[H. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

THIS SECTION IS LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES. EACH SPEAKER WILL BE AFFORDED THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.

EACH SPEAKER WILL BE PERMITTED TO SPEAK ONLY ONCE.

WRITTEN REQUESTS, IF ANY, WILL BE CONSIDERED FIRST UNDER THIS SECTION.

THERE IS ONE CARD. LAURA MCMAHON. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION. MY NAME IS LAURA MCMAHON.

I'M A RESIDENT OF REDONDO BEACH. I'M ALSO THE FOUNDER OF CITIZENS FOR REDONDO TREES, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PUSHED FOR THE 2022 TREE ORDINANCE THAT THE CITY PRESENTLY HAS.

I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW A LITTLE BACKGROUND. I WAS UNFORTUNATELY NOT ABLE TO BE AT THE LAST MEETING WHERE TREES STRATEGIC GOAL WAS 48 WAS DISCUSSED.

[00:05:05]

TREE CONVERSATION IN 2021-22 WAS NOT THE FIRST.

THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS. PREVIOUSLY, IN 2008, THERE WAS A GREEN TEAM, AND THEY HAD PROPOSED THAT THERE BE A TREE ORDINANCE AS WELL AS A THOROUGH WEBSITE WITH INFORMATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THEN, BUT IT DIDN'T MATERIALIZE.

I'M HERE TODAY TO SAY NOW IS THE TIME. NOT TOMORROW, NOT NEXT YEAR.

TODAY, THE CITY, OR SOON, IF NOT LITERALLY TODAY.

IT'S A QUESTION ABOUT OUR VALUES. DO WE VALUE URBAN WILDLIFE? DO WE VALUE SUSTAINABILITY? DO WE VALUE BEAUTIFUL STREETS AND WHAT MAY BE FOREIGN TO OUR CITY? WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME FRAME OF REFERENCE THAT OTHERS, BUT I HAVE WORKED FOR MUNICIPALITIES WHERE WE HAVE THINGS LIKE CURRENT IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BOOK, WHERE WE HAVE TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT, BUT PROPERTY OWNERS ARE FOR A MOMENT OF TIME, NOT A PERPETUITY, AND CERTAINLY USUALLY NOT AS LONG AS THE LIFE OF A TREE.

WE HAVE AN AGING TREE CANOPY POPULATION, AND SO MANY OF THEM HAVE MORE LIFE BEHIND THEM THAN AHEAD OF THEM.

SO THAT IS SO IMPORTANT WHY, AS THIS MATTER COMES BACK BEFORE THIS COMMISSION IN THE FUTURE, WE DO THIS TODAY. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THERE TO BE CLEAR ORDINANCES FOR TRANSPARENCY REASONS.

AND I ASK THAT ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED FOLLOW US CITIZENS FOR REDONDO TREES ON FACEBOOK OR INSTAGRAM AND OR EMAIL REDONDO. NUMBER FOUR TREESREDONDO4TREES@GMAIL.ORG.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. THANK YOU LAUREN. I HAVE ANOTHER CARD.

JIM MUELLER. GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS.

GOOD EVENING. REVITALIZING THE ARTESIA COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS A CITY STRATEGIC GOAL, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN ABOUT CALMING THE TRAFFIC ON ARTESIA.

SO PEDESTRIANS FEEL COMFORTABLE ON FOOT THERE TO SHOP.

SEE ART THAT WILL BE THERE OR JUST ENJOY THE FEELING OF COMMUNITY IN A PUBLIC SPACE.

IN SOME PLACES ON ARTESIA, WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK FEELS LIKE WALKING IN A TUNNEL AMIDST HEAVY TRAFFIC.

THE AACAP ARTESIA AVIATION CORRIDOR ACTION PLAN IS LIGHT ON IMPROVING THE ARTESIA PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE OF THE AACAP 17 TASK CATEGORIES. ONLY TWO EVEN MENTIONED PEDESTRIANS AND NONE MENTIONED TRAFFIC CALMING.

WHILE THREE OF THE CATEGORIES FOCUS ONLY ON PARKING, 20,000 PEOPLE LIVE WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF ARTESIA BOULEVARD.

IT'S LIKELY THAT THOSE PEOPLE WOULD RATHER WALK OR BIKE TO ARTESIA TO DINE OR SHOP, ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAY AND ON WEEKENDS.

I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS IN DISTRICT FIVE, AND THEY DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE ON THE SIDEWALK ON ARTESIA, PARTICULARLY IF CHILDREN ARE WITH THEM. PERHAPS THE COMMISSION COULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

THE COUNCIL SEEMS TO WANT ARTESIA DISTRICT TO BE MORE LIKE THE BUSY RIVIERA.

PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE WALKING THE SIDEWALKS ON CATALINA AND THE RIVIERA THE TRAFFIC VOLUME.

THERE IS ONE THIRD THE VOLUME OF ARTESIA. THE SIDEWALKS ARE WIDER AND BUFFERED FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

IS ARTESIA TRAFFIC LOCAL? AE ARE DRIVERS GOING TO OR COMING FROM NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE AREA? OR IS MUCH OF ARTESIA TRAFFIC THROUGH TRAFFIC, THAT IS, PEOPLE TRAVELING FROM OUTSIDE REDONDO WITH A DESTINATION OUTSIDE REDONDO.

THE BUSINESSES ON ARTESIA AREN'T SO CROWDED TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT ALL THOSE CARS INTEND TO STOP IN REDONDO, AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. FIRST, PEOPLE TRAVELING THROUGH TEND TO GO AT HIGHER SPEED, CREATING A MORE ANXIETY PRODUCING ENVIRONMENT.

SECOND, PEOPLE GOING THROUGH NONSTOP ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO REDONDO ECONOMY.

THERE ARE WAYS TO MEASURE THE VOLUME OF THROUGH TRAFFIC, AND THERE ARE WAYS TO SLOW IT DOWN AND DIVERT IT TO OTHER THROUGH STREETS IN THE AREA.

I SUGGEST THE TRAFFIC DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS STUDY THIS ISSUE, TAKING A SURVEY TO GAUGE THE PUBLIC EXPERIENCE AND PERCEPTION, AND TAKE ACTION TO MITIGATE IT. THE MORE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE WALKING ON THE BOULEVARD.

THE MORE CHANCES FOR BUSINESS TO MAKE A SALE.

SO IN THESE TIMES OF RESTRICTED BUDGETS AND TIGHT REVENUE, MORE PEOPLE BUYING ON ARTESIA IS A WORTHY GOAL.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL THE CARDS I HAVE.

AND THERE'S NO HANDS RAISED ON ZOOM. OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON TO I.

[00:10:03]

MOVING ON TO J ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION.

[J. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO ACTION]

RYAN LIU, CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER. THIS IS ITEM J.2.

GRANT AND BLOSSOM. DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES.

JUST AS SOME BACKGROUND, WE'VE RECEIVED SPEEDING AND SAFETY CONCERNS FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE GRANT AND BLOSSOM INTERSECTION.

SOME FROM CRASHES THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY.

WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, A POLICE REPORT HAS BEEN FILED.

WE RECEIVED SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THROUGH THE DISTRICT FOUR COUNCIL MEMBER AS SOME BACKGROUND, GRANT AVENUE IS A FAIRLY WIDE 35 MILE PER HOUR COLLECTOR STREET THAT YOU KNOW, IS A REALLY GOOD EAST WEST ARTERY FOR TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT THE CITY. BLOSSOM LANE IS OUR TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL LOCAL STREET.

25MPH. 28FT WIDE. PRETTY NARROW IN WIDTH. WE DO HAVE RECORDED SPEEDS, 85TH PERCENTILE SPEEDS FOR GRANT THAT ARE ABOUT 40MPH.

SO THAT IS ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO TO THE RIGHT.

WE'VE INSTALLED CURB EXTENSIONS ALONG GRANT AT ALL INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN AVIATION AND INGLEWOOD.

MOST OF ALL THE INTERSECTIONS ON GRANT BETWEEN AVIATION INGLEWOOD LOOK LIKE THIS.

ABOUT HALF OF THEM HAVE SIGNALS. AND HERE AT BLOSSOM, THERE IS NO SIGNAL.

AS ANOTHER PROJECT, AS WE REPAVE GRANT AVENUE WE DO HAVE FUNDING TO REPAVE A COUPLE BLOCKS OF IT AT A TIME.

WE WILL BE NARROWING THE LANES TO REDUCE THOSE EXCESSIVE SPEEDS AND ADD BUFFERS TO THE BIKE LANES.

SO SOME OF THE SOME OF THE COMMUNITY'S CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE SPEEDING ON GRANT SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE ADDRESSED SOMEWHAT BY THE RESURFACING PROJECT THAT WILL COME THROUGH THIS AREA EVENTUALLY. AS PART OF THIS AGENDA ITEM, WE SENT OUT NOTICE OF POSTCARD NOTICES TO THIS AREA SHADED IN BLUE ABOUT 300FT FROM THE INTERSECTION, THE INTERSECTION TO THE LEFT GREEN AND THE INTERSECTION TO THE RIGHT RINDGE THOSE ARE SIGNALIZED AND THE INTERSECTION BLOSSOM IS NOT SIGNALIZED. WE ALSO COLLECTED DATA FOR THE INTERSECTION.

WE COLLECTED ABOUT ONE HOUR OF COUNTS IN THE AM AND PM.

JUST SEEING WHAT TYPE OF TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM BLOSSOM AND WHAT DIRECTION THEY'RE TURNING IN.

SO THE FIGURE TO THE RIGHT SHOWS THE INTERSECTION WITH THE AM PEAK HOUR AND THE PM PEAK HOUR, AND THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES DRIVERS MAKING THOSE TURNS.

SO THE PM IS WITHIN THE PARENTHESES. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, ABOUT HALF OF THE TRAFFIC THAT ORIGINATES FROM EITHER DIRECTION OF BLOSSOM GOES THROUGH OR LEFT, WHICH MEANS THAT THE HEAVIEST MOVEMENT IS THE RIGHT TURN MOVEMENT.

WE SUSPECT THAT FOR DRIVERS WANTING TO MAKE THROUGH MOVEMENTS OR LEFT TURN MOVEMENTS, A LOT OF THEM CHOOSE TO DO IT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT RATHER THAN AT A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LIKE THIS, WHERE THEY PROBABLY HAVE THE LEAST PRIORITY IN TRAFFIC.

WE ALSO DID A VISIBILITY ANALYSIS SIGHT DISTANCE FOR THIS INTERSECTION.

AND WE DO HAVE ADEQUATE RED CURBS ABOUT 30 TO 40FT IN EACH DIRECTION ALONG GRANT TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE VISIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TURNING.

BUT NONETHELESS THE DRIVERS THAT ARE MAKING THOSE THROUGH AND LEFT TURN MOVEMENTS.

THAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING MOVEMENT AT THAT INTERSECTION.

HAVING TO NAVIGATE FIRST THE CROSSWALKS, THEN THE BIKE LANES, THEN THE THROUGH MOVING TRAFFIC ON GRANT.

WE ALSO RAN A COLLISION ANALYSIS THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET WE FOUND IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

NINE CRASHES AT THIS INTERSECTION, FOUR OF WHICH WERE RIGHT ANGLE COLLISIONS.

SO THAT'S SOMEONE ON GRANT, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH SOMEONE ON BLOSSOM.

SO HERE'S A DIAGRAM OF THE COLLISIONS. ACTUALLY, IN THE PAST EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS, THAT OF THE DATA THAT'S AVAILABLE, THERE ARE ABOUT 14 CRASHES TOTAL. AND SO OF THOSE NINE CRASHES THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, FOUR OF THEM RESULTED IN SOME FORM OF INJURIES.

FIVE WERE PROPERTY DAMAGE ONLY. AND AS I MENTIONED, FOUR OF THOSE WERE RIGHT ANGLE COLLISIONS.

THAT WAS THE MOST FREQUENT COLLISION ALONG WITH PARKED VEHICLES.

IN GENERAL, THESE COLLISIONS HAPPENED IN THE DAYLIGHT DURING DRY CONDITIONS, SO THERE WEREN'T ANY WEATHER OR TIME OF DAY CONDITIONS THAT MAY HAVE MADE THESE COLLISIONS WORSE. SO IN DETERMINING THE COUNTERMEASURES, SOME OF THE THEMES THAT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT ARE WAYS WE CAN REDUCE CONFLICTS, IMPROVING SAFETY FOR ALL ROADWAY USERS, AND ALSO COMPLYING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL STANDARDS BACKED BY INDUSTRY RESEARCH SUCH AS FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION GUIDE ON CROSSWALKS, THE CALIFORNIA MUTCD, WHICH GOVERNS SIGNS AND STRIPES ON THE ROADWAY.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS THAT'S ALSO AN INDUSTRY GROUP AND OTHER SOURCES AS WELL.

[00:15:03]

SO THAT MEANS RIGHT TURN ONLY AT ALL HOURS FROM BLOSSOM.

THIS REDUCES CONFLICTS. IT REMOVES THE MOST DIFFICULT TURNS.

SO IF YOU'RE ON BLOSSOM AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, YOU ONLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON ONE DIRECTION OF CAR TRAFFIC.

THIS IS PRETTY EASY TO IMPLEMENT AND SHOULD ADDRESS A NUMBER OF THOSE RIGHT ANGLE COLLISIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO NAVIGATE BOTH DIRECTIONS OF GRANT AND TRYING TO GO THROUGH AND LEFT.

THERE'S MORE INFORMATION TO PROCESS AS A DRIVER.

AS I MENTIONED THIS IS PRETTY CHEAP TO IMPLEMENT SIGNS AND PAINT, PROBABLY ABOUT $1,000 TO PUT IN AT THIS INTERSECTION.

HOWEVER, SOME OF THE DRAWBACKS OF THIS IS THAT IT IS RELIANT ON REGULAR POLICE ENFORCEMENT.

IT'S NOT. WE CAN'T EXPECT A POLICE OFFICER TO BE OUT THERE AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY ENFORCING THIS AND MANY OTHER TURN RESTRICTIONS AROUND THE CITY.

SOME CITIES PUT IN PHYSICAL FEATURES THAT PHYSICALLY PROHIBIT THOSE DRIVERS FROM TURNING LEFT OR GOING STRAIGHT.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THIS INTERSECTION, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO ADD THOSE UNLESS WE ACTUALLY PROHIBIT MORE OF THOSE TURNS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, MAYBE LEFT TURNS FROM GRANT ONTO BLOSSOM CANNOT BE ALLOWED EITHER.

AND THAT WOULD CREATE MORE OF AN EFFECT AT OTHER INTERSECTIONS.

SO YOU KNOW, THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT WOULD ALSO INCREASE TRAFFIC AND CIRCUITOUS ROUTING ON SOME OTHER STREETS.

SO SOMEONE WHO'S USED TO GOING THROUGH OR TURNING LEFT HERE, THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT TURN AT ANOTHER STREET AT ONE OF THE ADJACENT SIGNALS.

AND SO WE'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THESE TYPES OF MEASURES, THEY, YOU KNOW, WHILE THEY CAN IMPROVE SAFETY, THEY DO AFFECT RESIDENTS THE MOST. SO THESE ARE THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE ARE OFTEN THE ONES THAT DRIVE IT THE MOST EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THE NEXT COUNTERMEASURE THAT WE'RE THAT WE THINK IS FEASIBLE IS TO INSTALL A MARKED CROSSWALK ACROSS GRANT.

WE'VE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS AND REQUESTS FOR SAFER CROSSINGS AT THIS INTERSECTION.

IF WE WERE TO INSTALL CROSSWALK, THIS WOULD BE INCORPORATED AS GRANT IS RESURFACED AND REPAVED, AND WE CAN DESIGN A CROSSWALK HERE. WE WOULD RECOMMEND INSTALLING A RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACON.

SO THAT'S A PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED WARNING LIGHT.

PER THE FHWA THIS IS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS FOR A CROSSING OF THIS TYPE, THIS THIS MANY CARS AND THE WIDTH AND THE LENGTH OF THE CROSSING.

SO, SO THESE LIGHTS FLASH RAPIDLY WHEN A PEDESTRIAN HITS THE BUTTON.

AND RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT DRIVER YIELDING COMPLIANCE IS VERY HIGH WITH THIS.

AND WE WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS, THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT DOES HAVE A COST OF ABOUT 11 TO $15,000 TO INSTALL ONE OF THESE, AND WE'RE UNSURE ABOUT THE FUNDING OBLIGATIONS IN OUR TRAFFIC CALMING ACCOUNT AT THIS TIME.

BUT CERTAINLY A RECOMMENDATION OF THIS, WE COULD BRING BACK TO THE DISTRICT FOR A COUNCIL MEMBER AND DETERMINE WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TO INSTALL THIS.

AND IN ADDITION, IT MAY ENCOURAGE MORE SCHOOL RELATED CROSSINGS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, MAY OR MAY NOT BE DESIRED IN THIS AREA.

I KNOW THAT THE SCHOOL IS JUST ONE BLOCK TO THE WEST, AND MOST OF THE SCHOOL, MOST OF THE STUDENTS THERE ARE CROSSING RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION WHERE IT'S A TRAFFIC SIGNAL CROSSING AT AN RFB, THIS RAPID FLASHING BEACON.

