Measure ART includes important changes in South Redondo Beach, but we’re also taking steps to protect the rights of existing homeowners while creating new opportunities for commercial investment. Much of the discussion surrounding Measure ART, which will appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot, has focused on revitalizing the Artesia and Aviation commercial corridors in…
Redondo Beach has spent years discussing how to bring new life to our commercial corridors while protecting the neighborhoods around them. Measure ART gives us an opportunity to put that planning into action. I support Measure ART because I want our city to have thriving local businesses, more places to shop and dine close to…
Last week I spent three days in Anaheim at the 2026 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, joining city councilmembers, mayors, city staff, and other local government leaders from across California. The conference is an opportunity to learn what other cities are doing, discuss some of the biggest issues facing local government, build…
A Wider, More Resilient Beach: What Los Angeles County Is Planning for Redondo Beach Los Angeles County is working on several related projects that could have a significant long-term impact on Redondo Beach’s shoreline.

Last week, I met directly with Los Angeles County staff to get a detailed status update on the Avenue A Pedestrian Ramp project.

This project must move through both the California Coastal Commission and…
Torrance Public Works Director Craig Bilezerian recently informed us that Torrance has withdrawn its request to open Avenue H for holiday lights egress this year.

Smarter Tools, Better Service: Bringing Redondo Beach into the Digital Age One of the biggest opportunities we have as a city is to make everyday interactions with City Hall easier, faster, and more transparent.

Strong Businesses Build Strong Communities Redondo Beach is full of potential — and that includes our local businesses.
