She said parking management plans could also help. “They took out the (Red Car) trolley and the tracks, they’re putting a park in the middle of the trolley right-of-way (on Harbor Boulevard), so moving people is the biggest issue.”Īnd sending folks to 22nd Street for parking, she said, won’t help traffic issues through town.Įlise Swanson, president and CEO of the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, said an upgraded rubber-tire trolley system could help, noting that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation also is about to embark on yet another parking study in San Pedro. “My biggest hope is that they figure out some sort of off-street transit,” said Diana Nave of the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council. Using more of the remote areas to the south will mean getting a stronger public transportation system in place to move folks through town, Galvin said. Memorial Day weekend’s LA Fleet Week saw some parking issues because of cruise ships also being in port over the same days. The issues of traffic and parking are gaining prominence as San Pedro goes through a rapid change via a development boom, including plans for a new waterfront opening in early 2025, an amphitheater coming in as part of that development, a boutique hotel in downtown, and a growing number of midrise, mixed-use buildings going up that have brought thousands of new residents into the heart of downtown and near the waterfront.Ī ramping up of the port’s cruise business, meanwhile, has created some new issues. While last weekend’s Fleet Week went smoothly, Galvin said, “a little more parking would help, generally.”
“Especially with more regional visitors, it’s going to be critical. “Parking is a big component,” Galvin said. Water taxis, trolley systems, digital signage and parking will all be addressed, Galvin said.Īmong additional input needed, he said, was from more Rancho San Pedro residents. The contract with the firm conducting the study - SWA Group, Inc., which worked on Redondo Beach’s King Harbor - was set to run for a year, until this July, but has been extended until October, said Mike Galvin, director of waterfront and commercial real estate for the Port of Los Angeles. Spring and summer offer a rapidly changing and beautiful assortment of flowers, and incorporating them into your landscape images is a recipe for success.A plan designed to better physically connect people to where they want to go in San Pedro is expected to be unveiled soon - but it’s still unknown whether it will solve all those traffic and parking problems in the fast-changing port community.Įither way, though, there will be plenty of anticipation to see what will be on the recommended list that’s expected to be unveiled across several meetings during the summer and early fall.ĭubbed the connectivity plan, the proposal should roll out this summer but will ultimately have to go before the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners.
If you'd rather take advantage of what summer has to offer, then his second tip is likely up your alley: include flowers. He enjoys shooting buildings, monuments and cityscapes during the summer, in part because it's not necessarily obvious that it's summer. Interestingly, Iversen's first tip is to not rely on the season for your photographic subject. Photographer Mads Peter Iversen has published a new video offering up nine great tips to turn possible summer frustration into lovely landscape photos. However, hidden among the impracticalities and frustrations are some amazing photo opportunities. It's challenging to get up early enough to take advantage of a 4 a.m. Summer means very early sunrises and late sunsets. For landscape photographers who live at mid to high latitudes, summer is not so much fun. For many people, it's a fun and joyous time of year.
