We need more park space. It's not about a little revenue, it's about quality of life. This district, and the entire west side region is severely lacking green and recreational areas. Cause or effect?

This is important for our community.

LB must do a full environmental impact report!

Don't let Developer$$$$
ruin Long Beach any further!

I want more green space in my city

This has been an open space that I have enjoyed as a green space with my family (the golfing green). Even after the golfing shut down we would still see rabbits hopping through. The dirt hills right next to the river area are great for outdoor sport biking too! Please keep this area open with greenery and not cement for parking or storage!

Significantly concerned over potential toxins from this site, and the industrialization of one of the last bits of potential green space for west Long Beach.

I am signing because what happens in the lower reaches of the river affects the entire watershed. As a resident of Los Angeles, I am alarmed by the idea that the 3701 Pacific Place Project could proceed without a full EIR, and that the developer seems to have commenced various dangerous activities that show a flagrant disregard for both environmental safety and community wellbeing.

Further, I strongly object to the City allowing industrial zoning and use for this property when it had been committed as open space and parkland in City plans from 2007 through 2015, as well as being earmarked as necessary and valuable public parkland in both the Lower Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan and the Long Beach River Link .

The use of the land parcel as a storage, car wash, RV parking, office, and warehouse facility would be a lost opportunity to the West Long Beach community as well as the Los Angeles River watershed more broadly, and I add my voice in insisting that a full Environmental Impact Report is required before any further work proceeds.

This river-adjacent land is too important and too precious to be squandered in this way, not to mention that there are a plethora of related detriments including stirring up of contaminated soils, loss of amenity for users of Los Cerritos Park and the community in general, and declining property values because of the industrial land use. This is the wrong project in the wrong place, and makes a mockery of the extensive efforts to revitalize the Los Angeles River and take care of the wellbeing of river-proximate residents and ecologies.

The City of Long Beach can and must do better than this.

This is not how you sustain a community and wellness for all.

More park space in Long Beach benefits residents and visitors alike. Additional green space allowing for safe, outdoor recreation is much needed on this side of the community. This site should be reviewed (with an EIR) and not further developed as commercial property. A paved lot and parking for a storage facility - without full review and opportunity for public comment - should not be permitted to continue. Public funds should be earmarked for preserving or adding green spaces, and this site and the community would benefit from transforming it into a park rather than a concrete lot.

I want clean air and open space!

(Long Beach, 2021-03-20)

#830

I'm signing because I believe more green space is needed in this part of Long Beach.

(Long Beach, 2021-03-22)

#832

I also would like to see as many public spaces next to the river be utilized as parks.

(Long Beach, 2021-03-23)

#833

I have a family to protect and the community should be safe for everyone.

(Long Beach, 2021-03-23)

#837

We need more green spaces!! It will be better for the health of the community! There are dozens of storage centers! Help our environment and do right by LB citizens!

(Long Beach, 2021-03-23)

People before profits. A parking structure inherently is making money for vested interests. Parks can be enjoyed by everyone

(Long Beach, 2021-03-24)

#842

build more parks instead. The zip codes by the freeway in East Long Beach have lower life expectancy (5 years) compared to residents of west Long Beach and more green space could improve health outcomes in the zip codes.

(Long Beach, 2021-03-24)

#845

I do not want storage built. This should be used for a park or homeless center.

(Long Beach, 2021-03-25)

#846

I am signing because this needs to be stopped. I am a Tribal member of the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County. We work hard to stop developers from doing what they are trying to do to your tribe and property. There had to be a full Environmental Impact report done.

build the River Park we need something like this in this part of Long Beach

(LONG BEACH, 2021-03-30)

#856

Because I live near the area and I want to know the real environmental impact in the community

(Long Beach, 2021-03-31)

#857

I believe in out cause. We do not need another parking lot..Another lovely park ? Oh gosh yes. A place here in the knols to relax have BBQ's. Bring family and friends. you bet. Help with purifying the air. Always very good. . Ol Mother earth will thank us as well. Stop overs for migrating birds of all kinds.

I oppose a parking lot built at this site. A River park would be better suited at this location to provide west Long Beach with another green space that it is severely lacking.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-01)

The ducks need someplace to go. I shoo them away from my pool 10 times a day.

I believe Western Long Beach deserves to have more park lands available.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-02)

#868

I would love to see more green space in North Long Beach. It will be so great for the air and for our faimlies to have a place to gather and play. Thank you.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-02)

West Long Beach deserves green space! Make Long Beach a green city for ALL of its residents.

Wow the green people the righteous people want to make West LB a dumping ground for people with to much stuff.

(LONG BEACH, 2021-04-03)

I have family who lives in this area and deserve to have green spaces like all the residents in Long Beach. Also, we need to invest in saving our environment and green spaces help in doing that.

I want more green space and a safer community environment.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-05)

I'm signing because there is a lack of public parks in West Long Beach. Would love to do more outdoor activities with family.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-07)

#884

I don't want any building to happen. We need more green space and so do the flora and fauna.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-08)

it's only right to put a park, not a business!

(LONG BEACH, 2021-04-08)

My son needs more places to play & run with better air quality.

Putting people before profit should always be the number one priority as well as ensuring the integrity of any project. West Long Beach needs more green spaces and better infrastructure.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-12)

#895

I see parks as a great way to improve the health of the community.

(LONG BEACH, 2021-04-13)

#897

Keep this area as a nature reserve and park not an urbanized area for the sake of shopping and expansion, destroying the integrity and safety of Bixby Knolls and surrounding communities.

(Long Beach, 2021-04-13)

We need more parks

I would like for my children to have a safe and local park to go to.

The health of my neighborhood should not be sold.

(Long beach, 2021-04-21)

I am signing up because even though I’m not a reading of the beautiful city of Long Beach , I often find myself in Long Beach parks and I love them, it has made a big difference in my health having access to such parks . I hope we can stop this storage development dearly .

This is essential - ultimately - to the health and welfare of our community.

(Long Beach, 2021-05-05)

I believe open space and trees are needed to sequester nearby freeway pollution. I believe developed spaces should not be in or adjacent to floodplains. Parks are what make Long Beach better than other LA County cities.

(Long Beach, 2021-05-07)

#915

Like most cities in USA, Long Beach has too little park and open space. And the west side of town is worst.

I support a long term transition of the major rivers to open space, with broad riverbeds that can handle floods intermittently, and provide green space in dry weather.

(Long Beach, 2021-05-12)

We need more trees for the environment, we’re already destroying the planet enough!

(Long Beach, 2021-05-12)

I live right next to this

I'm tired of being lied too and ignored by the city council who's only object in life is to get re-elected!

(long beach, 2021-11-08)

#921

The City has been playing fast and loose with developments all over town these past few years. We must have accountability and be made to follow the rules and protocols for the safety of the citizens and their constituents.
