The proposed Venice Dell Median Project and its history are well known to many of you. In recent weeks, the project has been the focus of renewed attention. Among the concerns I have heard from the community include its environmental impacts, threats to coastal access, parking, cost, and scale. You deserve to have your concerns addressed. Watch my video below.
Veterans Row Update
For several months, numerous veterans were living outside the Veterans Affairs campus. This week, every one of them has been housed! I want to extend my deepest appreciation to Village for Vets, VA social workers, and our City, County, and Federal partners for their efforts in making this happen.
Our beaches are a repository of the city's trash, which harms our marine habitat and wildlife. Through events like the Coastal Cleanup Day, we not only clean our shores, but make a powerful statement: We care. We care about our city, our beaches, our oceans, and the rich tapestry of life they support.
