Written suggestions should be submitted to the City of Long Beach, care of Jill Casey, Public Information Office, City of Long Beach, 333 W. Ocean Blvd., 13th Floor, Long Beach, CA 90802. The City will forward the suggestions to the project developer, Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (DDR).
The deadline for consideration of written comments is 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 2.
To be considered, all comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the submitting party. The City Manager’s Office will make the comments and DDR’s written responses available for public review in mid-April at the Main Library, 101 Pacific Avenue.
