I think this is a phenomenal idea moving forward and commend The planning Director for doing a great job. I would encourage the council and Staff to consider rezoning laws, particularly so that we should encourage pedestrian culture. A restaurant shouldn't have any need to consider 57 parking spots. especially if we are producing a move forward for a trolley. Furthermore, to the mayors point for a BID a great idea but we don't have the affluence in north Redondo that south Redondo has, namely.. the quality of restaurants is mainly because of the number of restaurants that are there. hence why reconsidering changing the zoning charter to bypass the parking requirements for it. We can certainly have the BID, but the pay threshold doesn't hold out, because that burden is placed on the business that cannot afford the buy-in.... expand the opportunity for restaurants by rezoning, similarly to the beauty colleges, etc. I can assist in the ART and culture by providing writing grants for the council for arts but as mentioned its ultimately expanding the businesses.... it comes back to how to do we pay for it.... but totally in support and after 30 yrs of living here. I am glad to see the focus on North Redondo... Vote no on prop 15. and encourage Blight fees.
I would like to see safe bike lanes in the Artesia and Aviation corridor. Electric bicycles are gaining popularity and we need to invest in infrastructure to increase safety for electric and non electric bicycles.
I am also for the re-purposing of parking lots to outdoor dinning and the street-lets.
