Letters to the Editor 9-28-23
I was disappointed to see The City of Hermosa Beach support the Metro Green Line Extension ROW (right of way) option in their recent letter to the Metro Board of Directors. I agree with all their points on why more public transit is needed in the region: ease congestion on streets, reduce pollution, and offer more methods of transportation to all, especially those in underserved areas. The single reason they stated to support the ROW option is cost. This is short sighted. We cannot continue to plan just for our immediate future. This investment deserves to be made with a larger intent of sustainability and purpose. The Hawthorne Boulevard option would utilize a space already dedicated to transit and business. It would revitalize the area by delivering people directly to the future South Bay Social District (currently the South Bay Galleria), and beyond, to Torrance. Yes, the ROW currently has a freight train and underground pipes that shuttle fuel north. But freight train trips have decreased to just twice a day. With proper planning and support, it would be reasonable to eliminate the freight train and dedicate that corridor to much needed open space and a bike path, furthering our goal of a greener and more connected region. I urge Hermosa Beach to reconsider their position on this important issue and to advocate with Redondo Beach for the Hawthorne Blvd. option.