IT DOES NOT COMPEL DRIVERS TO STOP. IT'S NOT A RED LIGHT, IT'S SIMPLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE DRIVERS A WARNING THAT THEY NEED TO YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS.

SO THERE IS A LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY TO CROSSING HERE AS PEDESTRIAN THAT DEPENDING ON THE CITY'S PRIORITIES, WE MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO PRIORITIZE. HERE ARE SOME OTHER COUNTERMEASURES THAT WE STUDIED THAT WE FOUND WERE INFEASIBLE, OR PERHAPS WILL NEED MORE STUDY. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WOULD REQUIRE COLLECTING MORE ACCOUNTS AND DATA, BUT WE DO NOT PREDICT IT WILL MEET THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS TO RECOMMEND INSTALLING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT OR MAINTAIN ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN THE CITY.

ANOTHER TREATMENT IS THE CROSSWALK WITH THE RFP, BUT ALSO ADDING A MEDIAN ISLAND, A PLACE OF REFUGE IN THE MIDDLE FOR PEDESTRIANS TO WAIT.

THIS WOULD REQUIRE REMOVING THE LEFT TURN LANE.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE PROPOSED AND INSTALLED AT BERYL AND IN GUADALUPE, BUT THAT INTERSECTION IS A LOT WIDER AND A LOT BIGGER FOOTPRINT.

THIS INSTALLING ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS AT THIS INTERSECTION, WE THINK THAT BECAUSE OF THE NARROWNESS OF THE INTERSECTION, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT AT THIS LOCATION. WE'VE ALSO HEARD REQUESTS FROM RESIDENTS TO CONVERT THIS INTERSECTION TO BE AN ALL WAY STOP.

WE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THAT BECAUSE GRANT IS DESIGNATED AS A COLLECTOR STREET HAS MUCH BUSIER TRAFFIC.

35MPH COMPARED TO BLOSSOM, WHICH HAS MUCH LOWER VOLUMES.

IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE TO FORCE ALL THE TRAFFIC ON GRANT TO STOP FOR A MUCH LESS BUSY LOCAL STREET.

[00:20:01]

IF THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE TURN RESTRICTION, WE WILL NEED TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL TO GET THAT APPROVED, SINCE IT'S A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN OUR STREET SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE COMMISSION WANTS TO DISCUSS.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC. ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, PLEASE. I'M JOE ARCHER. I LIVE ON GRANT FOUR HOUSES IN FROM BLOSSOM.

I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 20 YEARS. THE CROSSWALK. FIRST OFF, I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY ADDRESSING THE RIGHT PROBLEM.

IF YOU HAVE MORE PEOPLE WALKING ACROSS THAT CROSSWALK, YOU'RE GOING TO GET PEOPLE HIT. SO THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE AT HAND HERE. I THINK IT'S MORE OF CARS GOING THERE. IF YOU HAVE CAR ACCIDENTS AND YOU ADD PEOPLE INTO CROSSWALKS THERE.

BAD SITUATION. BUT FOR THE REASON WHY I THINK A LOT OF THESE CRASHES HAPPEN BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS ON THAT THE FIRST OFF THE CURB CURBS THAT YOU GUYS DID A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. GREAT. BECAUSE THAT HELPED THE CROSSWALK ON GRANT AND ON THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL FROM PEOPLE WALKING THEIR DOGS.

SO THAT WAS A GOOD SOLUTION. AS YOU'RE COMING UP, GOING FROM EAST TO WEST ON GRANT AVENUE, YOU ARE GOING UPHILL, RIGHT? YOU'RE COMING UP THAT HILL, YOU'RE HITTING YOUR SPEED.

SO IT'S MUCH HARDER FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO STOP WHEN THOSE CARS ARE COMING OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. RIGHT. BECAUSE ONCE THAT CAR COMES OUT FROM THE EAST SIDE, RIGHT.

BOOM. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN THE FEW THAT ARE RECORDED, RIGHT? BUT WE HEAR THEM QUITE OFTEN. SOME ARE REPORTED, SOME ARE NOT.

YOU KNOW, THE SPEED ON GRANT IS DEFINITELY FAST.

YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT GO FROM VERY QUIET ON THAT STREET WHERE NOW I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY WINDOWS OPEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE SIDE THERE. SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD RECOMMEND DEFINITELY THE I LIKE THE RIGHT TURN FEATURE.

YES. IT'S GOING TO INCONVENIENCE A FEW RIGHT.

BUT YOU HAVE TWO STREETLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF BLOSSOM.

YOU HAVE ONE AT GRANT. YOU HAVE ONE AT RINDGE. EASY ACCESSIBLE.

AND AS MORE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, ADDING THE CROSSWALKS AS WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD A CROSSING GUARD, CROSSING GUARD ON GRANT AND BLOSSOM OR ON GREEN AND BLOSSOM.

SHE'S AWESOME. SHE DOES HER JOB WELL. IT'S CONTROLLED.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS THERE BECAUSE THERE'S A LIGHT. I DON'T THINK A LIGHT IS JUSTIFIED AT BLOSSOM AND GRANT.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY, BUT I THINK THE RIGHT TURN LANES WOULD BE DEFINITELY HELPFUL.

YOU GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING OFF OF 190TH COMING UP BLOSSOM, AND THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GETTING TO WORK.

SO THEY'RE JUST SHOOTING ACROSS TO GET TO ARTESIA, RIGHT.

THEY SHOULD GO DOWN RINDGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE IT'S CONTROLLED. SO IT'S MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. YOU CAN JUST COME UP, INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JASON SCHROEDER, FORMER PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSIONER OF REDONDO BEACH.

I'D LIKE TO FIRST RECOGNIZE THE CHAIRPERSON. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ALL THE COMMISSIONERS HERE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.

ALSO, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE STAFF HERE AS WELL, TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN FOR OUR PUBLIC WORKS HERE IN THE CITY. AND I REALLY DO FEEL THAT ALL OF YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING QUITE A BIT TO OUR GREAT CITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO SAY HERE FOR THE AREA AND THE TOPIC AT HAND IS THAT I LIVE RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF GRANT AND BLOSSOM. I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 22 YEARS, AND I'VE SEEN QUITE A BIT OF CRASHES OVER MY TIME THAT I HAVE LIVED THERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP TONIGHT THAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY, A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION IS THE RIGHT TURN ONLY ON BLOSSOM.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED IN YOUR, IN YOUR PAGE FOUR THAT YOU HAD UP THERE WAS VERY GOOD TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS GOING THROUGH FROM GRANT AND BLOSSOM ALONG BLOSSOM BOTH FROM NORTH AND SOUTH.

AND I NOTICED THAT THAT IS A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREA CROSSING GRANT.

AND SO THAT I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW INSTANCES OF A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

AND WHILE I DIDN'T SEE THE SEVERITY LISTED ON THERE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ACCIDENTS WERE PRETTY BAD.

I HAVE WITNESSED SEVERAL DEATHS AT THAT INTERSECTION FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO CROSS GRANT FROM BLOSSOM.

SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT HAS HAS OCCURRED. THERE ARE MANY ACCIDENTS.

I HAVE MANY ACCOUNTS OF RIGHT TURNERS AND PEOPLE CROSSING THAT STREET WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN IN COLLISIONS.

MOST RECENTLY IT'S BEEN A FIREFIGHTER OF THE CITY.

HE WAS STRUCK THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION.

[00:25:02]

WE LIKE THE BUMP OUTS THEY ARE VERY, VERY GOOD.

A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE ALSO DONE THE STREET LIGHTING.

EXCELLENT. BUT WHEN HE TRIED TO AVOID THE COLLISION, HE DID DAMAGE HIS VEHICLE AND HIT ONE OF THE BUMP OUTS.

AND IT WAS LIKE MANY OF THE ACCIDENTS I'VE SEEN BEFORE.

AND SO I WAITED WITH HIM UNTIL TRIPLE A CAME AND PICKED UP HIS VEHICLE.

AND THANKFULLY IN THAT SITUATION, NOBODY WAS HURT.

BUT HE WAS GETTING OFF SHIFT AND HE WAS GOING HOME.

AND I SAT AND TALKED WITH HIM FOR ABOUT AN HOUR HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE WITH HIM.

SO HE WAS A VERY NICE GENTLEMAN. THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH.

HAVING THE GREAT FIREFIGHTERS OF THE CITY. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO JUST SAY ONE LAST THING.

I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB, AND I REALLY RESPECT AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT I HAVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO HAVE A HAND RAISED ON ZOOM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT COMMENT.

OF COURSE. GO AHEAD. GRACE, YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF.

THANK YOU. MY NAME IS GRACE PANG. I LIVE NORTH OF ARTESIA, AND I OFTEN BIKE BY THAT CORNER ON MY WAY HOME FROM SOUTH REDONDO I, YOU KNOW, I TAKE FLAGLER AND I SNAKE OVER TO BLOSSOM.

I MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM NORTHBOUND BLOSSOM ONTO EASTBOUND GRANT.

AND I HAVE HAD A I'VE HAD SEVERAL SCARY NEAR-MISSES AT THAT INTERSECTION WHEN I'M TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND A CAR GOING WESTBOUND ON GRANT, TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT BLOSSOM.

THEY'RE GOING SUPER FAST. THEY'RE LOOKING ONLY FOR CARS.

AND THEY WHEN THEY MAKE THE LEFT TURN, THEY CUT OVER INTO MY LANE AND ALMOST HIT A UNPROTECTED CYCLIST HEAD ON. SO I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF DAYLIGHTING THAT INTERSECTION AND SLOWING DOWN THE CARS ON GRANT.

RELATEDLY, IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT SOMETIMES FOR ME TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN ONTO GRANT BECAUSE THERE ARE PARKED CARS ALL ALONG BLOSSOM ON THAT SIDE. THE CAR PARKING IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF BLOSSOM, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF GRANT.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE A CYCLIST AND YOU'RE APPROACHING IT AND SOMEONE'S MAKING A RIGHT TURN, YOU END UP BEING SQUEEZED BETWEEN A WALL OF PARKED CARS AND A CAR, TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, LOOKING FOR A GAP IN THE AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC.

HOWEVER, IF I'M A BICYCLIST MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM BLOSSOM, FROM NORTHBOUND BLOSSOM TO EASTBOUND GRANT I DON'T HAVE TO. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CAR CONFLICTS BECAUSE IT'S CONTIGUOUS TO THE BIKE LANE.

I DON'T INTERFERE WITH THE CARS GOING STRAIGHT ON GRANT.

SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU MOVE THE PARKING ON BLOSSOM ON THAT ONE BLOCK TO THE OTHER SIDE, TO THE WEST SIDE OF BLOSSOM. JUST FOR THE BLOCK THAT IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF GRANT, BECAUSE THAT. AND THEN YOU COULD PAINT LIKE WITH A GREEN, LIKE A GREEN BIKE LANE JUST FOR THAT.

AND THEN CONTINUE IT ACROSS. SO TO THE GREEN PAINT ON GRANT FOR THE BIKE LANE JUST SO THAT CARS DON'T ENCROACH ON MY SPACE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SUVS AND PEOPLE PARK RIGHT UP TO THE CORNER.

THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN DAYLIGHTING, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE LAW. AND SO THE THE VISIBILITY IS REALLY POOR, AND I THINK THAT'S WHY THE CARS ALMOST HIT ME, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE ME BECAUSE OF THE PARKED CARS.

BUT I SUPPORT THE MOVE TO MAKE IT SO THAT ON BLOSSOM, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE A RIGHT TURN.

I THINK A HAWK MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT.

TIME. IT'S A LONG BLOCK. OKAY. SORRY. YEAH. THANK YOU.

I THINK WE HAVE SOME MORE PUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

SURE. YEAH. COME ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

HI, JACK EVANSON. WELL, I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A LOT OF THE THINGS, BUT I'M ON THE CORNER OF DIAMOND AND FRANCISCA, WHICH IS A BIG PROBLEM.

[00:30:08]

STOP RIGHT THERE WHERE THE HIGH SCHOOL IS. THEY DID PUT UP A FLASHING STOP WHERE THERE'S A LOT ON THAT STREET, BUT PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO SEE IT. PREVIOUSLY. THEY PUT IN TO PUT ANOTHER STOP ON GRATUITO. I GUESS THAT WAS VOTED DOWN.

I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WOULD TRY TO GET THAT IN AGAIN.

MAYBE IT WOULD SLOW THE PEOPLE COMING DOWN THE HILL ON DIAMOND, BECAUSE THEY COME DOWN THERE 50 MILES AN HOUR TOWARDS PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY LOOKING AT THAT SIGNAL, AND SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN SEE FRANCISCA.

I THINK YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE NEXT ITEM. NEXT ITEM.

THIS ONE IS A GRANT AND BLOSSOM. THE J.3 IS THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ITEM. THE ONE TALKING ABOUT DIAMOND.

THAT'S THE NEXT ITEM. THIS ONE SPECIFIC TO GRANT AND BLOSSOM.

THAT'S WHAT THIS MEETING. THIS ITEM IS FOR GRANT.

BLOSSOM. THE NEXT. THE NEXT ITEM. WE'LL CALL YOU UP ON THE NEXT ITEM.

NEXT ITEM IS ON THE HIGH SCHOOL ITEM, THE ONE ON DIAMOND AND FRANCISCA.

SPECIFIC TO GRANT AND BLOSSOM. THE POSTCARD I GOT WAS FOR SAFETY FOR REDONDO BEACH.

THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ITEM. JACK WE'RE GOING TO CALL YOU BACK UP IN JUST A MOMENT.

THIS J.2 NEXT ITEM THAT THEY'LL SPEAK ABOUT IS J.3.

SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS TONIGHT. AND SO ITEM IS AFTER THIS ITEM ABOUT GRANT AVENUE.

WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS DIAMOND AFTERWARDS. WE ARE ON J.2. SO WE'RE COMING UP NEXT, SIR.

STAND BY EVERYBODY. WE'RE ON J.2. NOT TODAY. TODAY? YEAH. JUST GIVE US A MOMENT, JACK. WE'RE ON J.2.

YOU'RE GOING TO. WE'RE GOING TO COME UP ON YOU IN J.3. J.3 IN JUST A MOMENT. JUST ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.

THEY WON'T BE TALKING ABOUT IT. I NEVER GET ANY SATISFACTION.

YOU WILL. HELLO. WELCOME. HI. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS BRITTANY SCHROEDER. I LIVE AT 2101 GRANT.

SO AGAIN ON THE CORNER OF GRANT AND BLOSSOM AND MY HUSBAND JUST SPOKE.

THE ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION ABOUT THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE IS I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF IT BECAUSE I WALK MY DAUGHTER TO BIRNEY EVERY MORNING.

I CAN'T TELL YOU THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY CARS LITERALLY CROSSING THE STREET, SO PEOPLE DON'T LOOK TO THE LEFT WHEN THEY'RE TURNING RIGHT, PEOPLE TURNING RIGHT DON'T LOOK AT THE CROSSWALK.

PEOPLE COMING ACROSS I NEVER KNOW IF THEY SEE US.

SO I THINK THE PROPOSED IDEA TO HAVE A RIGHT TURN ONLY JUST MIGHT HELP.

AGAIN, I KNOW IT WILL POTENTIALLY IMPACT OTHER CROSSWALKS, BUT THEY HAVE LIGHTS.

ANY KIND OF CALMING WE COULD DO TO HELP IT BE A LITTLE SAFER FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL.

I THINK I'M A PROPONENT OF. SO THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

THE NEW LIGHTING IS GREAT, BY THE WAY. IT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY, IN MY OPINION, AS AN OBSERVER REDUCED THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS THAT WE'VE HAD AT THE INTERSECTION. SO I THINK THIS COULD JUST HELP ADD TO IT.

FANTASTIC. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE DISCUSSION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY? COME ON UP. WELCOME. DAVID LEFEVRE. I LIVE 2020 GRANT, WHICH IS BASICALLY ONE HOUSE FROM THE CORNER, AND ONE THING I NOTICED IS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT WORSE, STARTING WHEN THEY PUT IN THE SIGNAL AT 190TH.

THAT MEANS A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK SORT OF TREAT IT AS A THROUGH ROUTE, EVEN THOUGH IF YOU'VE EVER TAKEN IT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT A VERY YOU KNOW, IT HAS A A LITTLE BRANCH OF PART OF BLOSSOM IS ABOUT AS STEEP AS YOU CAN GET ON A ROAD.

SO I THINK THE RIGHT TURN THING IS NECESSARY BECAUSE I WALK ACROSS IT QUITE A BIT.

QUITE OFTEN YOU CAN SEE THE CARS TRYING TO GO THROUGH AND JUST SORT OF EDGING AND.

I DON'T SEE VERY FEW, VERY FEW PEDESTRIANS CROSS IT.

SO I DON'T REALLY THINK THEY NEED A CROSSWALK ACROSS GRANT BECAUSE ALL THE SCHOOL KIDS, THEY ALL CROSS ON GREEN AVENUE, WHICH IS QUITE A BIT SAFER. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:35:04]

JUST CHIMING IN OFF OF WHAT I'VE HEARD. I LIVE ON HARRIMAN, THE 2300 OFF OF GRANT.

I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE REPAVING. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS GOING ON, BUT JUST A SUGGESTION ON THE REPAVING.

I KNOW YOU CAN DRAW TRIANGLES GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY.

