The first hearing of the final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be this Thursday, June 5 at City Hall (411 W. Ocean Blvd) at 5 p.m at the Planning Commission. Show up to speak out for green space, clean air, and a healthier future for western Long Beach.
Each person in attendance may speak for 90 seconds. Riverpark is working to coordinate our public comments. Sign up here to let us know which topics you’d like to cover!
Please plan to arrive by 4 p.m. to find parking and check in with Riverpark volunteers. The first 100 people can pick up a t-shirt. We will have speaker cards available with talking points. We will also show you where to sign up with City staff to speak.
Show Up. Speak Out. Shape the Future.
