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.
Commercial redevelopment, a controversial powerplant and an aging waterfront remain top concerns among candidates for Redondo Beach mayor and city attorney ahead of the March 2 elections.

Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand will face three challengers in the March 2 city election. The election will also see Redondo Beach residents voting to fill three council seats, the city attorney’s position and three vacant seats on the Redondo Beach Unified School District Board of Education. Unlike neighboring cities, Redondo did not align its upcoming election date with the general elections.
Mayor Brand, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2019, will face Chris Voisey, a chief technology officer and community volunteer; Michael Ian Sachs, a retired Chevron employee who ran for mayor in 2017; and Shayne Hartman, a proposal analyst from Northrop Grumman.
