My name is Jeff Ginsburg and I am the current President of the Riviera Village Association; I tried sending this eComment for last week's meeting but my internet was not working well so apologize for the delay. Last week I wanted to say that the RVA greatly appreciates all the support the Mayor, City Council Members and City Staff have had in assisting us with the Outdoor Dining Parklets & Sidewalk Sale in Riviera Village during these unique times with COVID-19. The 50k of funds the Mayor/City Council allocated to the Riviera Village's parklets & Hydrology Study to keep parklets in place during the upcoming winter months was a very welcome surprise as well as the bike racks to help visitors to the Riviera Village have an alternative to driving their cars which will make demands for parking easier for everybody! The RVA continues to get frequent positive comments from business owners and visitors in the Riviera Village therefore once the Hydrology Study is completed the RVA is hopeful the Special Event Permit can be extended through at least 03/31/2021 as we heard Manhattan Beach extended their to as well. Planning ahead with approvals for this will give the RVA and City Staff the time needed to make any adjustments to the parklets for the winter season which will be upon us within a few months. Please let us know anything the RVA can do to assist with this as our goal is for the Riviera Village to safely make it through COVID-19 as problem-free as possible. Thank you again for all of your support :)
