More than 40 residents turned out last week to voice their concerns over a recent report on future development and traffic plans for Santa Monica. They demanded that elected leaders put into effect a “zero” to “minimal” growth policy for the city over the next 20 years. In light of the controversy, city officials are urging staff to make sure the public’s comments are heard as the land-use plans move forward.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “How can City Hall best understand and represent the will of citizens in formulating development plans for the future of Santa Monica?”
