Re: Public workshops for boat ramp in Redondo Beach approved for February 2018 (Dec. 15-28 issue)
Feedback from a Council Member
I just wanted to point out a few concerning aspects of
Councilman Horvath again shows his bias toward the CenterCal Mall. He voted to pass the flawed EIR for the project and rejected an appeal on the EIR approval despite significant evidence of the flaws. Nearly the same appeal was filed with Coastal Commission and the Commission unanimously found significant issues reflecting nearly every point brought up in the appeal. Horvath also chose to ignore every public safety who patrols the harbor on a daily basis by rejecting the appeal on the boat ramp. Redondo’s Harbor Patrol staff and the Baywatch Redondo staff all oppose the Mole B location because it represents a significant danger to boaters in the harbor due to lack of maneuvering space, limited sight lines and the amount of traffic at this critical corner in the harbor. The Community rejected Horvath’s pet project – every precinct in every district voted for Measure C which would scale back the project substantially and require the boat ramp in a safe location. It is a shame that rather that reflect the will of the voters in the city and his own district, Horvath chose to make nit-picky corrections to the article.
