ACTION ALERT REMINDER: March 17 Meeting on Downtown Plan

March 17, 2011 · Filed under Uncategorized

This is a reminder to please attend a very important meeting on the Downtown Plan, which is being held tomorrow/Thursday, March 17 at 5:00 pm at City Hall.  The following are the details:

Public Study Session (on the Downtown Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report)
Thursday, March 17, 2011 – 5:00 p.m. – Planning Commission meeting
City Council Chamber, City Hall
333 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach
FREE Parking at City Hall parking structure off of Broadway.  Bike racks are also available in front of City Hall entrance.

Downtown is our home and for some of us it is also our livelihood.  If we do not take care of it and actively work to ensure that it grows and blossoms into what we all want and know it can become, no one will. The Downtown Plan affects each and every one of our daily lives directly and we all have as big (or bigger) a stake in the future of Downtown as anyone, so it is vital that we make our voices heard and make a good showing on March 17 at the Study Session.

Because other groups will be wearing green, we want to differentiate ourselves, so please wear a white shirt to show our unity!
