Rose Park Neighborhood | Rose Park Neighborhood Association

Rose Park Neighborhood Association has been noticed of a proposed Public Hearing scheduled at LB Planning Commission this month for development on the southeast corner of E7th & Dawson. We are including the formal notice below.

We invite residents, business and property owners to be informed and voice their considerations at the Q&A session TODAY January 15th at noon. Please RSVP at info@rpna.org to receive a zoom invite. We encourage everyone to please email their questions and/or feedback to info@rpna.org.

Many may know that RPNA and nearby residents are working with the owner, Matt Hamilton to create the ArtWall at The Friendship Corner at the southwest corner of E7th & Dawson. This community building project took weeks to develop and we hope for further actions in this space.

There are many things to consider. Our need for housing, as well as how we can facilitate improvements for E7th Street, including the walk-ability and pedestrian safety of the neighborhood. We look forward to your comments. In addition, please reach out to the planners listed in the permit. They are aware of our Q&A session and urge residents to submit their concerns to the Planning Commission as well.

Starting in March, things appeared to be up in the air for Rose Park Neighborhood Association. Like many Long Beach nonprofit organizations, we wondered how to move forward with the series of events, resident-led initiatives and street actions. How do we stay connected to residents and their needs during this time, while pressing issues are rising to the surface?

The past 10 months highlighted much needed services for our most vulnerable residents and demanded that we work with community partners to implement real change for safer streets that no longer allows pedestrian fatalities and works to slow traffic speed. This year provided an opportunity to slow down, identify, connect, and develop new partnerships to work toward solutions and action in 2021. If any of these initiatives speak to you, we hope you will join us by emailing info@rpna.org. 2021 priorities include:

Pedestrian & Street Safety

Food Security for Older Adults

Friendship Corner Mural at Dawson & 7th Street – vacant space revitalization

Alleyway Improvement – walkable spaces & places
