A Nightmare on 2nd Street
PERMANENT PARKLETS are in the works and threaten safety, accessibility, and our residential streets
MAP LEGEND:
Red = Hearings process exhausted; heading to City Council for final decision.
Yellow = On applicants list
Purple = Likely or past applicants
Blue = Encroachments of concern
15+ permanent parklets are in the works for 2nd Street. Legends is up first. Residents need to act:
FEBRUARY 13
City Council hears the FINAL APPEAL for the first 2nd St. permanent parklet, for Legends (two parking spaces). Write city council and show up.
5 pm, at LBCC, NOT at City Hall. 4901 E. Carson St. Park in Structure 1 off of Clark Ave. (between Lew Davis St. and Carson St.) Go to Building T, Room 1100.
PLEASE WRITE... NOW
Focus your input on Legends specifically. HERE is info about Legends' application, and general parklet issues can be found HERE.
Send your email ASAP because the February 13 decision is looming and officials need to hear how you feel NOW.
BELMONT SHORE CURB MANAGEMENT STUDY.
Conducted by Long Beach Department of Traffic Engineering, Public Works.
Please note the 15 'existing parklets' on slide 19 (at the link below), and that the study does NOT reflect the loss of those parking spaces and the resulting cars on our residential streets, because the study was done when there were no parklets in place.
These numbers are skewed. CLICK HERE for CURB MANAGEMENT STUDY.
