City Council and staff delay in utilizing Measure V funds must cease. The beach around the Pier must be cleaned up.
According to Heal the Bay there is migrating fecal matter there at the beach around Santa Monica Pier. It's the worst polluted beach on the western coastal U.S. Santa Monica cannot continue to ignore this health risk. Residents passed Measure V two years ago and City Council and staff have done nothing to clean up this disgrace. They don't even have signs posted there warning swimmers and beachgoers. That's outrageous and criminal. I want the area around the Pier immediately closed for swimming. It needs to be cordoned off. There was discussion during a recent City Council meeting of broken sewer pipes there. Immediate temporary action needs to be taken while expeditious permanent clean-up and repairs are done. I would demand that the City make this its top priority.
