There was an informal meeting in Redondo today about the boat ramp proposals being considered. The Coastal Commission is requiring the city of Redondo to add a boat ramp for increased public access as part of the waterfront remodel project permit. The Redondo Beach Waterfront Director Steven Prow and John Moore from Nobel Consultants presented at the meeting.
The City displayed a number of sites and designs around King Harbor...none of which will be done in the very near future...especially this one which is the most expensive version with $6,000,000 just in new breakwalls.
The hand launch facilities (kayaks & SUP's) in this version would be at the new Seaside Lagoon that would be open to the harbor.
Nobel Consultants looked at all the designs that have been presented to the city since the 50's. They had designs for at least 4 different sites in the harbor with both single lane and double lane ramps and anywhere from 20 trailer parking sites to 40...the trailer parking places were 40' long.
It's a tough project to locate with all the developed and prime real estate along the harbor.
There are two more public meetings coming up...
March 9th 6pm at 403 N. PCH, RB 2nd floor of the main Library.
March 14th 6:30 Harbor Commission Discussion at 415 Diamond St. RB
