Dear City clerk:
Please submit the following diagrams as a correction to Councilmember Nils Nehrenheim's presentation at the Feb. 1 council meeting. He showed a blue colored map that highlighted the high quality transit areas (HQTA) in Redondo Beach. The version he showed, however was from 2017, and had included two extra Metro Stops.
The correct screen shot is below; and the link to where this was taken is also given below. https://gisdata-scag.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/43e6fef395d041c09deaeb369a513ca1_1/explore? location=33.881547%2C-118.378615%2C13.00
-The correction was made in early 2020, after several correspondences between me and Kevin Kane of SCAG.
The following is part of an email exchange I had with Kevin Kane on this subject. Note that in his color scheme, the yellow is what is retained, and the blue was what he took away. Those two blue areas in his maps represent the two erroneous metro stops.

Holly,
......
I apologize that I don’t have time to make a full map for each city. I’m sharing a quick screenshot of HQTAs in Redondo Beach – the blue represent those used for the draft RHNA methodology (11/7) and the yellow represent those used for the staff-recommended final. The HQTA acreage within Redondo Beach looks to have decreased by 122 acres (15%) and the HQTA population we measure also went down by 1,727 (14%).] Thanks,
Kevin
Thank you for addressing this matter.
