Does Pine Avenue need more trees or places to sit? Would adding more lighting affect the street's image?
On Aug. 17, residents and merchants will get to weigh in on a project that seeks to improve the look of Long Beach's iconic business corridor.
The Long Beach Redevelopment Agency has launched the Pine Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project in an effort to improve the area around Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach.
The project will look at improvements on Pine Avenue from Shoreline Drive to Eighth Street, as well as Third Street from Pacific Avenue to Long Beach Boulevard; Broadway from Pacific to Long Beach Boulevard and First Street from Pacific to Elm Avenue.
"Design solutions will focus on streetscape improvements including improved sidewalks, pedestrian scale lighting, street trees and related landscaping, decorative hardscapes, public art and a palette of street furniture that provides a desirable identity to the experience of all street users," according to the RDA Web site.
The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. on Aug. 17 at First Congregational Church, 241 Cedar Ave. Call 562-570-6615 or e-mail RDA@longbeach.gov for more.
