The Village Entrance features a 150-foot long multi-use path serving the Laguna Pageant and Farmers Market motorists. A petition to extend the path to serve pedestrians and bikers was submitted to City Council on Monday 14 March. The petition from Laguna residents requests extending the existing path from the Village Entrance to Canyon Acres and Act V. The extension would serve Canyon residents and Act V visitors to walk/bike/trolley to town without driving, consistent with reducing parking and traffic congestion in LB.
From the Pageant to Canyon Acres is roughly 6/10 of a mile long with an existing sidewalk. Built as a community project a multi-use pathway could feature some inspiring artwork to welcome visitors to the downtown area:
- Street Art (examples)
- Poetry Readings
- Rest Area Seating (examples)
- DIY Bike Service Station
UPDATE: 10 May 6:00pm Les Miklosy spoke to the LB City Council during PUBLIC COMMENT to remind the city the petition was not recorded in the public record despite previous attempts to do so. In the 10 May Agenda there is no record of the comment, the petition for a Multiuse Pathway remains DOA - as planned.
UPDATE: In the 26 April City Council meeting this petition was noted by city staff as "Public Comment (received after Agenda posted)", most odd since the petition was submitted for Public Comment on 15 March 2022. The Petition was not recognized by council members during public session.
UPDATE: As of the 12 April LB City Council meeting no mention of the public petition appears on the city agenda for Public Comments.
UPDATE: This petition with 56 residents participating was submitted to LB City Council and City Clerk on 15 March 2022.
