In three words, describe the kind of place you want Southeast Long Beach to be in 20 years.
What about Southeast Long Beach should be preserved for the future?
The wetlands, relatively fluid/moderate traffic (don't make it worse), our diversity and small-town feelWhen visitors come to town, what is the first thing you want them to see/visit/know about in Southeast Long Beach?
That we are a surprisingly beautiful community between LA and OC with a nice small town feel. Want them to experience how safe and comfortable our community is. Want them to know about our Farmer's Market, local restaurants/businesses and community spirit.If the city government could change one thing to make Southeast Long Beach a better place to live, what change would that be?
Something to move people who live locally up and down the PCH/Bellflower corridors faster than a bus but w/out a car - to run errands, dine and meet friends. Like a light rail or trolley. Could be useful for locals and fun for tourists. Could run from Bellflower @ 405, hook south on PCH and stop/return at 2nd/PCH with stops in between at major plazas.How would you address traffic issues in Southeast Long Beach?
See above. But could also install a few public multi-story parking garages in certain shopping centers and interconnect the plazas so they become larger foot-traffic or bike only zones.How would you like to see the Pacific Coast Highway Corridor improved?
Improve the view on the east side coming south or north on PCH between Loynes and 2nd. It is a sub-par visual introduction to SE Long Beach for visitors driving through.Do you walk or ride a bike in Southeast Long Beach, if so, what is the biggest obstacle or problem you face in walking or cycling in this area?
Yes, I walk frequently. The biggest issue is that there are no genuine pedestrian connections between the major areas. For example, being in Marina Pacifica pretty well confines you to that area on foot or bike. Not exactly safe to venture outside on the major streets given traffic patterns.What type of land use (retail, hotel, residential, other) would you like to see more of in the area?
Preserved wetlands but enhanced walking/hiking trails; would like to see some higher-end (premium) retail and condos or lofts of some type, but it should be led by a developer that molds the space beautifully around the environment; Would also appreciate a new parkWhich open space/recreational areas do you value the most in Southeast Long Beach?
The walkable areas around Bixby Village Golf Course; the Marina Vista Park; the wetlandsHow do the wetlands contribute to the character and landscape of Southeast Long Beach?
They send a message to visitors that our environment is highly valued; they are part of our tradition and legacy; they are beautiful