IF THAT'S AN ISSUE WITH SPEED AND RIGHT TURNS BEING MADE, IF THE RIGHT TURN LANE IS IMPLEMENTED, IF THAT'S SOMETHING TO TELL THE EAST AND WESTBOUND TRAFFIC THAT RIGHT TURNS WILL BE MADE ONTO THAT LANE AS A JUST SLOW DOWN MEASURE AND AN AWARENESS IF ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE AND CROSSING ISN'T PUT IN THERE. BUT THAT WAS KIND OF JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

HI, I'M ANNETTE LOPEZ. I LIVE AT THE CORNER OF BLOSSOM AND GRANT ALSO, AND I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 2007, AND I'VE SEEN AN ACCIDENT ALMOST EVERY YEAR THERE.

I THINK THE RIGHT TURN THE PROPOSED RIGHT TURN ONLY SIGNS GOING BOTH DIRECTIONS NORTH AND SOUTH ONTO GRANT ARE A GOOD SOLUTION. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. EVEN IF THERE'S A RIGHT TURN ONLY SIGN, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE AT LEAST. I'M GOING WEST ON GRANT FROM BLOSSOM, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A RED CURB, THERE'S STILL VERY DIFFICULT VISIBILITY OF WESTBOUND CARS ON GRANT.

SO I'M ACTUALLY IN THE CROSSWALK AND THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO CROSS THE CROSSWALK, BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO GET AROUND INCHING INTO THE CROSSWALK TO BE ABLE TO SEE ONCOMING CARS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE THE RED CURB NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED SO THAT VISIBILITY IS BETTER.

OTHERWISE, I'M ALREADY IN THE STREET OR IN THE CROSSWALK WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CROSS AT THE SAME TIME.

AND I'VE I'VE ACTUALLY CROSSED THAT CROSSWALK BEHIND CARS, BUT THEN CARS MAKING RIGHT TURNS CAN'T SEE ME.

CARS COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF GRANT GOING NORTH CAN'T SEE ME AND CARS GOING LEFT CAN'T SEE ME IF I WALK BEHIND A CAR THAT'S TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN OR A TURN REGARDLESS ON THAT STREET.

SO I ACTUALLY STOPPED MAKING RIGHT TURNS ONTO GRANT FROM BLOSSOM, AND I JUST GO TO EITHER GREEN OR RINDGE TO MAKE MY TURNS BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE EVEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT THAT INTERSECTION.

ONLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I'VE LIVED THERE.

SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THE DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES AT GRANT AVENUE AND BLOSSOM LANE INTERSECTION? FOR THE RECORD, NO OTHER HANDS RAISED. I DO HAVE ONE ECOMMENT WHO IS NEUTRAL ON THE ITEM.

OKAY. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. YEAH. THANK YOU, EVERYONE FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

AND THEN TO THE STAFF FOR YOUR ANALYSIS. YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PRIMARY ISSUE THAT WAS RAISED WHEN THE ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP TO YOU WAS VEHICULAR COLLISIONS, RIGHT.

LIKE TRAFFIC SAFETY THERE. AND YOUR DATA SHOWS THAT THERE'S A CONCERN AND THE RIGHT TURN ONLY'S I'M ALWAYS A FAN OF THOSE AS WELL.

IT'S A QUICK, EASY, LOW COST SOLUTION. IT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED SOONER THAN MANY OTHER OPTIONS I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST MAYBE THE CROSSWALK THERE AS, LIKE SO MANY OTHER FOLKS HAVE SAID, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THERE'S AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND YOU HAVE A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION ONE BLOCK TO THE WEST AT GREEN. AND IT'S ACTUALLY REASSURING TO HEAR SO MUCH SUPPORT FROM OUR COMMUNITY HERE FOR THE RIGHT TURN ONLY.

SO I THINK RIGHT NOW, JUST MY PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS ARE PRETTY YOU KNOW, LEANING TOWARDS THAT RIGHT TURN ONLY RESTRICTION.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. JUST A QUESTION. COMMISSIONER SIMPSON.

SURE. IN ORDER, IF WE PASS THAT RECOMMENDATION, IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL RIGHT FOR APPROVAL.

[00:40:05]

OKAY. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI.

COMMISSIONER BEELI. ANY COMMENT? I YEAH, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS, I GUESS, ARE THAT IF WITHOUT ANYTHING ELSE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO PUSH FORWARD STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION FOR A RIGHT TURN ONLY FOR BOTH NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND BLOSSOM AT GRANT.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? DO A ROLL CALL.

COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

AYE. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI.

AYE. COMMISSIONER BEELI. AYE. CHAIR ARRATA. AYE.

THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION J.2 DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES AT THE GRANT AVENUE AND BLOSSOM LANE INTERSECTION. THAT'S THE ONE WE JUST DID. WE'RE ON J.3 NOW.

3.3. I'M SORRY. J.3 DISCUSSION OF TIME AND STREET RESTRIPING BETWEEN PCH AND PROSPECT AND REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS.

SO THIS AGENDA ITEM CAME ABOUT FROM A RECOMMENDATION FROM A PRIOR COMMISSION MEETING, AS WELL AS A REFERRAL FROM THE THEN DISTRICT TWO COUNCIL MEMBER.

AND SO THIS IS SORT OF LIKE THE NEXT STEP IN THAT PROCESS PERTAINING TO DIAMOND BETWEEN PCH AND PROSPECT, THE ACCESS TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS THE CURB SPACE ON THE HIGH SCHOOL'S FRONTAGES ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CAMPUS NEAR VINCENT STREET.

MAINLY REGARDING PUBLIC STREETS AND A LITTLE BIT OF COOPERATION FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE WILL DISCUSS THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE REPORT.

SO IN THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS HERE, THE LONG YELLOW HIGHLIGHT IS DIAMOND STREET.

AND THE ONES ON THE BOTTOM ARE THE SCHOOLS FRONTAGES ON VINCENT STREET.

THESE STEM FROM LONG RUNNING SAFETY AND SPEEDING CONCERNS AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SCHOOL TIME CONGESTION ON CITY STREETS AROUND REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL.

IN THE FISCAL YEAR 24-25 BUDGET DIRECTION WE WERE DIRECTED TO STUDY THIS ISSUE, SO WE RETAINED A CONSULTANT WHO DID DATA COLLECTION, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, ANALYSIS AND DESIGN. THEY PREPARED A REPORT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

IT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS AGENDA PACKET. IF THE COMMISSION IS IN RECOMMENDATION OF THESE CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STREETS AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL, THEY AND THEN ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY WILL BE INCORPORATED IN A SLURRY SEAL PROJECT FOR DIAMOND.

SO WE HAVE A FRESH STREET WITH NEW STRIPING TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE CHANGES.

SO WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING MAJOR CURB RECONSTRUCTION WITH THIS PROJECT, WHERE THIS IS MORE OF A QUICK BUILD, SHORT TERM PROJECT. ONCE WE DETERMINED THAT THE COST FOR THAT SLURRY SEAL.

THE DELIVERABLE FOR THIS PROJECT IS THE REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS STUDY AND DESIGN REPORT.

THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF.

IT'S BEEN AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE SINCE THE 16TH.

THE LINK HAS BEEN AND THE WHOLE REPORT IS INCLUDED IN THIS AGENDA PACKET FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.

AND IN THE PUBLIC NOTICING FOR THIS ITEM, WE ALSO SENT A LINK TO THIS REPORT VIA QR CODE.

SO THE RESIDENTS HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS REPORT.

IT WAS ALSO CIRCULATED WITH THE DISTRICT TWO COUNCIL MEMBER.

AND LAST WEEK WE ALSO PRESENTED AT THE DISTRICT TWO COMMUNITY MEETING.

THIS REPORT HAS AN INTRODUCTION AND GOES THROUGH AN EVALUATION OF DATA.

SO THEY COLLECTED PARKING, TRAFFIC VOLUMES, TRAFFIC SPEEDS, CRASHES.

THERE WERE FORMS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, A SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES THAT WERE OBSERVED FROM THE SITE VISITS, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND A SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND MAP IN TABULAR FORMAT.

THE EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT THE PROJECT TEAM FOUND.

UNSURPRISINGLY, HIGH PARKING UTILIZATION ALONG DIAMOND WEST OF DEL AMO STREET.

SO THIS IS THE FRONTAGE ALONG THE HIGH SCHOOL AND OF THE APPROXIMATELY 86 SPACES ON DIAMOND IN THAT SEGMENT.

DURING THE PEAK SCHOOL HOURS, ABOUT 82 OF THOSE SPACES WERE FILLED.

NOT SURPRISING. WE SEE MUCH LOWER UTILIZATION OF PARKING EAST OF DEL AMO STREET, WHERE THERE ARE ABOUT 68 SPACES AVAILABLE DURING THE DAY.

I DID A DRIVE BY TODAY, AND THAT WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH WITH THE FINDINGS OF THIS REPORT AND THE DATA THAT WAS COLLECTED.

SO THIS IS CLOSER TO PROSPECT. THE PROJECT TEAM OBSERVED SIGNIFICANT CYCLISTS AND DRIVER CONFLICTS AT SEA HAWK WAY.

THIS IS THE LEFT TURN AS YOU'RE COMING FROM PROSPECT TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO SEA HAWK WAY.

IT'S A MAJOR ENTRANCE FOR CYCLISTS AND DRIVERS.

THERE ARE ACTUALLY MORE CYCLISTS MAKING THAT LEFT TURN THAN DRIVERS.

SO WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE ARE A LOT OF CYCLISTS WEAVING AROUND THE THE DRIVERS IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE AND TRYING TO JOCKEY FOR SPACE AS THEY ENTER THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT WHERE THE BIKE PARKING IS. WE ALSO SEE A HIGH NUMBER OF PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AT THAT DIAMOND DEL AMO AND JUANITA INTERSECTION.

THAT'S A MAJOR STOP CONTROLLED INTERSECTION FOR PEDESTRIANS WALKING TO SCHOOL.

[00:45:03]

A LOT OF IT'S HARD TO FIT, YOU KNOW, 20 OR 30 CYCLISTS IN A SINGLE FILE LINE.

THEY TEND TO RIDE 2 OR 3 IN A ROW. AND THE BIKE LANES, ARE A LITTLE BIT ON THE NARROW SIDE.

THEY WERE INSTALLED PROBABLY OVER 20 YEARS AGO IN A PRIOR GENERATION OF BICYCLE LANES.

THE PROJECT TEAM ALSO COLLECTED SPEEDS ALONG THE STREET.

THEY ARE GENERALLY WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT, SO THE SPEED LIMIT ON DIAMOND IS 30MPH AND DROPS DOWN TO 25 DURING THE SCHOOL PICKUP DROP OFF PERIODS WHEN IT'S BUSIER.

OF COURSE, THERE'S CERTAINLY SOME OUTLIERS, ESPECIALLY WITH, YOU KNOW, AS SOME RESIDENTS HAVE MENTIONED, IF THEY SEE A GREEN LIGHT ON DIAMOND AT PCH, THEY WANT TO BEAT THAT LIGHT, SO THEY TEND TO DRIVE A LITTLE BIT FASTER.

SO THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF ISOLATED INCIDENTS.

BUT THE AVERAGE SPEEDS ARE GENERALLY, YOU KNOW, NOT THE BIGGEST CONCERN THAT WAS FOUND IN THE DATA COLLECTION.

THEY ALSO RAN A COLLISION ANALYSIS ALONG THE SCHOOLS FRONTAGES.

SO NOT JUST DIAMOND BUT ALSO VINCENT. THEY FOUND 17 CRASHES IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TRAFFIC DURING SCHOOL TIMES WE ALSO SAW MORE CRASHES DURING THOSE TIMES AS WELL.

AND THOSE INJURY CRASHES. SO CRASHES THAT DID HAVE RESULT IN INJURIES WERE MORE LIKELY TO INVOLVE CYCLISTS.

THAT'S NOT SURPRISING EITHER, BECAUSE CYCLISTS ARE NOT PROTECTED IN A CAR, AND SO THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO BE INJURED WHEN THEY DO GET INVOLVED IN A COLLISION.

THE PROJECT TEAM ALSO PERFORMED TWO PHASES OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

THE FIRST WAS DIRECTED SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WITH STAFF, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, COMMUNITY GROUPS AND TWO STUDENTS FROM THE REDONDO BEACH YOUTH COMMISSION, ONE WHO DRIVES THE SCHOOL AND ONE WHO DOESN'T DRIVE TO SCHOOL.

THEY WERE INCLUDED AND THEIR FEEDBACK WAS PRESENTED AS THEY ARE DAY TO DAY USERS OF THE AREA, AS WELL AS THE PTA FOR THE SCHOOL. WE ALSO HELD A COMMUNITY MEETING DISTRICT TWO COMMUNITY ONLINE COMMUNITY MEETING.

ABOUT 20 ATTENDEES SHOWED UP, MOSTLY NEIGHBORS IN THE AREA.

AND THIS HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED.

CROSSWALK SAFETY, CYCLISTS AND DRIVERS NOT STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS.

WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF THIS FEEDBACK OVER THE YEARS.

AS E-BIKES HAVE BECOME MORE POPULAR. WE DID FOUND WE HEARD OBSERVATIONS ABOUT BUS RIDERS.

YOU KNOW, THE BUS COMING DOWN AND DROPPING THE KIDS OFF.

THOSE BUS RIDERS ARE NOT CROSSING THE STREET AT CROSSWALKS, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BUS STOP.

WE'VE ALSO OBSERVED THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH BIKE PARKING ON CAMPUS.

THERE'S A LOT OF SPILLOVER OF THAT, OF THAT PARKING ON CITY STREETS AND ON UTILITY POLES AROUND THE CAMPUS, AS WELL AS SIDEWALK RIDING AND PARENTS THAT ARE PARKING IN BICYCLE LANES ILLEGALLY, WHETHER YOU KNOW, WAITING FOR A CHILD OR OR JUST LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK.

THE FIGURE TO THE RIGHT BLUE SHOWS THE NOTICING AREA FOR THIS.

THAT'S ABOUT 700 RESIDENTS THAT WERE NOTICED FOR THIS MEETING.

SO THIS GRAPHIC IS A SUMMARY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AFTER RECEIVING ALL THE DATA AND DOING ALL THE OUTREACH HERE'S A LIST OF ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE PROJECT TEAM HAS COME UP WITH.

THE ALONG MOST OF THESE CHANGES ARE ALONG DIAMOND STREET, WHERE WE HAVE THE MOST ROOM TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AND WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF THAT SCHOOL TRAFFIC. THE ORANGE LINE SHOWS PROPOSED SECTIONS OF PROTECTED BIKE LANES.

SO THIS IS A BIKE LANE THAT'S PROTECTED BY PARKING AND BOLLARDS AND OR BOLLARDS, SO THAT WE DON'T SEE INTRUSION INTO THAT BIKE LANE MAKES THE BIKE LANE MORE SAFER AND MORE WELCOMING TO USE. THE DASHED LINE SHOWS A BUFFERED BIKE LANE WHERE, IN ORDER TO PRESERVE STREET PARKING WE HAVE ENOUGH WIDTH TO ADD A BUFFER NEXT TO THE BIKE LANE TO AVOID DOORS AND OR MOVING TRAFFIC.

AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH BY ACCOMPLISH ALL THIS BY NARROWING THE EXISTING LANES, NARROWING THE CENTER MEDIAN, THE CENTER TURN LANE WHERE IT'S NOT NEEDED. AND WE CAN REPURPOSE THAT SPACE FOR SLOWER SPEEDS SO THE NARROWER LANES WILL SLOW DRIVERS DOWN AS WELL AS ADD THAT PROTECTION SPACE FOR CYCLISTS. IN TERMS OF PARKING REMOVAL, WE'RE PROPOSING TO REMOVE ONE SPACE IN THAT HEAVILY IMPACTED PARKING AREA WEST OF DEL AMO AND ABOUT 11 SPACES EAST OF DEL AMO, AND JUANITA, WHERE THE UTILIZATION IS MUCH LOWER AND SO THE PARKING DEMAND CAN STILL BE ACCOMMODATED WITH THOSE LOST SPACES. BUT WITH THAT WE GAIN MORE VISIBILITY AND THE ABILITY TO PUT THAT PROTECTED BIKE LANE IN.

WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING CURB EXTENSIONS AND ASPHALT ART AT THE ALWAYS STOPS AS SORT OF A QUICK BUILD MEASURE TO INCREASE THE SAFETY AND SLOW DOWN THE TURNS AT THAT INTERSECTION.

WE RAN, ANALYZES AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT TURN LANES ARE NOT NECESSARY AT THOSE STOP CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS.

[00:50:05]

IF WE CAN REDUCE THAT, THOSE LANES, THOSE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN LANES, THAT MAKES CROSSING ON FOOT MUCH SIMPLER.

AND IT WILL IMPROVE SAFETY. WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING ADDITIONAL BIKE PARKING NEAR THE STARBUCKS, SO THAT WE'RE ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO PARK ON THE BIKE RACK AND RIGHT IN THE STREET INSTEAD OF GOING ONTO THE SIDEWALK TO PARK THEIR BIKE AT STARBUCKS.

