In an open message to 3rd District Councilman Gary DeLong and East Division Police Cmdr. Cynthia Renaud, Belmont Shore Residents Association president Aileen Colon has launched a new effort to bring Rum Row on Second Street under control. The following is her text:
Dear Gary and Cindy:
Find a string of e mails below from a frustrated Covina Shore resident. Note the apparent number of accidents that have occurred on his street.
Can you as City of Long Beach representatives perhaps meet with the BSBA - President do some thing to improve/maintain our quality of life.
Would you meet with the appropriate stake holders, to ask them to make every attempt to ensure their clients are not over served alcoholic beverages.
While it may be a difficult task for some employees to recognize when they need to stop service, a positive effort needs to continue. Appropriate training or retraining of the servers/bartenders appears to be needed. Other measures also should be taken not limited to this particular issue that iminate from the liquor/entertainment businesses should hold brain storming sessions to "solve past identified problems" is needed.
Can your offices please get together and determine what as responsible officials/business owners can come up with to solve and mitigate disturbances that occur regularly.
This message is a plea for you to do some thing positive to curb drunks and the incidents that occur from their condition. Please feel free to contact me.
Aileen
