Reminder: Breakwater workshop on Wednesday
The first of three community workshops on the Long Beach Breakwater will take place Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Belmont Plaza Pool, Banquet Room, 4000 E. Olympic Plaza.
The city wants the public's opinions as a Breakwater Reconnaissance Study moves forward to examine the possibility of reconfiguring the Breakwater, which rings Long Beach's coastline. Supporters of changing the rock barrier say that by opening it up, the city's coastal waters would become cleaner and more natural.
The workshop will include:
- An overview of the Long Beach Breakwater Reconnaissance Study
- Opportunities to share ideas, concerns and questions
- A hands-on design workshop
Each workshop will feature smaller interactive breakout group discussions to identify opportunities and constraints regarding any potential reconfiguration of the Long Beach Breakwater. The other two workshops will be Oct. 29 and Nov. 19.
