Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal is granting an early holiday wish to Alamitos Beach residents who find it hard to park in their neighborhood.
The 2nd District representative will celebrate 24 new parking spaces at 1st and Cerritos Avenue at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
Lowenthal's office released: "The installation of new all-way stop intersections on 1st Street at Bonito, Cerritos, Gaviota, and Hermosa is to calm traffic speeds and reduce accidents; the installation of crosswalks at all intersections to reduce the size of intersections and emphasize pedestrian safety; and the creation of 24 new parking spaces by strategically shifting angled parking spaces, reducing red zones, and eliminating expired blue zones that are no longer needed."
Lowenthal worked in partnership with the Alamitos Beach Neighborhood Association's Parking Committee, which put together a report on the pavement and cub markings along with street usage and alignments that might allow for additional parking in Alamitos Beach.

hooray ..
more parking snafus by drivers waiting for spaces to open up ....
it's already bottlenecked with people double parked outside ...
thank long beach for their wonderful zoning...
apartment buildings next to residences next to commercial enterprises...
just like the pine avenue fiasco, long beach zoning says it all ...
creates congestion when it doesn't need to be ...
simple solution: if apartment buildings don't have sufficient internal parking for its tenants ...fine them ....
solution will be is that the budget deficit would be overcome in no time...same with commercial establishments on broadway..no parking...ticket them...
case closed...
Good to see the city paying attention and acting on a "quality of life" issue. I think this is great.
