Long Beach Unveils Naples Island Trail Plan Tied to $21M Seawall Fund Crunch

The Sorrento Trail, a waterside walkway along Naples Island, is linked to further seawall repairs in the area. The project, also known as the Sorrento Alamitos Bay Shoreline Trail, traces back to a 2013 Coastal Commission decision that tied trail construction to the Naples Island Seawall Repair Project. As the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported in 2017, the state Coastal Commission ruled that Long Beach had to reconstruct the trail as mitigation for Naples seawall repairs carried out in the water. That same report noted that the second phase of those seawall repairs was on hold at the time, pending Coastal Commission approval of the trail's design plans.

Commentary: California’s super-rich conquered the world, but not always the voters

On a clear evening in Los Angeles, a fundraiser can fill a garden with people whose companies are household names on three continents, while a few miles away a city council race turns on potholes, rents, and a school bond. That contrast is the quiet drama of the California super-rich. Their products shape how the world works, shops, and talks. Their checks can flood a campaign. Their names open doors in capitals far from Sacramento. Yet California voters have repeatedly shown that fortune is not a proxy, and that economic reach does not guarantee a winning argument at the polling place.
