The Belmont Beach Aquatics Center, with 2 Olympic-size pools and a platform diving pool, will cost $82 million and was approved in January 2020 by Long Beach City Council.

THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! HOW: We urge you, and your friends and neighbors, to send your email comments to the California Coastal Commission by 02/04/21. Send it to:dani.ziff@coastal.ca.gov
Subject Line: Public Comment on 02/04/21 - Agenda Item Th14a - Application No. 5-18-0788
We’re a group of residents opposed to the project because of future sea-level rise (the beach site is expected to flood in 30-50 years), the cost ($82 million, from Tidelands Funds) and the fact that there’s already an existing outdoor pool at this site – installed 5 years ago when the old Belmont Pool was demolished in 2015.
But only you can tell the Coastal Commission that there are places in Long Beach with a greater need for recreation and sports facilities! The entire City of Long Beach has only 3 public pools Long Beach needs more community pools and this pool should be built in a neighborhood where more Long Beach residents can easily reach it to enjoy the benefits of swimming and recreation.
Subject Line: Public Comment on 2/4/21-Agenda Item Th14a - Application No. 5-18-0788 Paid for by Long Beach residents who believe there’s a better place in Long Beach for this public pool.

(Feb. 1, 2021) -- A gunfight at midafternoon today (Feb. 1) -- with rounds exchanged by multiple suspects -- sent an uninvolved woman to a hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds -- in the NLB neighborhood west of LB Blvd. and south of Market St. (CD 8/Austin.)
LBPD Public Information Officer Brandon Fahey says that on Feb. 1 at about 1:30 p.m. officers were sent to the 100 block of W. Plymouth St. regarding a shots call. "Through their preliminary investigation, officers determined multiple suspects exchanged gunfire and fled the scene prior to officers arriving. "Officers later responded to a local hospital regarding a report of a gunshot victim and contacted a female adult victim who sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to the lower torso during the incident. At this time, the victim is not believed to be a suspect. "Officers located evidence, including strike marks, indicating a shooting had occurred." As separately reported by LBREPORT.com, in January 2021 the area encompassed by CD 8 + CD 9 + CD 6 had a per capita rate of person-hit shootings exceeding the City of Chicago.