WE ALSO PROPOSED SOME LOADING ZONE MODIFICATIONS ON THE VINCENT SIDE OF THE SCHOOL, WHICH WE WILL TALK ABOUT FURTHER FROM OUR TAKEAWAYS FROM THE DISTRICT TWO COMMUNITY MEETING. SO HERE'S A GRAPHIC OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO CHANGE AT SEA HAWK WAY.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT HERE IS THE ADDITION OF A DEDICATED BIKE LEFT TURN LANE.

THIS ALLOWS THE CYCLIST TO HAVE THEIR OWN DEDICATED SPACE TO TURN LEFT.

THAT'S INDEPENDENT OF THE DRIVERS AND VEHICLES MAKING THOSE LEFT TURNS SO THEY WILL BE OUT OF EACH OTHER'S HAIR.

AND THAT GOES INTO A SPECIFIC BIKE ENTRANCE THAT LEADS INTO THE BIKE CAGE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS GRAPHIC WAS MADE IN COOPERATION WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL, AT LEAST AT THE STAFF LEVEL.

THEY WERE OPEN TO MAKING THESE CHANGES ON THEIR CAMPUS.

REMOVING THAT FIXED METAL GATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVEWAY SO THAT THERE'S MORE FLEXIBLE USE OF THAT SPACE ON SEA HAWK WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXISTING VEHICLE TURNS, BUT ALSO A DEDICATED SPACE FOR THE BIKES SO THAT WE'RE SEPARATING THAT FROM THE VEHICLE MOVEMENTS.

IN HERE IT ALSO SHOWS THE PORTIONS OF PROTECTED BIKE LANES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THIS VIEW.

HERE ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES AT THE DEL AMO AND JUANITA INTERSECTION, SHOWING THE NARROWED MEDIAN SPACE AND REFUGE ISLAND FOR PEDESTRIANS AND QUICK BUILD CURB EXTENSIONS IN THE IN THE CURRENT DAYLIGHTING ZONE TO SLOW DOWN VEHICLE TURNS AND IMPROVE SAFETY.

SO LAST WEEK, WE PRESENTED THIS REPORT AT THE DISTRICT TWO COMMUNITY MEETING.

WE WE PREDICTED THAT MOST OF THE RESIDENTS THERE WERE LIVED NEAR VINCENT PARK OR ON THE VINCENT SIDE OF THE, OF THE CAMPUS. WE RECEIVED POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR THE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS THE BULBOUTS AND MEDIAN CROSSING ISLANDS, AS WELL AS POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR THE BICYCLE LANE UPGRADES, INCLUDING THE PROTECTED BIKE LANE.

WE DID HEAR SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE CURB SPACE CHANGES ON ALONG VINCENT PARK.

THE RESIDENTS THERE DID NOT WANT TO BE OVERLOADED WITH ADDITIONAL PICKUP AND DROP OFFS IN THAT AREA, AS WELL AS WANT. THEY ALSO WANTED MORE BIKE PARKING FOR STUDENTS NEAR SCHOOL ENTRANCES.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE HAPPEN.

AS A SEPARATE PROJECT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ACTUALLY WORKING ON A NEW PICKUP DROP OFF ZONE ON CAMPUS ALONG THE FRANCISCA AND EL REDONDO WEST ENTRANCE, SO THAT WILL BE TOTALLY ON CAMPUS, PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL PICKUP DROP OFF ZONE THAT HOPEFULLY WILL ABSORB SOME OF THE DEMAND FROM ALL THE OTHER POINTS OF ENTRY TO THE CAMPUS.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS NOT YET FINALIZED THE DESIGN, AND THE DIRECTION OF WHICH THAT THAT PICKUP DROP OFF WILL OCCUR, BUT WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM AT THE STAFF LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY'S INTERESTS AND THE SCHOOL'S INTERESTS ARE ALIGNED AND AND IN COOPERATION SO THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS, PROJECT, THE DIAMOND STREET PROJECT, AND THAT FUTURE PICK UP DROP OFF AREA WILL HARMONIZE AND WORK WELL WITH EACH OTHER.

AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO TAKE PUBLIC INPUT AND RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THIS PROJECT, WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES, OR IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CHANGES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALONG THE STUDY AREA, AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE I KNOW WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. YEAH, WE HAVE SEVERAL CARDS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CARDS FIRST.

ABSOLUTELY. FIRST IS KATHLEEN MCLEOD. HI THERE.

MY NAME IS KATHY MCLEOD, AND I'M A 50 YEAR RESIDENT OF VINCENT STREET.

I'M ON THE CORNER OF VINCENT STREET AND VINCENT PARK, PRETTY MUCH THE EPICENTER OF SCHOOL DROP OFFS AND PICK UPS.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH 25 YEARS OF GOOD YEARS, BAD YEARS, DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE GATES ARE OPENED OR CLOSED.

WE HAVE VOTED FOR THREE SCHOOL BONDS NOW, WITH HOPEFULLY THE INTENT OF THE TRAFFIC BEING A BETTER FLOW OF TRAFFIC AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE TRAFFIC ACTUALLY BEGAN IN 1997, A LONG TIME AGO, WHEN THE GARNSEY L REDONDO THOROUGHFARE WAS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC AND STUDENT DROP OFFS WITH THAT ARTERY CLOSED IS WHEN WE STARTED GETTING THE TRAFFIC.

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, BUT THERE WAS STILL TRAFFIC.

THE RESIDENTS AT THAT TIME SAW THE POTENTIAL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SUFFERING WITH TRAFFIC AND DROP OFFS AND PARKING AND SO FORTH.

[00:55:08]

AND OF COURSE, OUR HOMES. WE'RE ONLY SEVEN HOMES ON THAT SMALL CUL DE SAC.

THE SMALL CUL DE SAC OF VINCENT PARK WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SOMETIMES.

PERSONALLY, FOR ME, OUR HOME WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST, THREE CARS, SCHOOL RELATED CARS COME AROUND THE CUL DE SAC AND LAND IN OUR BACKYARD WHEN ALMOST HITTING MY SON'S BEDROOM. SO I'M VERY I'VE BEEN VERY PROACTIVE ON THIS ISSUE, JUST OUT OF PROTECTING MY OWN FAMILY AND MY OWN HOME. AGAIN, WE'VE HAD GOOD YEARS, BAD YEARS.

WE WE REALLY FEEL THAT BY PUBLICIZING AND DESIGNATING VINCENT PARK AS A MAIN ENTRANCE, IT SO FAR, IT HASN'T WORKED VERY WELL MAINLY BECAUSE VINCENT STREET IS SO GRIDLOCKED.

AND WHEN YOU EGRESS IN AROUND THE CUL DE SAC AND OUT ONTO VINCENT STREET, IT'S JUST CREATING A BOTTLENECK.

YOU'RE BASICALLY GRIDLOCK AROUND THE CUL DE SAC, AND THE CARS ARE TRYING TO GET INTO GRIDLOCK ON VINCENT STREET, SO IT'S A BOTTLENECK THERE. AS FAR AS THE THE TRAFFIC STUDY, I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE WAS NO STUDY DONE ON VINCENT STREET, BUT WE ARE IN GRIDLOCK IN PEAK HOURS IN THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO I APPRECIATE RYAN. I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU'VE SPENT TALKING WITH US.

WE HOPE THAT THE SCHOOL WILL EVENTUALLY GET A DROP OFF AND PICK UP ZONE ON CAMPUS, OR AT LEAST IN AN AREA WHERE THEY'RE AWAY FROM OUR HOMES SO THAT WE CAN LIVE OUR HOME, LIVE IN OUR HOMES IN PEACE AND QUIET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE LIVING BY A SCHOOL I DID.

I DID SOME RESEARCH ALSO. THERE'S A LOT OF SCHOOLS AROUND THE NATION THAT ARE THE SCHOOLS.

TIME. ACTUALLY OPEN UP PART OF THEIR CAMPUS, ONLY DURING PEAK HOURS TO ALLOW FOR DROP OFFS AND PICK UPS.

AND THEY ALSO PARTNER WITH CHURCHES AND SO FORTH TO UTILIZE THOSE PARKING AREAS DURING PEAK HOURS.

SO I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT DOWN THE ROAD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT CARD IS JOHN SIMMONS. SIMMONS.

HI. MY NAME IS JOHN SIMMONS. I LIVE ON VINCENT PARK, AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE EVERYTHING KATHY SAID.

I'VE LIVED THERE NOW FOR ALMOST 35 YEARS. I ALSO, IF IT WASN'T FOR MY CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE A QUARTER TON TRUCK FROM THE SCHOOL HAD A PARK IN THE PARK BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR HIM TO PARK.

THE BRAKES RELEASE AND CAME ROLLING IN AND I HAD MY LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD AT THE TIME.

SHE'S MUCH OLDER NOW. SITTING THERE EATING, AND IT WOULD HAVE WENT RIGHT THROUGH OUR HOUSE.

IT WRECKED MY CAR, TOTALLY. BUT IT SAVED MY DAUGHTER.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO ON IN VINCENT PARK.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THINGS ARE WORKING WELL.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THEY'RE NOT WORKING THAT WELL. IT'S HISTORICALLY, IT WAS THE CENTER OF REDONDO BEACH VINCENT PARK. IF YOU KNOW VINCENT PARK, THE OVAL, THEY HAD THE RADIUS, THE LAMP OF LEARNING.

THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY BEHIND IT. IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY INTERESTING. AND IT WASN'T MADE FOR CARS COMING THROUGH.

IT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE OLD DAYS, 1887 CAPTAIN AINSWORTH WAS THE GUY WHO DREW UP THE PLANS.

IT WAS ALL FOR HORSES, HORSES AND CARRIAGES. AND NOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST TRYING TO LIVE A LIFE WHERE IF I WANT TO ACCESS MY HOUSE, I CAN COME IN AND DRIVE THROUGH IF YOU GO THERE THERE'S.

IF THERE'S NOT THE LAW OFFICER THERE WHEN THE LAW OFFICERS THERE, THAT WORKS PRETTY WELL.

EVERYONE LISTENS, BUT IF NOT, THEY'LL JUST PULL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

THEY'LL STOP, HOLD UP TRAFFIC, LET THEIR KIDS SLOWLY WALK DOWN, YOU KNOW, LOWER THE PANTS SLOWER TO WALK NOWADAYS, AND THEY DON'T HURRY TO GET IN THE CARS. AND WE'RE SITTING THERE AND THE TRAFFIC IT ALSO VINCENT STREET, WHICH VINCENT PARK IS OFF OF. ALSO AT PROSPECT THERE'S ANOTHER SCHOOL.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, VEHICLES COMING UP AND DOWN VINCENT STREET.

IT'S JUST NOT ON THE NORTH SIDE. IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE, ALL SOUTH REDONDO SOUTH OF THE SCHOOL IN REDONDO.

SOUTH REDONDO THEY DROP OFF VINCENT STREET. THEY DON'T COME UP AND AROUND.

THEY COME INTO OUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE SCHOOL, TOO, I MEAN, I HATE TO SAY THIS,

[01:00:02]

YOU COULD SPRAY IT VERY EASY. SOMEONE'S REALLY GOT TO LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC.

SOMEONE WAS HURT ONE TIME. I WAS ON NEWS AT LA NEWS AT ABOUT 10:00 NEWS TALKING TO THEM WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL BEFORE.

SAY SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE EVENTUALLY.

THIS IS ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR AT THE SCHOOL? WE GOT TO REALLY THINK ABOUT HOW TO INTEGRATE THE SCHOOL WITH THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO PLEASE HELP US OUT ON THAT. TIME. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP THAT WE THAT YOU GAVE US LAST.

THANK YOU, JOHN. THANK YOU. NEXT CARD IS DESLIE.

HI. SO I'M ANOTHER VINCENT PARK RESIDENT. FIRST OF ALL, RYAN, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT HERE AND SPEAKING ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, I'VE LIVED HERE FOR ON VINCENT PARK FOR 28 YEARS. I'VE SEEN THE GATE LOCKED. I'VE SEEN CARS, JUST, YOU KNOW, TEACHERS OUT THERE DIRECTING CARS DOWN VINCENT STREET BECAUSE THERE'S, AS JOHN SAID, THERE'S MIDDLE SCHOOL, THERE'S THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN WE'VE GOT PEOPLE TRYING TO GET TO WORK.

SO EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO GET TO PROSPECT OR PCH.

SO YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL IS 56 ACRES. I MEAN IT BLEW MY MIND WHEN I LOOKED THAT UP.

IT'S LIKE 56 ACRES. SO THE IDEA THAT THE SCHOOL IS OPEN TO HAVING A DROP OFF ON SCHOOL PROPERTY BECAUSE I ALSO LOOKED UP TODAY ALL THE THE BONDS THAT WERE PASSED.

2008 MEASURE C 165 MILLION 2012 MEASURE Q 63 MILLION 2024 MEASURE S $278,000,486 MILLION HAS COME FROM TAXPAYERS TO THE SCHOOLS TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

PLUS, SOMEHOW, MIRACULOUSLY, I THINK KATHY WAS MENTIONING THE STREETS ON EL REDONDO, BUT IT'S SEA HAWK WAY NOW.

THAT USED TO GO RIGHT THROUGH. SO THAT WAS PARALLEL TO PROSPECT AND PCH.

FRANCISCA USED TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE SCHOOL GOT THEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILLION TWO STREETS ARE WORTH.

BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THE CONFLICTS HAPPEN BECAUSE THE SCHOOL HASN'T UP TO THIS POINT, DONE ENOUGH OR WORKED ENOUGH TO COME TO THE TABLE AND SAY, OKAY, WE'LL OPEN THESE STREETS FOR ONE HOUR IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT. SO THESE POOR PARENTS WHO, YOU KNOW, DOING DROP OFF AND THEN TRYING TO GET TO WORK OR GET ON PCH OR GET ON PROSPECT.

IT'S A BIG AREA TO DRIVE AROUND. AND THE CONFLICTS HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE START PARKING ACROSS DRIVEWAYS AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET TO WORK.

I MEAN, ON THE DIAMOND STREET, YEAH, THEY HAVE A MASS OF OF TRAFFIC IN THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON, BUT WE HAVE IT IN THE EVENINGS. WE HAVE ALL THE SPORTS FIELDS, WE HAVE PARIS MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE HAVE THE WEEKENDS. SO I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HIGH SCHOOL DOING SOMETHING ON FRANCISCA.

I FEEL LIKE IT'LL TAKE RELEASE THE PRESSURE. YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

AND I THINK THE THE TAXPAYERS YOU KNOW, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SCHOOL WORK WITH US.

IT'S A LOT OF MONEY. THANK YOU. MARK.

HI, I'M MARK MERCIER. I LIVE ON VINCENT PARK, AND I ATTENDED THE MEETING THAT RYAN WAS AT LAST WEEK.

VERY GOOD. I MEAN, I COULD TELL YOU WERE LISTENING BY LISTENING TO WHAT YOU PUT UP HERE TODAY AND HOW YOU PRESENTED IT.

WHAT I'M SAYING RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST REPETITIOUS.

IT'S REDUNDANT, REALLY, BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD IT FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE AREA.

THAT LITTLE STREET, VINCENT PARK, IT WAS DESIGNED BACK IN THE 1800S FOR A HORSE AND BUGGY OR.

AND WENT TO MODEL T'S, AND YOU CAN PARK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE STREET, WHICH MAKES IT PRETTY NARROW TO COME THROUGH THERE.

IT'S PERMIT PARKING, BUT THAT PERMIT PARKING IS PRETTY MUCH A YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IGNORE IT.

BASICALLY, IT'S LIKE THE SAME CARS YOU SEE OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL THE POLICE COME OUT TRAFFIC CONTROL.

[01:05:08]

REDONDO BEACH I'LL HAVE TO TELL YOU, I'VE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF THEM AND THEY'RE FABULOUS, FABULOUS GUYS. BUT IF THEY'RE NOT THERE, IT'S A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS THEY SEE NO ONE THERE, THE NEW GAME IS THEY KNOW THE OFFICER USUALLY GETS OUT THERE, SAY A SCHOOL LETS OUT GENERALLY AT 3:30.

OFFICER WILL GET THERE AT TEN AFTER THREE OR SO.

WELL, THEN EVERYONE STARTS ARRIVING AT ABOUT 25 AFTER THREE WE'RE JUST REALLY GETS CROWDED.

THEY'LL PARK OVER OUR DRIVEWAYS. WEST IS OUT THERE.

HIS DRIVEWAY, MY DRIVEWAY. I'VE SEEN A GUY HIT OUT THERE.

LITERALLY. I WAS OUTSIDE WHEN THE GUY HIT SOMEONE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THIS IS A FACT. THIS IS. BUT WE'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS.

THIS IS NOTHING NEW. I'M JUST. I'M GLAD THAT.

HONESTLY. EXCELLENT. I COULD TELL THAT WE'RE ALL SINCERE HERE.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT SAFE AND RIGHT FOR EVERYONE.

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MARK.

WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF ZOOM COMMENTS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THOSE FIRST.

OR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE AUDIENCE FIRST. DO WE HAVE ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THE DISCUSSION OF DIAMOND STREET RESTRIPING BETWEEN PCH PROSPECT AND REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS? THANK YOU. KAREN. HI, MY NAME IS KAREN COREY.

WE LIVE RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF HELBERTA AND DIAMOND.

ONE HOUSE IN FROM DIAMOND. AND I KNOW HELBERTA 'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, DISCUSSED MANY TIMES AND YOU KNOW ABOUT MAKING IT ONE WAY AND DOING THIS OR DOING THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT THE SIGNS HAVE GONE UP ON THE CORNER OF CARNELIAN AND HELBERTA , WHERE YOU CAN'T TURN LEFT AT A CERTAIN TIME OR WHATEVER.

