New Park Name
Friday, 18 May 2012
We will be opening the first part of what will be a 47-acre park later this year. The first stage of what I have been calling California Gardens is nearly ready, but I need your help. What should we name this new park?
Much has been done in recent months to open this site, which the city first acquired in 1882, to public access. The last of many industrial sites on or adjacent to the parcel were recently cleared, regulatory approval to proceed with opening the site was acquired, and funding was obtained to open the first four acres and to proceed with the master planning process.
Stop Fixing Sidewalks?
Thursday, 03 May 2012
Last week, the Press Telegram reported that some cities are proposing to completely stop repairing sidewalks and assign the responsibility to homeowners, if they have not done so already. This is due to budget deficits that have been allowed to grow to the point where draconian service cuts are required. Under such a policy, private citizens would have to pay for all sidewalk repair, even when sidewalk damage is caused by city trees.
Opportunities

Every community deserves the basics, such as access to fresh foods and banking services. While parts of the Seventh District have traditionally lacked such services, that is about to change. This Saturday, April 21st, we will hold the inaugural Farmers’ Market in West Long Beach at Admiral Kidd Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This will be a weekly Farmers’ Market that will run every Saturday morning, where the Center Space will offer workshops on fitness and skill development will also be offered.
