Fix the 60+ year old N Prospect Ave. median first and provide safety and noise control for tax paying Residents.
For a City that has no money, everything but what the Residents really need always seems to get approved. Get it together "Mayor" and City Council.

Thank you for this update on the city's progress on micromobility including active transportation and bike facilities.
It's been great to see the city proactively working on enhancing our active transportation network, and the resulting benefits it has brought to mobility for residents and reducing cars on the road. I support future efforts to build out Class IV protected bike lanes, including upgrading existing Class II bike lanes such as Manhattan Beach Blvd with vertical protection, and advancing Class IV lanes on Palos Verdes Blvd. I look forward to the RB Blvd MAT project advancing and we are still working on getting Torrance's support for the project.
I encourage the council to pursue a corridor study of Prospect Ave that would explore feasibility of adding Class IV bike lanes and parking-protected bike lanes (similar to the RB Blvd MAT project configurations). This would provide a much-needed North-South route connecting 11 schools and 7,000 students with safe routes to school.
Thank you for championing active mobility and safe bike lanes! Devon Hollowood

I would like to second Liam's comment on protected bike lanes on Prospect. I live on Ripley, a couple of blocks from Prospect, and it's been really great seeing so many bikes in my neighborhood recently. This is how a beach town should feel! However, it is not safe today to bike along Prospect. We should put in bike lanes there, as well as on other major nearby streets such as Anita, making it safer for people to choose greener, healthier, and more neighborly options for getting around town. At the very least, I urge the city to study the feasibility of doing so.

Thank you for providing this update, I appreciate all the data that has been collected and the transparency on the status of ongoing/upcoming projects. For the status on the Prospect Ave section of the Bicycle Master Plan, I see the note is that "Requires lane/parking removal feasibility, deemed infeasible by prior Council." I would like to see this revisited, as I do not believe the feasibility study has ever been done and now is a great time to dig into it.
Since the pandemic we have seen growing issues with speeding vehicles on Prospect, growing bicycle usage on nearby streets (e.g. ~500/day thru the Flagler Alley per the attachment here) and significant increases in bikes parked at RUHS (approx. by a factor of 2x from the Diamond St access study). Despite this boom in biking popularity which helps reduce peak hour pickup/dropoff traffic, Prospect remains a glaring North/South gap where it is unsafe to bike. This forms a significant barrier to enabling safe and convenient travel by bike in the City.
In the confluence of the car speeding issues, truck traffic problems, increased bike usage, and lack of a safe route here, I believe this is an ideal time to look at the feasibility of implementing protected bike lanes on Prospect.
Could Council please provide direction to take this first step in evaluating what the options look like and how feasible they are? Thank you.

I appreciate the city's commitment to advancing and preserving affordable housing stock within the city. I look forward to seeing the production of more affordable and new housing units with the South Bay Galleria redevelopment and in other places in the city to meet our housing needs.

Let's hope the City Manager isn't selecting the next Police Chief. Residents should have input. We need a Chief who intends to get the streets of Redondo Beach back under control. Get speeding and traffic under control and enforced Citywide, find resolutions to the out of control e-bike problem. Prospect Ave has earned the nickname "Prospect Dragstrip" and Residents are fed up with no action from RBPD. Don't just promote from within the ranks. Find a qualified, effective, law and order leader for Redondo Beach.

Parks and Recreation focus again, while real public safety and noise nuisances get ignored. NO!
