State controlled Los Angeles city streets

Do you know which streets are controlled by Caltrans but appear to be City Streets in the City of Los Angeles? There is a question of responsibility for street repair on Gaffey Street in San Pedro. Since it is the terminus of the 110, there was some question as to who is responsible. In this case, Gaffey was once part of the 110 state highway, but it is now a City Street and therefore the the responsibility of the City. (To get the street repaired, here's the process.)

So, which streets are under the state's control and not the City's? Here's the list:
Topanga Canyon from the 118 south to the LA City limits: Route 27

Santa Monica, Glendale Boulevard and various other connecting streets: Route 2

Manchester Boulevard: Route 42 (NOTE: there is still some debate as to whether or not Route 42 has been fully relinquished - officially - to the City.)

Lincoln Boulevard: Route 1

Venice Boulevard from Lincoln to the 10: State Route 187

Western Ave in San Pedro: Route 213

Gaffey St. in San Pedro was once a state highway down to about 22nd St.

The lower part of the Long Beach Freeway is/was actually not a state highway but owned by the city of Long Beach

How about Lincoln at Manchester? Caltrans is doing work over there so does that mean it's still state controlled?
