Earlier this year, Whittier residents helped select the name of its newest park. Now, the city and developer of The Groves, formerly the site of the 73-acre, 128-year-old Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility are soliciting input for four of the new residential street names via an online vote.

The deadline for the online survey is Friday at https://www.surveymonkey.com.

The grand opening for the 561 for-sale homes and 189 apartments, 60 of which are for ages 55-plus, remains on target for April 18, said Dave Bartlett, vice president of land entitlements for Costa Mesa-based Brookfield Residential.

The property also will include 150,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, but this area isn’t scheduled to open until the following year.

Brookfield Residential purchased the former prison from the state for $42.5 million.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for our residents to participate in naming new streets,” Councilman Henry Bouchot said of the survey. “We want to share the opportunity to do that and partner with our residents.”

The developer has put forth 20 possible street names: Summerhouse, Blossom, Clementine, Hazel, Primrose, Wisteria, Sparrow, Mariposa. Skylark, Sandalwood, Flora, Jasmine. Starling, Via Del Huerto, Via De La Arboleda, Via Del Verano, Via De La Flor, Via Del Nieto, Via Del Pico and Dolores Drive.

Meanwhile, work continues on the site. Removal of soil containing arsenic, lead and pesticides is completed, and construction of sewer and water lines and storm drains has started, Bartlett said.

“We’re making really good progress,” he said.

The large mounds of dirt now on the site will be recycled and used for the new interior roads, Bartlett added.

Meanwhile, the City Council on Tuesday is expected to set a public hearing on Oct. 8 to establish a community facilities district, also known as a Mello-Roos district, that will tax the new homeowners.

Brookfield agreed to this when the City Council in June 2015 approved the development.

The district is expected to produce $530,000 a year. Adding that to increased property and sales taxes, the development is expected to contribute $1 million annually to the city, said Conal McNamara, director of community development.

“This will ensure the city has sufficient revenue to pay for the services we’ll need to provide, including roads, library, parks and recreation and police,” McNamara said.