AND THE COPS COME AND SIT IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WAIT FOR CARS TO COME DOWN OR WHATEVER.

BUT I THE CONCERN THAT THAT I HAVE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE I GO TO THE POOL IN THE MORNING AND SWIM FROM 7 TO 8. WHEN I COME HOME, I CAN'T GET HOME.

I CANNOT GET HOME BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY IS BLOCKED.

THE CORNER OF HELBERTA IS JUST LOADED WITH CARS DUMPING, YOU KNOW, PARENTS DUMPING OFF THEIR KIDS THERE AND PEOPLE COMING DOWN HELBERTA AND THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, COPS AREN'T THERE ALL THE TIME SO THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

AND YOU KNOW, I LOVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I LOVE THE WHOLE PLACE.

BUT THIS HAS JUST GOTTEN SO MUCH OUT OF CONTROL.

IT'S LIKE, I CAN'T EVEN HAVE MY OWN PRIVATE LIFE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THE SCHOOL DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TAKING CARE OF ALL OF THIS. AND I'M LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE SCHOOL OR WHATEVER, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TO HAVE DROP OFF PLACES AND NOT ALLOW THE PARENTS TO DROP THE KIDS OFF ON THE CORNER. I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS. YOU KNOW, I COME DOWN DIAMOND IN THE MORNING IF I'M IF I CAN GET DOWN IT AND THERE ARE LIKE TEN CARS THAT ARE ALIGNED BEFORE ON DIAMOND BETWEEN.

WHAT IS IT? IRENA H I YEAH. IRENA AND HELBERTA THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN YOU CAN'T EVEN GET DOWN THE STREET.

SO I'M JUST HOPING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO DROP THEIR KIDS OFF ON CAMPUS AND DO WHATEVER SO THAT THE RESIDENTS. AND I'M NOT SHAMING, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE A LIFE THAT WE WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT BEING IMPACTED BY, YOU KNOW, CRAZY PARENTS THAT WANT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, KAREN. DO WE. YEAH. WELCOME.

COME ON UP. HELLO. HI. MY NAME IS ANGELA HOPE, AND I'M NOT PREPARED TO SPEAK, BUT I'M UP HERE ANYWAYS. I LIVE ON THE CORNER OF DIAMOND AND FRANCISCA, AND I'VE BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 11 YEARS. I MET MOST OF MY WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS AND A LOT THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS WHILE I WAS OUTSIDE WORKING IN THE YARD.

AND THEN THEY DON'T SEE ME OUT ANYMORE, AND THEY WONDER WHY.

[01:10:05]

THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC YOU KNOW, I GET IT. YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE, BUT I THINK IT'S THE VIOLATIONS, THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS THAT GO THAT JUST CONTINUE TO MOUNT.

IT'S PRETTY SICKENING TO SIT AT THE CORNER. JACK LIVES ACROSS THE STREET AND SEE IT IS JUST NOT A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY.

IT'S NOT A COUPLE OF TIMES AN HOUR, BUT IT'S MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN A 15 MINUTE BLOCK.

SO I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE. THAT SAID, IT SEEMS LIKE THE SCHOOL'S PROBLEM IS BEING IMPOSED ONTO THE CITY TO SOLVE.

SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO, BECAUSE I CONCUR TOO WITH THE LAST SPEAKER.

I FEEL LIKE I'M A PRISONER IN MY OWN HOME. I CAN'T BE OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE LITTLE BIT OF OUTDOOR SPACE THAT I HAVE AND THE OUTDOOR TIME, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW OF ALL THE ISSUES AND YOU'RE AFRAID TO LEAVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME BACK, THERE'S NO PARKING BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE.

SO I LIVE ON A STREET THAT HAS PERMIT ONLY, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

PEOPLE BREAK THE RULES. NOW I USED TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO ANOTHER SCHOOL YEARS AGO, SO WHEN I BOUGHT THIS HOUSE NEXT TO A SCHOOL, I UNDERSTAND I BOUGHT INTO THE TRAFFIC, THE CIRCULATION TRAFFIC.

THE PART THAT I DIDN'T COUNT ON IS THE ENDLESS EVENTS.

SO THERE'S NO REST FROM THE SCHOOL FOR SOME REASON.

I THINK IT'S PROBABLY UNIQUE TO THE SCHOOL, BUT THEY'RE JUST NEVER ENDING EVENTS SO WE DON'T GET WEEKNIGHTS OFF, WE DON'T GET WEEKENDS OFF. AND THE PARKING SITUATION JUST CONTINUES.

SO NOT QUITE SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE OR WHEN WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS.

I FULLY SUPPORT AND APPRECIATE THE BUFFER PROTECTED BIKE LANE.

BUT I'M PUTTING THE COMMENT THAT I THINK WE DO NEED TO PROVIDE EXTRA GUIDANCE FOR THE CYCLISTS TO FOLLOW THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, THE BASIC TRAFFIC LAWS. RIGHT. AND PERHAPS AGAIN, I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES BEFORE, THE SCHOOL AND THE CITY COUNCIL AGREED TO POST NO BIKE SIGN ALL AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S ABOUT A MILE LONG FROM DIAMOND TO DEL AMO TO VINCENT.

AND IT'S NOT ABOUT NORTH VERSUS SOUTH. IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS TO BE.

IT'S THE RESIDENTS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

WE ARE THE TAX PAYERS. BUT FOR SOME REASON, WHEN THE NO BIKE SIGN IS POSTED ALL ALONG THE SCHOOL, NOTHING WAS POSTED ON THE HOUSE SIDE. SO THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TIME. AT LEAST IN THE HOT SPOTS. THANK YOU. I GOT MY PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT.

NOT GOOD. THANK YOU.

HI, JACK. COME ON UP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

ARE YOU SURE THIS TIME? ABSOLUTELY. LET'S GO JACK.

THANK YOU. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME. WELL, I THINK MY NEIGHBOR SAID MOST OF IT, BUT OTHER THAN THE STOP SIGN POSSIBLY PUT ON GRATUITO. AND I COULDN'T QUITE MAKE OUT ALL THE RESTRIPING YOU'RE GOING TO DO ON DIAMOND.

AS FAR AS THE BIKE LANES. BUT IF YOU GO DOWN DIAMOND COMING DOWN THE HILL WESTWARD.

THEY CHANGED THEY STRAIGHTENED IT A LITTLE BIT.

SO YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT AND RIGHT THERE ON GRATUITO.

THEY HAVE TO TURN LEFT A LITTLE BIT. AND I THINK THAT DISTRACTS THE PEOPLE.

THEY'RE THEY'RE TURNING TOWARDS PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND THE BIKE LANE, IT IT HAS ONE STRIPE. A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THEY DROPPED THE KIDS OFF IN THE MORNING. THEY'LL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE KIDS JUMP OUT.

AND PEOPLE IN A HURRY TO GET TO STARBUCKS OR TRY TO GO AROUND THEM AND DON'T BLOW THROUGH THAT STOP SIGN.

THEY THINK THAT'S ANOTHER TRAFFIC LANE. IF THEY COULD DO THAT DOUBLE BIKE LANE

[01:15:02]

PLUS PEOPLE TURNING TO GO TO JOE'S. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN.

AS FAR AS RESTRIPING. THERE'S PROBABLY SOME OTHER THINGS THAT MY NEIGHBORS HAVE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT ON THAT STREET, BUT THAT IN THE PARKING LOT, IF YOU CONSIDER LOOKING INTO THAT, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, JACK. DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENT? PUBLIC COMMENT FOR DISCUSSION OF DIAMOND STREET RESTRIPING BETWEEN PCH AND PROSPECT AND REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? ANY MORE COMMENTS? I HAVE ON THE ECOMMENTS SIDE, THERE ARE THREE ECOMMENTS TWO IN SUPPORT OF THE RECOMMENDATION AND ONE NEUTRAL. AND WE ALSO HAVE TWO HANDS RAISED ON ZOOM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THOSE.

SURE. GRACE, YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF. HI, THIS IS DOCTOR GRACE PANG AGAIN ON I WANT TO SAY THAT I SUPPORT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS.

I'M VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE OF PROTECTED BIKE LANE AND THE LEFT TURN LANE ONTO SEA HAWK.

IN FACT, I LIKE THE LEFT TURN LANE FROM DIAMOND TO SEA HAWK SO MUCH, I WONDER IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO INSTALL ONE AT BERYL AND FLAGLER, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE KIDS ARE MAKING LEFT TURNS THERE AS WELL.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF ADDING MORE BIKE PARKING AND SPREADING IT OUT AROUND THE CAMPUS TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONGESTION AS KIDS ARE TRYING TO GET TO AND FROM THE ONLY BIKE PLACE, THE ONLY BIKE PARKING AREA.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE A POINT THAT THE MORE WE, YOU KNOW, THE MORE WE GET THE KIDS TO MODE SHIFT FROM BEING DRIVEN OR DRIVING THEMSELVES, THE BETTER IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE COMMUNITY AROUND THERE, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE THE CAR TRAFFIC IS. AND IF WE COULD JUST GET YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT IT'S DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET CAR PARKING, BUT IF WE CAN GET THE KIDS INTO TO RIDE A BIKE INSTEAD OF OR RIDE A BUS INSTEAD OF DRIVING OR BEING DRIVEN THERE, IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR ALL MODES. AND FINALLY, I WANT TO MAKE A PLUG FOR REDONDO TO JOIN THE GOPASS, THE REGIONAL BIKE PATH, THE REGIONAL BUS PASS FOR STUDENTS.

REDONDO IS KIND OF AN OUTLIER IN THAT WE DID NOT JOIN THE GOPASS PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS KIDS TO GET A FREE BIKE PASS THAT WORKS ON LIKE METRO 232, TORRANCE 13, BEACH CITIES TRANSIT 102, ALL ALL THREE TRANSIT AGENCIES PARTICIPATE IN THE GOPASS PROGRAM.

SO IF THE KID IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BELONGED TO THE GOPASS PROGRAM, THEN THE KIDS COULD RIDE ALL THREE BUS SYSTEMS FOR FREE, AND THAT WOULD ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONGESTION ON BEACH CITIES BEACH CITIES TRANSIT 102.

AND IT WOULD ALSO FOR THE KIDS THAT AREN'T COMFORTABLE RIDING A BICYCLE, MAYBE THEY COULD TAKE THE BUS THE METRO.

AND SO THAT WOULD REALLY IMPROVE THE CONGESTION AROUND THE CITY.

AND I AM THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS LA COUNTY NATURAL RESOURCES DIRECTOR AND ALSO THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS BEACH CITIES NATURAL RESOURCES DIRECTOR.

IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE GOPASS PROGRAM AND GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO JUST GO TO THE BEACH CITIES LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS WEBSITE AND SEND ME AN EMAIL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

BRIANNA, YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF. HELLO. HI. COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS BRIANNA EGAN. I LIVE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL.

[01:20:03]

BUT I THINK THAT THIS STUDY AND THE MANY DISCUSSIONS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKSHOPS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD HAVE BEEN REALLY PRODUCTIVE. AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE REPORT AND THE RESULTS OF THIS MOVING FORWARD SO QUICKLY.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO PUT IN MY SUPPORT FOR THE STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS PRESENTED HERE.

AND I THINK YOU KNOW, OUR PUBLIC WORKS STAFF AS WELL AS OUR CITY COUNCIL LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE THREE E'S, WHICH AS WE KNOW IS EDUCATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND THEN ALSO ENGINEERING WHEN IT COMES TO BICYCLE SAFETY.

AND SO THIS PROJECT IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF ENGINEERING LOOKING TOGETHER AND LOOKING AT STUDIES OF TRAFFIC COUNTS AND HOW WE CAN REDESIGN OUR STREETS FOR SAFETY. AND SO IN PARTICULAR I JUST WANT TO PUT IN MY SUPPORT FOR THE PARKING PROTECTED BIKE LANES THAT ARE ON THIS PROJECT.

I THINK IT REALLY HELPS TO THINK ABOUT PUTTING EVERY MODE OF TRAVEL INTO ITS OWN DEDICATED LANES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH MIXING OF BIKES AND CARS SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE TRAVELING AND ALSO HAS A SAFE WAY TO TRAVEL, BECAUSE I THINK WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT HERE IS TO REALLY KEEP IN MIND THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS ON BIKES.

IN ADDITION TO, YOU KNOW, PARENTS AND CARS AND STUDENTS IN CARS AND GETTING DROPPED OFF IN THAT SORT OF THING PEOPLE ON BIKES ARE INHERENTLY MORE VULNERABLE ON THE ROAD. AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE PROTECTION FROM LIKE, PHYSICAL BARRIERS OR WITH PARKING LANES.

AND SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU KNOW, THE POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS PROJECT TO HAVE PARKING PROTECTED LANES ACROSS THE FULL CONFIGURATION. SO BOTH SIDES OF DIAMOND I THINK THAT WOULD BE LIKE PROVIDING THE FULL, THE FULLEST AMOUNT OF SAFETY FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AND THEN SECONDLY I DO WANT TO KIND OF ADDRESS SOME OF THE PARKING CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP.

SO KIND OF HOLISTICALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS EVERY STUDENT ON A BIKE OR ON A BUS IS ONE LESS CAR ON THE ROAD.

SO THE MORE THAT WE SUPPORT MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION, THE THE LESS CAR TRAFFIC WE WILL SEE.

BUT THEN WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE REALLY FINDING PARKING SOLUTIONS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF, SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST THAT I THINK WOULD BE GOOD TO REVISIT WOULD BE HAVING PARKING AGREEMENTS THAT ARE SHARED WITH OTHER SPACES, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, SEACOAST CHURCH, WHICH IS JUST A BLOCK AWAY FROM REDONDO UNION IS INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY LEASING PARKING SPACES TO THE SCHOOL DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO I THINK THAT SHOULD BE EXPLORED. AND THEN FINALLY, I ALSO WANT TO SHARE MY SUPPORT FOR BEACH CITIES TRANSIT TO ADD MORE EXPRESS ROUTES SO THAT STUDENTS HAVE MORE OPTIONS TO TAKE THE BUS TO AND FROM SCHOOL.

TIME. THANK YOU, BRIANNA. DEVIN, YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ECHO WHAT GRACE AND BRIANNA SAID.

I THINK THEY SAID IT VERY WELL, BUT YEAH, I THINK THAT HAVING A AS MANY PROTECTED BIKE LANES AS POSSIBLE HERE IS REALLY GOOD, AND IT MAKES IT SO THAT MORE STUDENTS CAN, CAN BIKE SAFELY TO SCHOOL WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING HIT BY A CAR.

WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT. AND IN PARTICULAR, IF YOU DON'T DESIGN THE ROAD IN SUCH A WAY THAT A CAR HAS TO CROSS OVER A BIKE LANE TO PARK THAT IS VERY GOOD, BECAUSE IF CARS DO HAVE TO CROSS OVER A BIKE LANE TO PARK, THEN THAT CREATES A NATURAL CONFLICT POINT WHERE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE IN TRAFFIC, THEY'RE TRYING TO PARK AND THEY, THEY CAN EASILY ACCIDENTALLY HIT SOMEONE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO HAVING AS PROTECTED BIKE LANES AS POSSIBLE IS GOOD.

AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF DOING PROTECTED PARKING, PROTECTED BIKE LANES.

SO THAT WAS IT. WAYNE CRAIG, YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS.

MY NAME IS WAYNE CRAIG. I'M CURRENTLY SERVING ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND I WANTED TO BRING UP A POINT TO YOU GUYS TONIGHT THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF, BUT JUST AROUND THE CORNER ON VINCENT AND PCH EARLIER THIS YEAR WE HAD A PROJECT THAT CAME IN FRONT OF US FOR ABOUT 38 CONDOMINIUMS WHICH WOULD OBVIOUSLY ADD A LOT MORE CARS AND TRAFFIC ON THERE. SO JUST AS A KIND OF MAYBE A WARNING TO THE FOLKS WHO I SAW SPEAKING VERY ELOQUENTLY ON VINCENT AND VINCENT PARK. YOUR PROBLEM WILL PROBABLY GET WORSE.

[01:25:01]

BECAUSE IT DOES SEEM LIKE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, THEY HAVE BEEN ABANDONED AND HAVING TO INCUR A LOT OF INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO LIVE NEXT TO THE SCHOOL. IT'S UNFORTUNATE. I ALSO FIND IT KIND OF IN WITH REGARD TO THE DROP OFF ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT MAY WORK OUT. I DRIVE BY THAT STREET ALL THE TIME.

I HAVE FRIENDS OF MINE WHO WORK AT THE SCHOOL AND THEY TELL ME THAT IS A PROBLEM.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU'VE ADDRESSED AND THAT WILL PROBABLY CORRECT A LOT OF THOSE SITUATIONS.

BUT THE IRONY IS THAT I THINK SOME OF THE SPEAKERS THAT JUST SPOKE A MOMENT AGO, BEFORE, THEY KEEP ON TALKING ABOUT BIKE TRAVEL AND ALL THESE THINGS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ADVOCATING FOR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CITY, WHICH IS JUST GOING TO EXACERBATE OUR PARKING AND TRAFFIC PROBLEMS EVEN FURTHER.

