The city has put out a survey to see what we want. It doesn’t take long to complete on the face of it. There are many items for you to consider. What we suggest is that you identify those items or conditions you don’t have enough of to make life tenable. In other words, what is important for you! City survey And remember to add items at the end like. . .open school yards on the weekend or shelters for all bus stops. Big or small, if it is important for you then it is important to include.

Rose Park created a space and time to connect on environmental and climate issues with its annual Spring Time by the Sea. This year this effort was stymied a bit by the stay-at-home restrictions. Our working group rallied to turn this obstacle around and in short order re-thought and re-vamped to Safer by the Sea! You’ve seen the fish!
And maybe you’ve heard the story of Swimmy, the inspiration. If not, then next week watch for a series of joint environmental and climate media posts with our essential partners, a re-read of Swimmy in English and Spanish – well worth it for all ages, and then a virtual exhibit of the art. NOT TO BE MISSED.
The historic Rose Park neighborhood is located in the City of Long Beach, California
