The empty lot that sits at Alamitos Ocean, kitty-corner to the famed Villa Rivera, has had talks of development: two towers, one 18 stories on the west and the other a massive 35 stories on the east. The first rendering for the 18-story residential high rise that will “create an important gateway to the eastern edge of the Long Beach downtown core has been released.
According to Bar Architects, the San Franciscan developer heading the project for what is currently deemed cheap flight ticket a confidential client, the Shoreline Gateway tower will be a mixed-use contemporary structure cheap flight ticket to sit in the long-empty parking lot. Included in the development will be not only commercial space but a new public plaza that will create “a focal point for public activity and a link to the existing neighborhood to the north.”
cheap flight ticket Harkening to early SoCal modernists, including Killingsworth, Schindler, and Neutra, the white aluminum cheap flight ticket panels and massive amount of glass reflect the ocean-themes that many of the downtown high-rises of the 1960s and beyond have enveloped in downtown Long Beach.
After moving from the small mountain town of Big Bear to attend CSU, Fullerton, Brian subsumed himself in biopsychology. However, cheap flight ticket after having experienced the power of writing while volunteering in Tanzania, Brian shifted gears entirely and opted to get a Master of Fine Arts in writing from CSULB. He loves Long Beach and welcomes all readers to introduce themselves, especially over a cup of coffee.
While I support the redevelopment of Long Beach downtown, I strongly disagree with the methodology the city is using to execute and attract developers. This complex will significantly cheap flight ticket impact the local residential areas due the the city s reduction in required parking spaces for a complex of this nature. Long Beach needs to recognize the issue with parking and use these development opportunities to improve the conditions throughout the city instead of making them worse. In fact, the residents/renters that have spaces in this complex will be sadly surprised when they have to drive around for an hour to find parking.
cheap flight ticket not to worry Reid, the guy that owns the lot next door is already building a gated parking lot that he will charge at least $150 A MONTH to park .I live at atlantic and ocean and now pay $50 in one of two city lots that will exsist no more after this buildind goes up. Thanks lb council for reducing the number of parking places in an area that is already parking impacted.
Any building that size is required by law to have parking for every unit. so its a non issue. Its only the really old apartments that never had parking cheap flight ticket that cause problems. That is why rent is so cheap.
I think this is a good thing for LB. Especially for downtown. If you want it to be a clean safe place to live, the reality is you have to push out the lower income elements that exist there now. Albertson s is gone, maybe if we are lucky Walmart will be next.
I really wanted to ignore this reply, but I couldn t. Please elaborate, lower income elements (such as inexpensive grocery stores) equate to unsafe neighborhoods? I m not a fan of Walmart as much as the next person, but I m fairly certain what creates unsafe environments would be the actual unsafe acts themselves and not affordable food and clothing.
Please don t make this into a race issue. He is simply putting the horse before the cart Walmart is not here to lure lower income elements as he put it they are here because there was a large population of lower income individuals that would benefit from and frequent a Walmart. When that changes, then the promenade will no longer be a profitable location for Walmart and they will move. The process of Gentrification has already begun and too much money has been spent to stop it it is not a race or class issue, it is simply business. It is about money and property values. That s it.
This would be constructed across the street from the 16-story Villa Riviera, which finished construction 85 years ago in 1929. I think it is safe to say that the majority of Long Beach s history has included high rises on the waterfront and this project will only add to it.
There is actually lots of parking in downtown Long Beach. It s just that it is not all *free* parking. I sympathize for certain cheap flight ticket less-abled folks, cheap flight ticket and I think accommodations should be made and are being made for them. But at the end of the day, downtowns aren t supposed to be areas with lots of free parking. They re supposed to be vibrant, walkable environments. And I think the increase in the number of residents with this project will add to downtown Long Beach s vibrancy and the burgeoning renaissance already taking place.
BS. So where do you think we people that live in these high rises on the waterfront will park? You cannot have it both ways. Heres the deal, the city makes these sweetheart deals to big projects by lowering cheap flight ticket the amout of required parking per resident, basicly saying FU to the people.
