On November 30, 2021, the City of Redondo Beach (City) approved emergency coastal development permit (eCDP) No.
CDP-2021-12 authorizing the closure of the Avenue A access ramp located at the intersection of Avenue A and Esplanade in Redondo Beach, California. The County of Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors (DBH) requested the closure following an engineering study that found the existing path, railing, top and bottom landings, and the concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall that compose the ramp to be in very poor condition and recommended closure for public safety. On November 16, 2023, the City issued the latest eCDP extension for the access ramp closure, to allow DBH additional time to prepare construction drawings for the access ramp repair project. DBH is now submitting a request for a coastal development permit to replace the existing access ramp and make associated improvements at the site.
The Avenue A beach access ramp extends 267 feet from the upper level at the western terminus of Avenue A to the beach level and exits adjacent to the beach bike path. The width of the concrete access ramp is 4.5 feet with 4 feet clearance between the railing post and the CMU wall. Pedestrian railing and a CMU retaining wall extend the length of the access path. The height of the wall varies from 36” to 60”.
The work to be performed would include demolition of the existing access path and retaining wall And constructing an ADA-accessible 812 linear foot long, 6' wide concrete access path and two 6' wide concrete staircases on either end of the access path. Additional project related work to be performed would include installation of one ADA parking space, general grading of the bluff, removal and replacement of bluff landscaping and irrigation, bollard lighting, bench seating, guardrails and handrails, drainage swales and miscellaneous drainage improvements.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Tamika Simmons at [email protected] or (424) 526-7733.

Not Applicable.
The proposed development is located between the sea and the first public road. Section 30604(c) of the Coastal Act requires that every coastal development permit issued for any development between the nearest public road and the sea include a specific finding that the development is in conformance with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. As proposed, the access ramp replacment will temporarily reduce pedestrian beach access from Avenue A. However, replacement of the ramp is required due to concerns with public safety, thus, closure is necessary. Alternate accessways are available at Knob Hill, 0.1 mile to the north, and Avenue C, 0.15 mile to the south.
