Riverpark Coalition Files Suit Against City to Save the Future River Park
We at Riverpark Coalition are proud to announce that we have partnered with the prominent environmental watchdog organization Los Angeles Waterkeeper and have filed suit against the City of Long Beach to save the future River Park!
You can read the full text of our press release and lawsuit here.
Specifically, our lawsuit seeks to force an environmental impact report (EIR), which is necessary to address significant environmental, biological, recreational, and cultural impacts that the RV parking lot and self-storage development at 3701 Pacific Place would present. We hope and expect this lawsuit to forestall this ill-conceived, anti-river revitalization, anti-open space equity project.
This parcel has long been promised to the western Long Beach community as its future river park and nature preserve for the last 25 years in river master plan after river master plan. The City of Long Beach has gone back on its word and greenlit InSite Property Group to build yet another addition to the concrete commercialized wasteland characterizing so much of the river. And they did it illegally, without the required EIR under the California Environmental Quality Act.
We will not stand for it. We have just begun to fight for open space, river revitalization, and putting community first over corporate exploitation.
Here’s a video of our most recent announcement, and the Community Roundup event that followed!
