Los Alamitos Traffic Circle

[Max Rockatansky]

Does anyone have any source materials pertaining to the construction of Los Alamitos Traffic Circle in Long Beach.  As far as I can tell there is nothing in the CHPW for when the Circle was built.  I can't find much of anything else aside from an LA Times article stating the Circle was completed in 1932.  I tried some obvious sources like the Library of Congress but didn't come up with anything.

The June 1942 CHPW states that the circle was built in 1934, but what I recall reading somewhere else (maybe that same LA Times article) was it was done in 1932 in time for the Olympics.

Somewhere I have a bunch of random stuff I scanned from archives at the Long Beach Public Library. Let me do some digging.

That might make sense, the approach to State is shown as not existing on the 1934 DOH Map Insert.  The connecting road does appear on the 1935 DOH Map of Los Angeles along with the 1936-37 edition City Insert.  That would mean Los Alamitos Circle was a DOH built project and would have come after the Belmont Traffic Circle in Fresno.
