Chuck Boehmke of the Clearwater Program presented a slideshow showing proposed construction areas where a new wastewater tunnel may be located. The chosen 4–8 acre site will have between 50 to 100 truck trips per day for seven (7) years to bring in equipment and remove dirt. The Palisades locations being considered are White Point Nature Preserve, Royal Palms Beach and Angels Gate Park.

Tonight there is a public meeting sponsored by the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks to find out how you feel about the parks and recreation space in Los Angeles, specifically San Pedro. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Peck Park Auditorium, 560 N. Western Ave. in San Pedro. Whether you are for open space, youth sports or (gasp!) both here is your opportunity to help the parks department with their five year plan.
If you cannot attend the meeting there will be a second meeting February 11th in Wilmington. You can also fill out a simple 8-question online survey which can take less than 15 minutes of your time. Community input needs to be received before the end of February so act now.