SO I JUST FIND IT IRONIC THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY MENTIONING THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS, WHEN IN FACT, THEY'RE CREATING THE PROBLEM THAT THEY'RE ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO SOLVE THROUGH A WAY THAT ISN'T REALLY VERY POSSIBLE.

BUT ANYWAY, JUST IN THE FUTURE I THINK YOU NEED TO CONSIDER JUST THE IMPACT OF THAT PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO GO UP AROUND THE CORNER.

IT WILL BE COMING UP SOON. AND I THINK WE MAY BE REVISITING TRAFFIC AND OTHER ISSUES ON VINCENT AVENUE AND VINCENT PARK AND VINCENT STREET.

AND IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. THANKS. THANK YOU, WAYNE.

THERE ARE NO OTHER HANDS RAISED ON ZOOM. OKAY.

YES, TO THE PODIUM PLEASE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THE QUESTION IS ABOUT COMMERCIAL TRUCK TRAFFIC USING DEL AMO AND CUTTING THROUGH DEL AMO DIAMOND AS A SHORTCUT. WHAT IS THE PLAN TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLE CUTTING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE, AS WELL AS RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, TRAVELING THROUGH DIAMOND.

I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP OUR FOCUS ON THE AGENDA ITEM.

WELL, THE PART OF THE SAFETY ON DIAMOND STREET, THAT'S MY QUESTION BECAUSE WE ARE ADDRESSING SAFETY RIGHT ON THE LOWER DIAMOND DEL AMO AREA. SO IF IT'S THERE ARE OTHER PLANS, THAT'S FINE.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT'S PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION.

I DIDN'T SEE IT IN THE PACKET. THIS ITEM DOES NOT TOUCH ABOUT TRUCK ROUTES.

THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC. YEAH. BUT AGAIN WE NEED A HOLISTIC SOLUTION.

WE CAN BRING THAT FOR FUTURE. WE ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SO DO WE HAVE ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT ON DISCUSSION FOR THE DIAMOND STREET RESTRIPING BETWEEN PCH AND PROSPECT AND REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS IMPROVEMENT.

ANY MORE ECOMMENTS? NO. ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

YEAH. THANK YOU RYAN, FOR THAT, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

YOU KNOW, I SAW I WAS LOOKING BACK AT THE PACKET.

AM I MISSING? WHAT, IF ANY MODIFICATIONS ARE HAPPENING ON VINCENT PARK? SO THEY'RE IN THE REPORT IT MENTIONS. CONVERTING THERE'S.

SO THERE'S TWO NON-COMPLIANT ADA SPACES SORT OF AT THE FRONT RIGHT AFTER THE PERMIT PARKING, THERE'S TWO ADA SPACES THAT ARE NON-COMPLIANT.

AND THEN ONE SPACE DOWN THERE IS IT'S MARKED POLICE PARKING ONLY.

BUT THE POLICE AREN'T USUALLY AWARE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T USE THAT SPOT.

AND SO WE PROPOSED TO CONVERT THOSE THREE INTO JUST A LONGER PICK UP DROP OFF ZONE DURING THOSE PICKUP DROP OFF HOURS AND, LIKE, MAYBE 1 TO 2 HOUR PARKING DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.

BUT THAT WASN'T FAVORABLY RECEIVED AT THE COMMUNITY MEETING.

OKAY. BUT, I MEAN, SO IT'S IT'S REPURPOSING TWO EXISTING PARKING SPACES TO SOMETHING ELSE.

CORRECT. THE TWO NON-COMPLIANT ADA SPACES AND THE ONE PARKING SPACE GOT IT INTO A SORT OF A SINGLE ZONE.

AND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EVEN. ANY CHANGES ON VINCENT PARK CAN BE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE PROJECT SPECIFICALLY ON DIAMOND STREET WITH THE RESURFACING.

CORRECT? OKAY. YEAH. GOT IT. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, WHICH IS YOU KNOW, THE PARKING PROTECTED BIKE LANE.

SO, YOU KNOW ADMITTEDLY, I'M A FATHER OF A HIGH SCHOOLER, RIGHT? I HAVE A 10TH GRADE SON AT REDONDO, AND I HAVE AN EIGHTH GRADER WHO WILL BE STARTING THERE NEXT YEAR.

WHO MY 10TH GRADER RIDES HIS BIKE THERE. IT FILLS MY HEART TO SEE, YOU KNOW, 300 KIDS ON BIKES GOING TO SCHOOL VERSUS, YOU KNOW, PARENTS DROPPING THEM OFF. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IN ONE SCHOOL YEAR IT'S ALMOST DOUBLED, ACCORDING TO YOUR DATA. IT'S GONE UP, GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY.

[01:30:02]

YOU DO SEE THE LARGE PLATOONS OF BICYCLISTS RIDING.

MY QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, THE SEGMENT ON THE EASTBOUND SIDE OF DIAMOND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE INTO A PARKING PROTECTED BIKE LANE? SEEING THE BEHAVIOR OF A LOT OF THE STUDENTS WHO DO LIKE TO RIDE IN PLATOONS.

HAVE YOU SEEN, LIKE, ANY KIND OF REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF PARKING PROTECTED BIKE LANES WITH THOSE LARGE GROUPS OF BIKERS, LIKE IF THEY'LL ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO USE THAT? OR WOULD THEY PREFER THAN TO JUST TAKE THE WHOLE LANE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE TOO CONSTRAINED IN A PARKING PROTECTED BIKE LANE? YEAH, IT'S HARD TO SAY BECAUSE THE PAST TWO YEARS, MY DAYTIME EXPERIENCE IS HERE.

[LAUGHTER] YEAH, I'M NOT GOING TO OTHER CITIES AND WATCHING THERE.

I HAVEN'T SPENT THAT TIME DOING THAT. IT'S YOU KNOW, IT IS A FAIRLY UNIQUE COMMUNITY WHERE WE HAVE THAT HIGH LEVEL OF BIKE TRAFFIC.

AND I'M TRYING TO THINK OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SANTA MONICA MIGHT BE ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE YOU SEE THAT HEAVY BIKE TRAFFIC.

BUT THEY DO HAVE PROTECTED BIKE LANES LEADING UP TO THEIR SCHOOL, AND THEY HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE, BUT I JUST HAVE NOT OBSERVED WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

I THINK WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW. IT'S I THINK I THINK MORE CITIES WOULD WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUR BIKE, OUR AMOUNT OF BIKE TRAFFIC TO SCHOOLS. MAYBE WE'LL BE THE CASE STUDY.

YEAH, IN A WAY, WE KIND OF ARE WITH THE AMOUNT OF STOP SIGNS WE HAVE WITH THE VERY PEAK HEAVY BIKE TRAFFIC THAT WE SEE.

YOU KNOW, WE COUNT PROBABLY 5 TO 600 BIKES A DAY FLOWING THROUGH THAT BERYL FLAGLER AREA.

YEAH. AND IT'S QUITE A SIGHT TO SEE. AND, YOU KNOW, ARGUABLY, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TO NETHERLANDS BEFORE WHERE YOU SEE THAT TYPE OF BIKE TRAFFIC AND IT IS A BIT CHAOTIC THERE TOO. I DON'T THINK ANY COUNTRY HAS REALLY SOLVED THAT THE CHAOTICNESS.

IT'S JUST THE WHEN YOU RIDE A BIKE, YOU DON'T WANT TO STOP.

YOU KNOW, STARTING AND STOPPING TAKES EXTRA ENERGY.

AND THE MECHANICS OF RIDING A BIKE DOESN'T LEND ITSELF AS MUCH TO, LIKE PUSHING A PEDAL ON A CAR.

AND SO THERE'S SOME INNATE ISSUES WITH THAT. WAS THAT SEGMENT KEEPING IT CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER SEGMENT OF HAVING LIKE MAYBE A BUFFERED BIKE LANE? WAS THAT ALSO AN OPTION INSTEAD OF THE PARKING PROTECTED FOR THAT EASTERN SEGMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF DIAMOND? YEAH. SO, THE PROJECT TEAM CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, ALL TYPES OF BIKE LANE OPTIONS.

BUT THEY FOUND THAT, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST AGAINST THE SCHOOL, IT WAS IT WAS AN EASY SOLUTION TO PUT A PROTECTED BIKE LANE BECAUSE THERE ARE LESS INTERSECTING STREETS. AND AS YOU SEE, AS YOU GO EAST OF DEL AMO, THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO START TAKING AWAY THAT PARKING TO PRESERVE THAT VISIBILITY FROM WHEN THAT BIKE LANE CROSSES INTERSECTIONS. BUT BECAUSE THE PARKING DEMAND THERE IS SO MUCH LOWER, WE FELT COMFORTABLE PROPOSING THAT AS A SOLUTION.

WHEREAS AS YOU GO ON THE ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE AND THANKFULLY IT'S DOWNHILL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE SPEED FOR THE CYCLIST.

THEN THAT'S WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING THE BUFFERED BIKE LANE INSTEAD.

YEAH. SO AS SHOWN ON THE MAP ON THE SCREEN, IT'S THE DIFFERENT TREATMENTS FOR DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

GOT IT. THANKS. I'LL LET SOMEONE ELSE GO. I HAVE SOME OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT.

OH. GO AHEAD. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. YEAH. I NOTICED IN THE REPORT THAT IT SAID THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS WAS ON VINCENT STREET. MAJORITY OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON DIAMOND STREET.

IS THERE ANY CAUSE TO WHY WE DIDN'T GET MORE PUBLIC FEEDBACK ON DIAMOND? UNCLEAR. WE SENT, YOU KNOW, AS, AS AS WE SHOWED IN THE IN THE NOTICING FOR THIS ITEM.

MOST OF THE POSTCARDS ACTUALLY WENT ON THE DIAMOND SIDE.

YEAH. SO SO WE ARE SORT OF BECAUSE WE'RE PROPOSING MORE CHANGES THERE.

WE DID NOTICE MORE THERE. AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE DONE THAT NOTICING.

I MEAN, IN GENERAL, I THINK THE IDEAS ARE GREAT.

I WOULD SAY THAT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ONE PANACEA FOR THIS, RIGHT? IT'S GOING TO BE A MANY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO HELP ALLEVIATE THIS.

SO I APPLAUD IT. AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT TOOL IS GOING TO END UP JUST STARTING THE FINAL DESIGN PHASE.

YEAH. IF WE GET THAT GO AHEAD FROM COUNCIL THAT THIS WE WANT TO CONTINUE ON THIS PROJECT.

WE'LL PROVIDE A MTP FOR THEM TO AND AND THEY ARE BUDGETED TO COMPLETE THE DESIGN FOR THIS.

OKAY. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. I'LL LET EVERYONE GET AROUND IT.

COMMISSIONER BEELI. NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

COMMISSIONER NAFISSI. JUST A STRONGLY OPINIONATED STATEMENT.

YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THAT FOR ME. UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW, I'M DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO THE SCHOOL, AND I'VE BEEN VERY CANDID ABOUT SHARING MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CITY WITH THE SCHOOL, BECAUSE THE CITY HASN'T BEEN PROACTIVE TO REALLY WORK WITH THE SCHOOL, TO ADDRESS MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT TO US.

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I UNDERSTAND A COMMITTEE WAS FORMED WHERE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS SAT ON THAT COMMITTEE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

NO NOTES, NO MINUTES. NO UPDATES HAVE EVER BEEN BROUGHT TO THIS COMMISSION ABOUT THE THE OUTCOME OF THOSE COMMITTEES.

[01:35:07]

SO ON ONE HAND, YOU KNOW, I HOPE THAT IF THERE IS ANY MEETINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE MEETING AND HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS TAKE THAT TIME TO REPORT OUT TO US IN THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY AS THEY COME FOR US, EVERY SINGLE MEETING, THERE IS ONE PERSON IN FRONT OF US THAT SHARES A CONCERN WITH TRAFFIC WITH SCHOOLS.

AND I LOOK AT THEM IN THE FACE AND PRETEND LIKE IT'S NEW.

BUT NO, WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION SEVERAL TIMES.

RIGHT? SO I WANT TO BE SOLUTION ORIENTED, OBVIOUSLY, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND COMING UP WITH THESE SOLUTIONS.

BUT WE ALSO OR NOT WE. BUT I REALLY ALSO FEEL LIKE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, AND THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN DO THAT ARE YOU IN THE AUDIENCE WHO CAN CONNECT WITH YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND YOUR BOARD MEMBERS? UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, SO WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY POLICY BODY OPPORTUNITIES HERE, BUT THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU IN THOSE SEATS, YOU GUYS HOLD THE POWER. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY TO YOU AS YOU LEAVE HERE AND WHATEVER DECISION COMES OUT IS TO COMMUNICATE TO YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND COMMUNICATE TO YOUR REDONDO BEACH SCHOOL MEMBERS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TRAFFIC.

AND OFTENTIMES, THE CITY PICKS UP ALL OF THE PIECES THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT.

AND WHILE YOU GUYS MOVE NEXT TO THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS MOVE NEXT TO A SCHOOL.

I LIVE NEXT TO A SCHOOL. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS WHERE THEY CANNOT BACK OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAY.

YOU KNOW, ALL THESE PROBLEMS THAT YOU GUYS ARE HAVING CONSISTENTLY. AND I GET IT. THERE'S EVENTS ALL EVERY DAY, ALL DAY LONG, ALL THE WEEKENDS. DURING THE WEEKDAYS IT'S A LOT AND YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING IN YOUR TIME.

SO I'M RAMBLING A LOT, BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO EMPOWER EACH ONE OF YOU.

BECAUSE WE ARE A DECISION, YOU KNOW, WE ONE VOTE HERE ONLY MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL.

THE CITY COUNCIL IS WHO HOLDS THE POWER IN THIS CITY.

AND YOU NEED YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, WHICH IS CHADWICK CASTLE, TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE SOME THINGS FORWARD.

SO I'M OFF OF MY BOAT. BUT THANK YOU, RYAN, FOR YOUR.

I CAN'T JESSE, YOU HAVE TO ASK THE CHAIR. SORRY, MISS CLOUD.

WE LIMIT PUBLIC COMMENT TO THE ONE TIME, THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.

PER ITEM. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. COMMENT. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

YEAH. RYAN, ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THE DESIGN OF SEA HAWK WAY RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. SO A BICYCLIST COMING DOWN HERE WILL HAVE TWO OPTIONS TO ENTER THE CAMPUS.

THEY CAN EITHER STAY IN THE BIKE LANE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE THE BIKE TURNING BOX IS AND THEN GO ACROSS, OR THEY CAN TRANSITION INTO THE BIKE LEFT TURN LANE, LEFT TURN.

SO THERE'S TWO OPTIONS FOR THEM. YES TWO OPTIONS. YEAH. AND HAVE THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO TRANSITION THOSE BIKES. WILL THOSE BE MOSTLY FOR THE ONES WHO ARE JUST USING THE LANE TO GET INTO THE. YEAH. SO SO I YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S ONCE THEY GET TO DEL AMO JUANITA THAT'S THEIR SORT OF OPTION TO START MERGING INTO THE THROUGH LANE.

AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE THAT EASY ACCESS TO THE LEFT TURN LANE.

THERE'S NO EASY SOLUTION TO THIS. THEY HAVE TO CROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET THERE.

WE ALSO CONSIDERED A TWO WAY CYCLE TRACK ON THE SCHOOL SIDE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF SCHOOLS LIKE TO SEE THAT, BUT WE JUST FOUND TOO MANY COMPLICATIONS OF HOW DO WE GET THAT EACH DIRECTION, BIKE TRAFFIC TO ONE SIDE OF THE STREET DIAGONALLY, AND THE PARKING IMPLICATIONS AT EACH OF THE STOP SIGNS WITH A TWO WAY CYCLE TRACK.

SO THIS IS SORT OF THE THE SUMMARY OF WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE BEST SOLUTION WAS, YOU KNOW, EITHER YOU STAY IN THE BIKE LANE AND YOU YIELD AND YOU CROSS LIKE, LIKE LIKE A BIKE CROSSWALK OF SORTS AT A RIGHT ANGLE.

OR YOU PERFORM THAT MERGE INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE, WHICH, WHICH IS ACTUALLY WHAT I THINK ALL THE STUDENTS ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.

THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE MOVING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE PROVIDING THAT SPECIFIC SPACE FOR THEM AND JUST BETTER ORGANIZING THAT THAT ENTRYWAY AND WHATEVER COMES OF THE PICKUP DROP OFF ON ON FRANCISCA.

THIS COULD ALSO BE A SUITABLE TREATMENT AT THAT INTERSECTION, BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO BIKE PARKING ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAMPUS.

AND SO SO THESE ARE SMALL DETAILS THAT I THINK, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WE'RE ON THE FOREFRONT OF IN TERMS OF THAT BLOCK BY BLOCK LEVEL, HOW DO WE GET BIKES FROM ONE PART OF THE STREET INTO A PARKING AREA? YEAH, IT'S AN EXCITING PROJECT. I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME OUT OF THE BOX THINKING AND SOME DESIGN.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING AND EXCITING TO SEE IT COME, COME TO LIFE.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD, YOU KNOW, MAINTENANCE CONTRACT INVOLVED TO KEEP THAT GREEN PAINT YOU KNOW, LOOKING NICE. IT'S A LOT, A LOT OF PAINT THERE. THE BIKE PARKING THAT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR EVEN FROM MY HIGH SCHOOLER IS THAT,

[01:40:06]

SO THAT WAS A CONCEPT THAT WAS PRESENTED AT A PRIOR COMMUNITY MEETING.

AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH AFTER GETTING THAT FEEDBACK. I THINK THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE TOYING AROUND WITH WHEN WE WERE THINKING ABOUT MAKING SEA HAWK WAY, YOU KNOW, GOING IN ONLY OR GOING OUT ONLY.

AND HOW DO WE TREAT THE EXIT ENTRANCE, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE? BUT BECAUSE THERE WAS A DESIRE TO KEEP THE SAME MOVEMENTS HERE.

AND LUCKILY WE HAVE 40FT OF WIDTH HERE TO PROVIDE IN-OUT ACCESS AND BIKE ACCESS.

WE DIDN'T FEEL A NEED TO IN THIS CURRENT FORM OF THE PROJECT, TO MAKE CHANGES AT THE DEL AMO SIDE.

I THINK IT PROVIDES VALUABLE ACCESS, INGRESS AND EGRESS, AND THEN IT, YOU KNOW, LIMITS ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON DIAMOND, WHICH, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE, YOU KNOW, REQUIRING EVERYONE TO EXIT ONTO DIAMOND WHO WAS IN THE LOT OR, YOU KNOW, REQUIRING EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO GET IN THAT LOT TO ENTER FROM DIAMOND. SO YEAH, I LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS. OKAY. SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION UNLESS ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

COMMISSIONER BEELI. RYAN, WHAT IS THE PREDOMINANT BIKE TRAFFIC? WHICH DIRECTION DOES THAT COME? IS THAT COMING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH? FROM NORTH PROBABLY.

I THINK THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS REDONDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS LIVE IN NORTH REDONDO, AND SO COMING DOWN DIAMOND IS THEIR MOST DIRECT ROUTE TO THE SCHOOL.

THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS BERYL. YEAH, I'VE SEEN THE GOSH, GANGS OF BIKE CYCLISTS COMING DOWN DIAMOND. AND IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE AT LEAST FOR MY FAMILY, MY WIFE IS ACTUALLY SCARED TO GO DOWN DIAMOND NOW BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE MAKING THAT COMMUTE ON THEIR E-BIKES.

AND THEY DON'T OFTEN CARE WHAT LIGHT IS, WHAT COLOR THE LIGHT IS AT THE TIME, EVEN UP TO 5 OR 6 SECONDS LATER. SO WE HAVE KIND OF EVEN SKIPPED DIAMOND ON THE NORTH, OR FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH, JUST ALL TOGETHER. IT'S JUST IT'S TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE.

SO I'M VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THE ACTUALLY ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN WHAT'S THERE NOW.

IT'S JUST COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND WELL OUT OF HAND.

SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE YOUR CHANGES BE INPUTTED AND DONE WITH THE CITY.

I THINK THAT'S A REALLY SMART IDEA, AND I THINK IT WILL MAKE EVERYBODY SAFER WITH THE BIKES OR THE E-BIKE RACKS AT THE SCHOOL, BECAUSE THE E-BIKE TIRES ARE SO MUCH THICKER AND THE E-BIKES ARE ACTUALLY SO MUCH WIDER THAN A REGULAR BICYCLE.

ARE THERE SPECIAL BIKE RACKS THAT THE SCHOOL HAS FOR E-BIKES? I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT MODEL OF BIKE RACK THEY HAVE.

I THINK IT'S A SORT OF AN OLDER TYPE. THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION OUT THERE ON WHAT'S THE OPTIMAL BIKE RACK TYPE.

AND I THINK FROM FOR THE CITY OF WHAT WE PUT IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY IS JUST A SIMPLE U-SHAPED WITH A CROSSBAR IN THE MIDDLE THAT'S NOT TOO THICK.

AND IT CAN ACCOMMODATE A WIDE VARIETY OF BIKES.

THAT'S WHAT WE USE. AND I THINK IF THE SCHOOL APPROACHED US AND ASKED US FOR A TYPE, THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND AS WELL.

BUT CERTAINLY WE CAN PASS THAT ON TO THE SCHOOL OFFICIALS WHEN THEY IF, WHEN THEY DECIDE TO EXPAND THEIR BIKE PARKING ON CAMPUS.

OKAY. THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

I'M SO SORRY. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. GO AHEAD. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN ANY INTEREST OR DEMAND IN BIKE LOCKERS FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING OF THESE BIKES OCCASIONALLY.

I HAVEN'T HEARD A REQUEST FOR THAT BEFORE. I SUSPECT THAT, I DON'T KNOW.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME LIMITED DEMAND FOR FOR OVERNIGHT BIKE PARKING.

PERHAPS SOME STUDENTS ALREADY DO THAT OVERNIGHT.

THEY PROBABLY WOULD PREFER TO LEAVE IT IN THAT LOCKED BIKE CAGE AND NOT ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE SCHOOL.

BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'VE THOUGHT ABOUT OR HEARD REQUESTS FOR.

I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU HAD MENTIONED THE FUTURE PROJECT FOR THE PARKING ON CAMPUS.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND WHAT TIMELINE? SO WE'VE ONLY GOTTEN LIKE A QUICK CONCEPTUAL SKETCH FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY'RE STILL DOING THE DESIGN AND DELIBERATIONS THEMSELVES AS WELL.

AND THEN WE'VE BEEN IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH THEM TO SHARE THAT DESIGN WITH US SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE OUR COMMENTS AND OUR FEEDBACK BASED ON WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY

[01:45:02]

YOU KNOW, HOW PEOPLE ENTER, HOW PEOPLE EXIT AND HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR CROSSWALKS.

COMMISSIONER NAFISSI. IS THE BEACH CITIES TRANSIT STILL COMING FROM THE NORTH TO I MEAN, I SEE IT EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT DO KIDS RIDE THAT? YES. SO. THAT PACT, WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DOES RIDERSHIP LOOK LIKE? I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT RIDERSHIP, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAVE ACTUALLY RIDDEN IT ONCE.

AND IT IS. IT IS PACKED. SO THEY HAVE SPECIFIC BUSSES THAT TAKE THE STUDENTS.

YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF SNAKES ITS WAY DOWN VAIL AND THEN GOES DOWN RINDGE AND AT EVERY STOP, JUST MORE KIDS GET ON. I THINK IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME, A VERY GOOD PLACE TO SEE THAT IS ACTUALLY AFTER SCHOOL WHEN THE KIDS ARE TRYING TO LINE UP TO GO BACK HOME, THEY ALL LINE UP NEAR THE I THINK THE BAND ROOM AUDITORIUM NEAR PCH.

THERE'S A BIG LONG LINE OF STUDENTS WAITING TO GET ON THE BUS THERE. SO THE BUS DOES GET USED QUITE A BIT.

IS THERE DOES THERE SEEM LIKE THERE'S AN APPETITE TO INCREASE THE, YOU KNOW, MORE BUSSES? WOULD THAT MAYBE ALLEVIATE. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIDERSHIP IS. I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT, YOU KNOW, IF WE ADDED. YEAH, I DON'T WORK I DON'T WORK FOR THE TRANSIT DIVISION THAT'S WITHIN COMMUNITY SERVICES.

I SUSPECT THEY WOULD LOVE TO ADD MORE BUSSES, BUT, YOU KNOW, FUNDING IS THERE.

THEY'RE PROBABLY PRETTY CONSTRAINED ON THE FUNDING. SO I KNOW THEY ARE WORKING ON SOME STOP CONSOLIDATION.

SO TO AT LEAST GET THE BUSSES MOVING A LITTLE BIT QUICKER, I THINK THE TRIP IS QUITE SLOW AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, SO IF THEY CAN MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS WITH THE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW, THAT COULD POTENTIALLY INCREASE RIDERSHIP AND GET STUDENTS FASTER TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND JUST MAKE IT A MORE ATTRACTIVE OPTION FOR THE STUDENTS.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PRETTY WELL USED, AND I HAVE SEEN PARENTS COME TO BUY THE BUS TICKETS AS WELL.

WHEN THOSE SERVICES ARE AT OUR COUNTER. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. YEAH. TO ADD TO WHAT RYAN SAID, IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY IMPRESSIVE, ORGANIZED LINE THAT THE KIDS MAKE. YOU KNOW, WHEN WAITING FOR THE BUS AFTER SCHOOL.

AND YOU CAN SEE EVEN ACROSS THE STREET AT THE MCDONALD'S, THEY'VE GOT TWO OTHER BUSSES WAITING TO TO GO, AND THEY EVEN HAVE LIKE, I THINK BEACH CITIES TRANSIT HAS ONE VERY LIKE A FULL, LIKE A LARGER, A LARGER BUS THAT THEY RUN JUST IN THE MORNING, IN THE AFTERNOON SPECIFICALLY FOR STUDENT CAPACITY.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION, WELL, TWO, TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU, RYAN. ONE IS AT DEL AMO AND DIAMOND YOUR RECONFIGURATION? IS THE PURPLE JUST GOING TO BE A PURPLE PAINT OR IS IT ACTUALLY GOING TO BE? OH, THERE IT IS. ASPHALT ART. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A RAISED MEDIAN OR ANYTHING.

NO, NO NOT NOT AT THIS TIME. SO JUST CLOSING OFF THE LEFT TURN POCKET, STILL ALLOWING THE MOVEMENTS, JUST CLOSING OFF THE POCKETS TO MAKE THE INTERSECTION MORE MANAGEABLE.

CORRECT. GOT IT. YEAH. WE RAN A LOSS LEVEL SERVICE ANALYSIS, AND IT ACTUALLY OPERATED JUST SLIGHTLY BETTER WITHOUT IT.

JUST BY REDUCING THE COMPLEXITY. YEAH. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF US RIGHT NOW? YOUR FEEDBACK ON ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS, IF THERE'S ANYTHING SPECIFIC YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED? I THINK BEFORE, YOU KNOW, FROM FROM THE STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, WE WERE IN, YOU KNOW, PRETTY, PRETTY SET ON THESE INCLUDING THE PICKUP DROP OFF ENHANCEMENT ON VINCENT PARK.

BUT AFTER HEARING THAT FEEDBACK, WE'RE PROBABLY WALKING THAT BACK A LITTLE BIT OR NOT PUSHING IT AS STRONGLY.

AND SO WE WOULD LIKE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT, AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER CHANGES HERE AND WHAT WE TAKE TO THE COUNCIL.

IS THERE A MOTION WE NEED TO MAKE FOR THIS OR.

YEAH, I THINK A MOTION WOULD BE APPRECIATED ON SOME SORT OF RECOMMENDATION TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD ON THIS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE COUNCIL AS WE PREPARE PLANS AND SPECS FOR THIS PROJECT.

I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE WE MAKE THAT MOTION.

KEEPING IN MIND OUR THE INPUT FROM PLANNING WITH THE PROJECT THAT'S GOING IN ON VINCENT AND PCH, DID YOU INCORPORATE THIS RESTRIPING IN COLLABORATION WITH THE IMPACT OF THAT PROJECT ON THE TRAFFIC AT THE SCHOOL? SO MOST OF THE TRAFFIC.

SO ALL THE TRAFFIC, MOST OF THE TRAFFIC COUNT DATA WAS COLLECTED ON DIAMOND.

WE DIDN'T COLLECT, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT COUNTS ON VINCENT KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, VINCENT IS A NARROWER STREET AND THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH MORE WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF ADDING OR DELETING LANES ON THAT STREET. WITH RESPECT TO THE TOWNHOMES PROJECT THAT'S RIGHT THERE.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT QUITE AS FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT I DID REVIEW THE TRAFFIC STUDY AS THE APPLICATION WENT THROUGH, AND THE NET EFFECT ON THE TRAFFIC IS ACTUALLY NOT THAT HIGH BECAUSE IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE CONSULTANT FOR THAT PROJECT, WHEN THEY, TOOK EXISTING COUNTS OF THE SCHOOL ON THAT SITE.

AND SO THEY USE REAL DATA TO DEDUCT THAT TRAFFIC.

AND THEN WHEN YOU REPLACE THAT SCHOOL TRAFFIC WITH THE NEW RESIDENTIAL, THE NET EFFECT OF THAT PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY NOT THAT HIGH.

[01:50:08]

IT IT ASSUMED THAT NOBODY WOULD BE WALKING AND BIKING FROM THAT FROM THOSE HOMES.

WHICH IS PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, NOT WHAT PEOPLE IN REDONDO BEACH DO.

THERE'S OTHER USES NEARBY THE SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STREET.

I DON'T THINK THE STUDENTS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE LIVING THERE WOULD BE DRIVING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO THOSE TYPES OF TRIP ESTIMATES ARE CONSIDERED CAR TRIPS UNDER MOST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

SO NONETHELESS, THE PROJECT, I THINK THE CONSULTANT FOR THAT PROJECT CHOSE A CONSERVATIVE ANALYSIS SO THAT ON TOP OF THE EXISTING SCHOOL TRAFFIC.

THE INCREASE WAS WAS NOT VERY HIGH. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT IT WAS NOT IT WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO WARRANT FURTHER ANALYSIS UNDER THE CITY'S TRAFFIC STUDY GUIDELINES. THANK YOU.

SO CAN WE SEE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS UP ON OUR SCREEN AGAIN? THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. I GUESS, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THAT WE'VE HEARD AND, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT RYAN'S TEAM IS GOING TO RECONSIDER THE CHANGES ON VINCENT PARK. IT SOUNDS LIKE. BUT THE DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGES ON DIAMOND, I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THEN TO TAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL OR TO THE NEXT, STAGE OF THE PROJECT. SURE. FOR DIAMOND. FOR DIAMOND.

I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. SOUNDS GREAT. ROLL CALL VOTE.

COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

AYE. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI.

AYE. COMMISSIONER BEELI. AYE. CHAIR ARRATA. AYE.

THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES. WE'LL MOVE ON TO J.4 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING UPCOMING PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION MEETING DATES? YES.

SO WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A PRESENTATION, BUT THIS IS BASICALLY SPEAKING TO THE REMAINING MEETINGS FOR THE YEAR.

WE HAVE TWO MEETING, REGULAR MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 22, I BELIEVE.

LET ME PULL IT UP. NO. CORRECT. NOVEMBER 24TH AND DECEMBER 22ND.

GIVEN THAT THESE ARE USUALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS, THE 24TH OF NOVEMBER BEING THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING, A LOT OF TIMES EITHER COMMISSIONERS OR STAFF ARE OUT OF TOWN.

DECEMBER 22ND SAME THING. THAT'S DURING KIND OF OUR ABUTTING AGAINST THE HOLIDAY CLOSURE FOR THE CITY.

WE ARE WORKING THAT MONDAY. THAT IS THE ONLY DAY WE WORK THAT WEEK.

SO THIS IS JUST A TIME FOR THE COMMISSION TO WE WE DID THIS LAST YEAR TO DECIDE THE REMAINDER OF THE MEETING SCHEDULE FOR FOR THE YEAR. SO IF YOU READ THE AR KIND OF THE OPTIONS ARE GOING FORWARD WITH THE NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER MEETINGS AS REGULARLY SCHEDULED EITHER CONSOLIDATING THE MEETINGS AND CANCELING THE REGULAR MEETINGS, CREATING A SPECIAL MEETING. THE DATES WE PUT IN THERE WERE DECEMBER 15TH OR DECEMBER 17TH OR JUST CANCELING THE MEETINGS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AND RECONVENING IN JANUARY.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PRESSING TRAFFIC ITEMS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

IT REALLY WOULD ONLY BE, I BELIEVE THERE'S A THE PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMIT ITEM REPORT THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING BACK.

HOWEVER, THAT KIND OF PROGRAM AND MAYBE OUR DIRECTOR WINJE WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF COMMENT ON THIS AS WELL.

YEAH. THANKS, JESSE. WE DID GET ONE OTHER REQUEST.

NOT URGENT, BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD LIKE THIS COMMISSION TO CONSIDER AN ITEM RELATED TO.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC TOPIC, BUT IT WAS PERHAPS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR IF IT CAN BE DONE.

SO THERE IS AN ITEM. IT'S TRAFFIC RELATED. MORE ABOUT THE CODE I THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH NOW.

I REMEMBER IT WAS DRIVEWAY WIDTHS FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES.

WE HAVE CODE TO THAT NOW. THE GOAL IS ON THE ARTESIA AVIATION CORRIDORS TO MAYBE SHORTEN SOME OF THOSE DRIVEWAY WIDTHS, SHORTEN THE REQUIREMENT TO ALLOW MORE REGULAR SIDEWALK AND MORE WALKABLE STREETS THERE.

SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD ASKED THIS COMMISSION CONSIDER THAT ALSO.

[01:55:05]

NO URGENCY OTHER THAN SOMETHING THEY'D LIKE US TO DO THIS YEAR.

SO COULD BE THIS YEAR. COULD BE JANUARY. EITHER WAY, IT WOULD WORK.

THANK YOU. QUICK, QUICK QUESTION, ANDY. WHAT IS THE MID WIDTH OR SOMETHING FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY. OUR CODE RIGHT NOW HAS A MINIMUM WIDTH FOR DRIVEWAY WITH TWO WAY TRAFFIC OF 30FT AND ONE WAY TRAFFIC OF 14. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

SO THOSE ARE FOR COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL? YEAH.

