I just want to remind everyone that both Aviation and Artesia are part of the 2011 South Bay Bicycle Master Plan.
We pledged that, when we worked on each road that was part of the planned network, we would add bicycle infrastructure. The speed limit has crept up to 40 mph in some areas and our automobiles have gained considerable height and weight. Painted bike lanes will not cut it any more. We need hardened protection for pedestrians and cyclists at this intersection.
The geometry of this angled intersection already requires very long length crossings. This is difficult for slower walkers. We should be shortening crossings for pedestrians, not widening the road to lengthen crossings. This intersection is close to two senior residential projects and a daycare center. It is also used by North Redondo students who attend MCHS. The intersection must be made safe for all, but especially the mobility-impaired and those pushing strollers.
Remember, a bicycle lane is a mobility lane. We can add more mobility capacity without inviting more cars. Build protected bike infrastructure and people will use it instead of driving. We don't have to keep widening roads for cars. We can use the existing road space more efficiently, by coaxing people out of cars.
Please direct the design consultant to make the intersection safe for all modes, particularly for the elderly and the young.

I think that the Community Development Fee Schedule should be updated to charge a fee (instead of zero dollars) for the administrative design review of single-family home development.
Single-family homes account for the majority of new building permits issued each year in the city (https://housingdata.app/places/CA/Redondo_Beach) so they represent a significant workload for the Community Development Department. The vast majority of these permits issued are for teardowns and remodels. By charging no fee for design review of single-family, we incentivize this type of development over other types of housing options, which leads to developers "mansionizing" homes in neighborhoods.
I think those seeking to mansionize their home (both developers who purchase and resell, and homeowners doing a significant remodel) should be charged a fee for the administrative design review to do so.

I like the simplicity of the color palette option 1 with the cooler tones.
I think after multiple rounds of design and iterations, this is turning out to be a great product for the city that I can see on media, decals, business cards, and the like. The city could also capitalize on this branding by selling official merchandise and developing a slogan.

I like the graphical simplicity of the circular logo. I am referring to the options on N.1. Blue Folder Option 3 https://redondo.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13105100&GUID=9565C34D-4B62-4BAB-979B6DB112070CC2 I like the clear yellow of Alternate Yellow 5
The expense of printing in more colors adds up over time.
We can adopt a one-color logo like option 14.
When we want to splash out, we can use a 2 color scheme like option 21, but substitute a clear yellow like in option 5.
I want to thank the graphical designer and the ad hoc committee for their hard work.
This logo looks so crisp and professional.
