The meeting is scheduled to be held at the Crown Plaza Hotel
in San Pedro.
“Over the past decade, we’ve made tremendous improvements
along the LA Waterfront, transforming it into a visitor-friendly destination,”
port Executive Director Geraldine Knatz said in a statement. “The purpose of
this annual meeting is to provide the community with updates on our progress
this past year and what is underway or on the horizon.”
Recently completed projects include Cabrillo Way Marina, the
“Ghost Fish” art installation at the San Pedro Slip, the Catalina Express
Terminal, parking upgrades at the World Cruise Terminal, restoration of Angels
Gate Lighthouse and an all-new Plaza Park. Demolition of storage tanks along
the Main Channel has also been completed.
Since the last annual waterfront meeting, the port has also
welcomed the former battleship Iowa,
which is now a floating museum, and "Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles,"
a large-scale craft marketplace.
Waterfront projects currently underway include the
Wilmington Marina Parkway, the Downtown Harbor “water cut” promenade, design of
the Front Street Beautification Project and increased vehicular signage and
parking along the water’s edge.
Future projects planned to be discussed during the public
meeting include the Wilmington Youth Sailing Facility, Avalon Triangle Park,
the planned AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles urban marine research center and
redevelopment plans for Ports O’ Call Village.
The port says there will be a public comment period to offer
feedback and ask questions.
