On November 3, Redondo Beach voters will decide on Measure ART, a set of land-use changes intended to help revitalize our commercial corridors, particularly Artesia Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard, while maintaining protections for surrounding neighborhoods. I’ve heard the arguments against Measure ART, and I understand why some residents have questions about parking, building heights, housing…
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.

Last week, I met directly with Los Angeles County staff to get a detailed status update on the Avenue A Pedestrian Ramp project. While the official schedule has not yet changed, the County has committed to exploring ways to accelerate the process where possible. 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Torrance Public Works Director Craig Bilezerian recently informed us that Torrance has withdrawn its request to open Avenue H for holiday lights egress this year.

Strong Businesses Build Strong Communities Redondo Beach is full of potential — and that includes our local businesses. As both a longtime business owner and a City Councilmember, I see the opportunities we have to revitalize commercial areas, support entrepreneurs, and bring more life (and tax revenue) into our community.
