Incumbents ahead in Redondo Beach election

Incumbents ahead in Redondo Beach election SHARE by Rachel Reeves If preliminary results hold, only the board of the Redondo Beach Unified School District will change as a result of this week’s citywide election. Less than half of ballots cast were counted before unofficial numbers were announced, at 11:11 p.m. on Tuesday. According to those numbers, incumbents are ahead in the races for mayor and city attorney, as well as council members in Districts 1, 2, and 4. None of the three school board members whose terms expired ran for reelection because they were termed out.  “Other than for District 4, it’s been a blowout for the incumbents,” said Mayor Bill Brand, who captured 68 percent of the preliminary vote in his reelection bid. Council District 1 incumbent Nils Nehrenheim, who received a majority of his district’s votes according to Tuesday’s count, expressed a more measured view.

Letters to the Editor: 2-18-2021

Dear ER: A traffic circle? Really (“Many a close call on Prospect,” ER Feb. 1, 2021)? As if gridlock isn’t enough of a problem on Prospect Avenue, south of Aviation Boulevard, where the street is only one lane in each direction. Now our out-of-touch city council wants to put a traffic circle in at 10th Street. Speeding traffic is not the problem. It’s not possible to speed down Prospect with all of the stop signs along the way. The problem is stopping at the stop signs. Trying to slow down traffic that is already slow will do nothing but cause a line of cars to back up onto Aviation. The solution is to enforce drivers to stop at the stop signs.The time, money and effort involved in the useless studies, construction and implementation of these so called “traffic calming” measures would be better spent in enforcement of our traffic laws that are already in place via stop signs.
