Greetings. I’m a 50-year resident of Redondo and regularly walk on the Strand (Pier to RAT Beach).
On today’s walk 10am-noon, my friend and I came across literally dozens upon dozens of piles or smashed dog poop -every few feet — near the sand area (and in Veterans Park).
We also came across numerous dogs on the strand (leashed…being walked by their owners).
As you must know, we are in a dire toxic Algal Bloom situation that is causing public health concerns due to bacterial levels…and killing sea mammals…, in large part, caused by toxins going into our runoffs and out to the ocean.
I respectfully URGE our City to be good stewards to our City and our ocean waters/sea life and establish poop clean-up detail by the appropriate department(s), visible enforcement officers, hefty fines an/or other more stringent measures to prevent this source of toxic material going into our ocean.
Please treat this as an URGENT matter. The Marine Mammal Care Center is already maxed out of resources to help sick and dying sea mammals.
I applaud our City for recently donating to the MMCC…but we can do better by not adding to this growing problem.
Thank you.
Kathy McLeod

Please see attached.
The only obligation that BCHD/SBHD has ever had to provide ANY service to NONRESIDENTS was vacated when the termination of the emergency services at the Hospital. Under the Hill-Burton Act, SBHD accepted a 100% obligation to accept all comers regardless of residency or financial means for emergency services. That obligation has now lapsed.

Here's an example of a high speed traffic accident on Prospect. Had this same accident happened mid 500-600 block like several others have, the car would have been onto the Prospect frontage road or into a house on Prospect. In this case, a fire hydrant stopped the vehicle. Action needs to be taken sooner than later, including enforcement and barrier discussions.
