the Lynwood property, effectively giving the city more flexibility in how it can use this specific parcel of land that was previously transferred from the state transportation department.
