Perhaps RBPD should consider kinetic round devices, such as Umarex (a unit of Walther) and Byrna in addition.

I would like the City to further investigate the plants on the median of 500-600 N. Prospect. These plants DO NOT protect us for cars coming over the median nor do the plants lower the noise from the traffic on Prospect Ave.

The residents of the 500-600 North Prospect Avenue are sitting ducks.
Cars barrel down the hill like roller coaster cars from the 4 way stop at Anita and Herondo. Past Beryl Street and onto North Prospect Avenue, at double and above the speed limit, dangerously fast speeds. There is no safety barrier on the median in front of our homes, just a mound of dirt with freshly planted tiny trees. They are cute, but they will never provide safety. Twice now cars have run over that median and onto our street. The second time was in between my home and my neighbors home at 521 and 523. A light pole was taken out, the car landed upside down. The City of Redondo Beach did nothing, and still has done nothing. Why is that? The City of Redondo Beach has been negligent in protecting the residents on this street not only from a possible fatality, but has also been negligent in protecting us from excessive noise levels. Noise that is way beyond acceptable levels. Excessive noise that causes anxiety and stress. Excessive noise that is ruining our quality of life and creating an unhealthy and unlivable environment. Excessive noise that is killing our property values.
Noise from speeding cars, backed up traffic, loud audio and booming bass, illegal exhaust systems. Buses, 18 wheelers, screaming motorcycles and ambulances, Beach Cities Health District employees and traffic. Then you bounce all of that noise against the BCHD V shaped reflection wall directly at our homes. We have ZERO sound barrier here, what was left was taken away from us abruptly a year ago. We have provided that data to you, have you read it? We have ZERO privacy here, that was taken away from us a year ago. We have NEVER had a safety barrier in the 32 years that I have lived here. The City of Redondo Beach has not deferred maintenance at the 500-600 block North Prospect Avenue, it has ignored maintenance and upgrades to this street and the median for decades. Not years, DECADES. We have been forced to live under unsafe and unbearable conditions, and ignored while unimportant pet projects are prioritized. Many of which have nothing to do with the safety of residents or improving our quality of life.

I recognize the council is working with a limited amount of discretionary funding. I appreciate your work to ensure the funded projects maximize benefits to the most people in the city. I wish to support of budget items that will improve our local transit system and improve the safety, walkability, and bike-ability of our streets for health, safety and connectedness. I also support opportunities to increase city revenue via smart parking management.
I support the following BRR items as well as an additional request for a BRR of a Prospect Ave Corridor Study:
- I support enrolling BCT in Metro GoPass to streamline monthly passes for students and promote transit ridership on BCT and Metro systems (BRR 11).
- I support adding raised crosswalks and a speed table to Ford Ave (BRR 24), crossing guards along the Greenbelt (BRR 43) and exploring speed tables on the Greenbelt. - For increased revenue to the city: I support increasing parking permit fees (BRR 18), adding additional parking meters to Herondo St (BRR 40), expanding preferential parking zones and increase permit fees (BRR 57), and charging meter parking in Riviera Village during holidays (BRR 55). - Expanding bike routes is a priority of the Planning Commission and Youth Commission. A grassroots community proposal for a Safer Prospect Ave was shared with the city council several months ago, and has received over 200 signatures and 9 organizations in support. Concerns about noise, speeding, and truck traffic on Prospect Ave raised in BRR 3 and 22 and by neighbors underscore the importance of studying the street. The community proposal calls for a corridor study that would evaluate traffic calming, intersection improvements, and protected bike lanes on Prospect Ave to connect 11 schools with over 7,000 students and connect to existing EW bike lanes. A corridor study would be the first step to a Safer Prospect Ave and is estimated to cost around $100,000-150,000. It would also connect to PV Blvd Class IV protected bike lanes (BRR 27).
Thank you!

We need some protection from cars coming over the median. We also need some protection from the noise on Prospect Ave. The current bushes provide neither.

Council Member Koluderovic indicated to the residents of the 500-600 N. Prospect residential street that there was a $200,000+ budget for the N. Prospect Ave. median improvements. I have asked about that budget and those funds several times and have received no response. Why is that? We need a safety and sound solution on that median and those funds put us within reach of making it happen. Could you please answer?
