The City Council's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meets today to hear updates on several issues: the status of the Long Beach Breakwater study (which could lead to taking down parts of it), the use of Measure R transportation funds (approved by voters last year, it created a countywide half-cent sales tax), towing operations efficiencies, the permitting process for construction on wetlands and open space, and sports team field fees (which were increased this year).
In some cases, the three-member committee may forward recommendations to the full council, but nothing binding will be approved today. Still, these are some interesting items on the agenda today. See the agenda here.
The committee meets at 4:30 p.m. in City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.