INSTITUTIONAL. OKAY. TWO WAY TRAFFIC AND ONE WAY TRAFFIC, RESPECTIVELY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. SO WITH THAT, I TURN IT TO THE COMMISSIONERS TO DECIDE WHAT WHAT TO DO FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE A MEETING FOR PLANNING.

HOW'S EVERYBODY LOOKING FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER? WELL, YOU SAID IF WE WANTED TO CONSOLIDATE AND JUST HAVE ONE SPECIAL MEETING.

RIGHT? CORRECT. YOU MENTIONED DECEMBER 15TH WAS AN OPTION? YES. THE 15TH TO THE 17TH. YOU FLOATED IT OUT IN THE SURVEY.

HOW DID THE RESPONSES LOOK FOR WHO CAN MAKE THE 15TH? UNFORTUNATELY, MY BRILLIANT SURVEY THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO WORK PERFECTLY.

I THINK A LOT OF YOU HAD TROUBLE. TROUBLE? TROUBLE ACCESSING IT.

I THINK IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMAIL. A FOR EFFORT THOUGH. YEAH, I THINK IT WAS SENT TO YOUR REDONDO EMAIL. SO IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WAY THAT YOU ACCESS IT. SO I DIDN'T GET THE RESULTS. BUT THE TWO DATES.

SO YOU GUYS CAN DISCUSS IT WERE DECEMBER 15TH, I BELIEVE IS A MONDAY OR DECEMBER 17TH, WHICH IS A WEDNESDAY.

I CAN MAKE BOTH OF THOSE DATES. I RESPONDED BACK TO YOU, JESSE, ON THAT. I CAN DO MONDAY THE 15TH.

YEAH. SAME HERE. I'M GOOD WITH MONDAY THE 15TH.

I'M GOOD WITH MONDAY THE 15TH. I ALSO KNOW IT'S A VERY BUSY TIME, SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PRESSING, I'M ALSO OKAY SKIPPING TILL JANUARY. YEAH. DO WE HAVE THE OR IS THERE ANYTHING COMING UP WITH CANDY CANE LANE WITH HAS THAT BEEN RESOLVED? SO SO THAT'S THE PARKING, I THINK THAT STEMMED FROM THE PREFERENTIAL PARKING PERMITS.

YES. WAIT. SO DO WE WANT TO ADDRESS THAT BEFORE? SO DECEMBER, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE CANDY CANE LANE PORTION, THE AVENUE H OPENING TORRANCE HAS WITHDRAWN THEIR REQUEST FOR US TO OPEN THE BOLLARDS THAT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA. OPEN POWER. OPEN THE BOLLARDS.

YEAH, YEAH. THAT'LL BE ON NEXT WEEK'S COUNCIL AGENDA WHERE WE'LL RECOMMEND THAT WE DO WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH THE RESIDENTS SEEM TO APPRECIATE THE IMPROVEMENTS FROM LAST YEAR. THE QUESTION ABOUT OPENING IT UP FOR EGRESS TRAFFIC FROM TORRANCE IS NO LONGER ON THE TABLE.

SO AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR. WHAT WERE THE CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE LAST YEAR? WAS IT THE. [INAUDIBLE] WE ADDED A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, KIND OF TEMPORARY MINI TRAFFIC CIRCLE AT THE MESSINA AVENUE H INTERSECTION TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO FIND THEIR WAY BACK OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO GO UP CIRCLE DRIVE OR THE CUL DE SAC.

THAT WAS DONE WITH CONES AND BARRICADES. OKAY.

AND THEN WE DID SOME ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE AT THE PROSPECT AVENUE H INTERSECTION TO HELP WITH ENTRANCE.

ADDED SOME TRASH CANS. YEAH, THAT'S A JUST. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING WE COULD PROVIDE AS A CONSENT UPDATE AT THE NEXT MEETING IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE ONE. YEAH, WE CAN UPDATE YOU, BUT THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER IT NEXT, TUESDAY.

THERE STILL IS THE BROADER PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM FOR THE CITY CITYWIDE, WHICH COUNCIL SAID THAT WAS TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO TAKE ON BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO WE'RE DIRECTED TO BRING THAT BACK AT SOME FUTURE DATE WHEN THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO DIGEST THAT.

YEAH. SO I'M HERE DECEMBER 15TH AS WELL. SO WE'RE GOING TO FOREGO NEXT MONTH'S MEETING. IT'S UP TO THE COMMISSION.

IF THERE'S A MOTION, YOU GUYS CAN DECIDE TO FOREGO IT.

CREATE JUST ONE SPECIAL MEETING IN DECEMBER THE 15TH TO THE 17TH, WHATEVER IT WORKS BEST FOR ALL THE COMMISSIONERS, FOR THE MAJORITY. OR. YEAH, IT'S UP TO TO THE COMMISSIONERS AT THIS POINT.

HOW YOU GUYS WANT TO HANDLE THAT? MAYBE WE DO ONE SPECIAL MEETING ON THE 15TH.

I THINK SO TOO. YEAH. MONDAY IS PROBABLY LESS LIKELY FOR A SCHOOL EVENT TO POP UP THAN A WEDNESDAY OR SOMETHING.

SO THAT MEANS NOTHING IN NOVEMBER. NOTHING IN NOVEMBER? YEAH. GOOD THE 24TH THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING.

YEAH, RIGHT. A LITTLE A LITTLE HECTIC. YEAH. YEAH.

DO WE NEED A MOTION? ONE MOTION ON THERE. WE NEED A SECOND.

MOTION TO ELIMINATE NOVEMBER'S MEETING AND MOVE DECEMBER'S TO DECEMBER 15TH.

THE SPECIAL MEETING. SPECIAL MEETING? YEAH. I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY.

ROLL CALL. COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

AYE. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI. AYE. COMMISSIONER BEELI.

[02:00:04]

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR. NOVEMBER, DECEMBER MEETINGS WILL BE CANCELED AND WE WILL HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING ON DECEMBER 15TH.

RIGHT. AND YOU'LL MAKE SURE TO SEND A REMINDER TO US.

YES. YES. BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SURVEY BEFOREHAND.

IT'S AT 7 P.M.. I'M VERY PROUD OF MY FORM. [LAUGHTER] AND YOU KNOW.

OKAY. SORRY, JESSE. I HAD TO GO FOR THE CHEAP SHOT.

NO, YOU YOU ACTUALLY WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT DID CORRECTLY RESPOND, EVEN AFTER SOME TROUBLE.

I SWEAR I TRIED. NO WORRIES. THANK YOU SIR. THEN WE'LL MOVE TO BACK TO J.1 FOR DISCUSSION AND SELECTION OF THE NEW PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR. YEAH, SO THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WE SELECT THE NEW CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. SO IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE COMMISSIONERS ON THAT SELECTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE BAJAJ. I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT I ALSO ENJOY NOT DOING IT. SO DOES ANYBODY. WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO HAVE IT? YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER YEAR IF YOU ALL WANT ME.

OH, I'D LOVE TO. YEAH. I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

I ALSO, I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR CINDY.

I'M. I WOULD LOVE TO IF YOU. IF Y'ALL WANT ME TO.

IS THERE LIKE A IS THERE LIKE A PROTOCOL? LIKE YOU TYPICALLY TRY TO GIVE IT THROUGH SENIORITY AND LET EVERYBODY GET A TURN KIND OF THING OR.

NO, IT'S IT'S JUST A PREFERENCE OF THE COMMISSION.

OKAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE VICE CHAIR? VICE CHAIR? SURE. I'LL BE VICE CHAIR. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO I GUESS WE NEED A MOTION TO I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO HAVE CINDY ARRATA DO IT ANOTHER YEAR, BE THE CHAIR ANOTHER YEAR, AND THEN DO I SEE HIM TOO? OR IS THAT ANOTHER MOTION? IT CAN BE IN ONE MOTION.

OKAY. LAST NAME? ANDERSON. OKAY. AND SO LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.

I WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR CINDY ARRATA TO TO BE THE CHAIR AGAIN, AS WELL AS COMMISSIONER ANDERSON TO BE THE VICE CHAIR.

SECOND. I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. YOU WILL GO WITH.

JUST SINCE YOU'RE BEING NOMINATED TO GO WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

COMMISSIONER BEELI. COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. AYE.

COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. YES. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON.

AYE. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI. AYE. COMMISSIONER BEELI.

AYE. CHAIR ARRATA. AYE. SWEET. THANK YOU ALL.

APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. CONGRATULATIONS. ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S GO ON TO K COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS.

[K. COMMISSION MEMBER ITEMS AND FUTURE COMMISSION AGENDA TOPICS]

COMMISSIONER NAFISSI WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO GET A REPORT OF A REPORT, NOTES, UPDATES, TOPICS, DISCUSSIONS, BRAILLE, ANY COMMUNICATION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS DOING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD REGARDING THESE ISSUES. WHEN THEY MEET, DO THEY TAKE NOTES? DOES SOMEONE TRANSCRIBE? ARE THERE MINUTES THAT ARE SHARED? ARE THERE FOLLOW UP ITEMS? I MEAN MORSE CODE. I WILL TAKE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE TO ME THAT THESE MEETINGS ARE HAPPENING.

I'VE ASKED THE CITY MANAGER AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ATTEND THAT THEY WOULD, THAT THERE'S AN INTEREST IN THIS GROUP FOR THOSE KIND OF NOTES TO COME BACK. AND THEY SAID, OKAY, THEY JUST THEY HAVEN'T COMMITTED TO IT.

THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY. SO I AM COMMUNICATING YOUR DESIRE.

IT MIGHT HELP. WHO IS SITTING ON THE COMMITTEE. OH, I'M SURE IT WILL HELP. THIS GROUP WOULD WANT TO PRINT THIS, WRITE A LETTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ASKING FOR THAT KIND OF INFORMATION THAT MIGHT CARRY A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT WITH THE REST OF THEM. SO.

WHO'S SERVING ON THE COMMITTEE NOW? IT IS PAIGE, AND IT WAS TODD, AND I'M NOT SURE WHO REPLACED TODD.

I DON'T KNOW WHO REPLACED. I DON'T KNOW IF CHADWICK REPLACED TODD OR NOT.

YEAH, I'M NOT SURE EITHER. DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE LAST MEETING TOOK PLACE? I KNOW THEY'RE TALKING REGULARLY. I DON'T HAVE THE DATE, AND I KNOW THE ITEMS ARE DISCUSSING ARE REAL ESTATE RELATED ITEMS. THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD IN THE HALLWAYS. I HAVE NO OFFICIAL WORD ON ANYTHING.

OKAY. SO IN THE NEXT MEETING, WOULD IT BE FEASIBLE FOR US TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO WRITE THAT? YOU CAN DO THAT NOW? YOU COULD, YOU COULD YOU COULD REFER.

RIGHT. WE HAVE OUR MEMO. JESSE HELP ME HOW THAT WORKS.

WE HAVE A CORRESPONDENCE PIECE THAT THE COUNCIL IS INTERESTED IN GETTING COMMUNICATION BACK FROM THE COMMISSIONS VIA A MEMO.

[02:05:06]

WE WILL EMAIL THAT AND PRINT IT AND PUT IT IN THE BOXES OF THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHICH IS WHAT WE DID. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THAT LETTER WAS MEMO WAS SENT TO THEM AFTER THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT OTHER SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, ARE THEY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC? SORRY, THAT'S THE WRONG QUESTION. I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO ASK.

SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF THE COMMITTEE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, WITH DISCUSSING SCHOOL RELATED ITEMS WHERE THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SIT ON IT, IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I GOT YOU.

I BELIEVE IT'S NOT A BROWN ACT MEETING, SO IT'S NOT PUBLICLY OPEN.

OKAY, SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION OR RECOMMENDATION WOULD MAKE A MOTION.

AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. WHAT DO I MAKE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION FOR ANY TYPE OF NOTES, CORRESPONDENCE, UPDATES, OUTCOMES, DISCUSSIONS, TOPICS RELATED TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE IN WHICH THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS SIT ON.

IF WE CAN GET SOME TYPE OF REGULAR UPDATE JUST SO WE ARE INFORMED.

AND SO WHEN PEOPLE COME IN FRONT OF US THAT WE CAN SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THESE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE SPEAKING ON IT AND WE CAN ALSO GUIDE THEM TO THAT. YOU KNOW, I'M WELL AWARE OF OUR PLACE ON THE TOTEM POLE, AND WE OBVIOUSLY CAN'T IMPACT TOO MUCH POLICY.

WE CAN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT IT'S ALSO OUR OBLIGATION TO EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY TO GO CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS, TOO. SO IF YOU COULD, THAT'D BE GREAT. AND WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER REGULAR UPDATES? WELL, I DON'T HOW OFTEN THEY'RE MEETING THIS SUBCOMMITTEE IS VERY NEBULOUS.

NO NOTES, NO TIMELINE. SO I DON'T KNOW. HOW OFTEN ARE THEY MEETING? IS IT MONTHLY? IS IT WEEKLY? ONCE QUARTERLY? I MEAN, NO ONE TELLS US ANY INFORMATION THAT I ASKED, LIKE 52 TIMES. PERHAPS WE DON'T GET TOO SPECIFIC ABOUT HOW OFTEN AND TRY AND GET ONE, SEE WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE.

BUT WE WILL NEED A SECOND AND A MAJORITY VOTE TO MOVE FORWARD.

OKAY. SURE. OR MAYBE EVEN JUST AN UPDATE OF WHERE THEY'RE AT, WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE DISCUSSING MULTIPLE TOPICS. SO I DO THINK IT'S AN ONGOING DISCUSSION.

AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME EVERY MEETING. SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE IT AFTER JUST MAYBE AFTER THEY MEET.

IS CITY STAFF IN THOSE MEETINGS? I BELIEVE THE CITY MANAGER IS.

CITY MANAGER. I MEAN, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SAY THIS ISN'T THE CASE.

IS THE CITY MANAGER EVER IN A MEETING ALONE WITHOUT SOMEONE WITH LIKE AN ASSISTANT TAKING NOTES? OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, ALL WE CAN DO IS ASK, RIGHT? OKAY, SO IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN THAT INFORMATION, I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO THE PUBLIC AND BEING TRANSPARENT WITH THEM, THE CONVERSATIONS THEY HAD. AND WE CAN ALSO SHARE WITH THEM WHEN THEY COME BEFORE US. IS THERE A MOTION.

THAT'S MY MOTION. I'LL SECOND THAT. SECOND. I'LL DO A ROLL CALL.

COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ.

YES. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. AYE. COMMISSIONER NAFISSI.

AYE. COMMISSIONER BEELI. AYE. CHAIR ARRATA. AYE.

I HAVE NOTHING. COMMISSIONER SIMPSON. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. NO I HAVE NOTHING. COMMISSIONER ANDERSON.

OH, I HAVE A QUESTION. COMMISSIONER BAJAJ. HOW'S THE KIND OF INITIAL.

HOW'S THE PAY STATIONS WORKING OUT DOWN AT THE HARBOR LOT.

GREAT QUESTION. I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING. I KNOW THE SIGNAGE IS IMPROVING.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW TREND WISE HOW THEY'RE DOING VERSUS THE OTHER ONES YET.

I BELIEVE IT'S CERTAINLY BETTER THAN THE MAN STATION WAS PRIOR TO THAT.

YEAH. I KNOW THAT'S ACTUALLY SAVING THE CITY MONEY BY NOT HAVING TO STAFF THAT POSITION.

SO YEAH, WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SOME EARLY REPORTS ON THAT FROM THE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

YEAH, I PARKED THERE THE OTHER DAY AND I PAID, AND IT WAS A VERY EASY PROCESS.

ONCE YOU HAVE THE APP, IT'S VERY EASY, RIGHT? OBVIOUSLY MORE TEDIOUS IF YOU DON'T. BUT THERE ARE PHYSICAL PAY STATIONS AROUND THERE AS WELL. CORRECT. THERE'S THREE. OKAY, GOOD. AND I GUESS WE GOT THE ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE.

AND THEY DO ENFORCEMENT THE SAME WAY THAT THEY CAN DO WITH THE STRUCTURES.

YEAH, I IMAGINE IT'LL BE THE SAME. THAT'S HANDLED BY POLICE DEPARTMENT, OF COURSE.

AND SO I'M NOT PRIVY TO THEIR ACTUAL PROTOCOL, BUT I IMAGINE IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO HOW THEY HANDLE THE STRUCTURES.

THAT'S GOOD. IT'S A GOOD IT'S A GOOD ADDITION. I LIKE THE ADDITIONAL ENTRANCE THEY OPENED UP OFF OF PORTOFINO WAY.

[02:10:02]

YEAH. YEAH, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO ADJOURN. TO ADJOURN TO THE SPECIAL MEETING.

ADJOURN TO THE SPECIAL MEETING. ON DECEMBER 15TH? YEAH. DECEMBER 15TH AT 7 P.M.. YEAH. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET A SECOND.

I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

SO WE'RE ADJOURNED. THIS NEXT MEETING OF THE REDONDO BEACH PUBLIC WORKS AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION WILL BE A SPECIAL MEETING AT 7 P.M.

ON DECEMBER 15TH IN THE REDONDO BEACH COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 415 DIAMOND STREET, REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
