📬 Brad Waller — District 1 Newsletter

September 15–22, 2025

Dear Neighbors,

This week reminded me of why local government matters most — from celebrating a century of learning at Beryl Heights Elementary, to pressing for progress on long-delayed infrastructure projects, to welcoming you into community spaces that keep Redondo strong. It’s a good reminder that what we build and protect together today is what our kids and neighbors will enjoy tomorrow.

 Below you’ll find updates, events, and ways you can get involved.

⚓ Public Safety & Civic Life

🔹 Avenue A Pedestrian Ramp — Still Pushing Forward
 I hear your frustration with the Avenue A ramp project — I share it. Progress has been slow because the County is in charge, not the City, but I’m in ongoing communication with my County counterparts. Safe coastal access is not optional; it’s essential. I’ll keep pressing to move this forward faster.

🌊 Economic Development & Waterfront Access

🔹 Public Boat Launch Workshop — Sept 23
 After years of community input, we’re close to bringing a new public boat launch to Redondo Beach! This project will expand safe, affordable access to the water for local and regional boaters. Please join the workshop tomorrow to share your thoughts. Your input will help shape this critical project.
📅 Sept 23 @ 5:30pm | Redondo Beach Main Library (upstairs)

🎓 Education & Youth

🔹 100 Years of Beryl Heights Elementary
 On Saturday, I joined the Beryl Heights community to celebrate 100 years of learning, friendships, and neighborhood spirit. A century of teachers and students have left their mark, and it was inspiring to see alumni, families, and kids honoring that legacy.

🔹 Perry Park Teen Center — Re-Opening Party
 Youth spaces are about safety, mentorship, and joy. On Sept. 25, come see the refreshed Teen Center and meet the partners who made it happen. Bring a friend — or your drummer (thank you, School of Rock!).

Thank you for being part of our Redondo Beach story. Every project, celebration, and neighborly moment adds up to something bigger — a city that feels connected, safe, and proud of its future. I look forward to crossing paths at one of these upcoming events, or even just out walking the neighborhood at sunset.