As populations urbanize, driving (and parking) becomes more expensive. Eventually people stop owning cars and start taking taxis or trains, like in New York. The only thing that keeps car ownership remotely affordable in cities like Los Angeles cheap flight ticket and Long Beach are massive goverent-mandated, privately funded subsidies, like parking requirements. It sounds like you re saying that any new residents of Long Beach owe it to you to pay for your parking because you were here first.
You cannot compare the public cheap flight ticket transport of Los Angeles to that of New York or other over populated urban cities. As someone who has done their Masters and extensive research on public transportation, LA must improve their system before citizens can stop owning cars. Yes, it has improved immensely over the decade but there is still a long way to go (no pun intended) before we can compare ourselves to New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Edinburgh, etc.
I live in Alamitos Beach and commute only 9 miles to Harbor City, yet if I wanted to take the bus to work it would take me over an hour and a half. Cycling to work is a solution, but that particular route is not the safest with the numerous freights. I take full advantage of the bus system Long Beach has to offer when I can. Need groceries? No problem. Going out for the night? No problem. $1.25 bus fare is much more affordable than parking, better economically, and a walk does everyone good. But this area is a joke when it comes to parking. cheap flight ticket Want to entertain guests on a weekday night? Good luck. Worked a long day on your feet? Well there s a 1-2 mile walk waiting for you after you park.
I would love to give up my vehicle. I ve lived in cities with no vehicle before and it was marvelous with their great public transport. I agree the population should give up their cars and switch cheap flight ticket to public transport, but limiting parking is not the solution. Alternative methods of transport must already be established and successful before anyone would or could give up their vehicle.
I think it’s a chicken-and-egg problem, and nothing will happen if we don’t take initiative on both sides of the problem, both supply and demand. I took public cheap flight ticket transit in LA for seven years before I got a car, so believe me I know how ridiculous a long-distance transit commute is here.
I think it s the lack of regional transit planning that causes the problem. Why does LA County have so many disconnected transit agencies? LB Transit is great within Long Beach, but it should really be a part of Metro. In fact, OCTA should be part of the same agency, so I could get to work in Santa Ana in under 2 hours.
No, I don t have children, and yes, I m okay with my taxes paying cheap flight ticket for other people s children to go to school. Also, I have personally benefited from society s decision that all children must go to school, as I myself went to school, as has pretty much every other adult in this country.
Anyway, cheap flight ticket the costs and benefits of parking and other car infrastructure are much more directly quantifiable than the benefits of eduction. Parking subsidies also tend to be more regressive than progressive wealth distribution because non-drivers are subsidizing drivers, not the other way around. (Yes, you could try and make a point about how taxes paying for public transit are progressive, and therefore more equitable, but really a lot more money goes into encouraging people to drive than encouraging them to walk, etc.)
So in addition to being a quantifiable cost and a regressive wealth redistribution scheme, free parking is not directly comparable to teachers and doctors because it is demonstrably harmful to society.
I also have a car, and I am totally okay with paying for parking and paying tolls on expressways because the broad consumer choice when confronted with the true cost of driving will cause the city to be a place where I don t *need* to drive as much.
I have acquired a parking space at the Travelodge on the corners of Atlantic First Streets for $90 per month, the Marriott rents spaces for $125 per month. It s the only place in walking distance from Ocean Alamitos, there simply are no other places for residents to park.
If we could only wiggle our noses, waive a wand or snap our fingers and see all the negative issues merge into a positive cheap flight ticket overnight I would be more agreeable with John H. However, there is going to be suffering that will impact everyone. Even those who already have parking will suffer for other reasons. It takes so very long to solve these issues and create balance thanks to government. I wish the transit systems were more upscale maybe an executive car that charges more and offers a bit more comfort to business people cheap flight ticket who would leave their cars behind cheap flight ticket and travel to work via the Blue Line if it weren t so ugh nasty and scarey. cheap flight ticket That could be one way to fix part of the dilemma. Also perhaps a stronger structure with high enough ceiling heights to allow for parking lifts that provide two cars in the space of one Offer this to the buyer of those units with one spot at the t
