Manhattan Beach Water is Safe
Recent wildfires have raised concerns about the safety of potable water systems, particularly regarding potential contamination from ash, debris, runoffs and chemicals. However, the City of Manhattan Beach has not been affected, as its main water source, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), is located outside the areas impacted by the fires. This means that the integrity of Manhattan Beach’s water supply remains intact, and the water is still safe to drink. The MWD continuously monitors water quality, ensuring that it meets all safety standards. While fires can cause damage to infrastructure in other areas, the City of Manhattan Beach is fortunate to rely on an unaffected water source, so residents can rest assured that their tap water remains clean and safe.

Aviation Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossings Enhancements
The Beach Cities of Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach are evaluating pedestrian and bicycle crossing enhancements on Aviation Boulevard between Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Artesia Boulevard. This Project is currently fully funded by regional Measure M dollars.
Aviation Boulevard is a major regional arterial street carrying over 36,000 vehicles per day. Along Aviation Boulevard there are few crossing locations for pedestrians and bicyclists. Other than the signalized intersections on the two ends of the corridor, the traffic signal at 2nd Street/Robinson Street is the only signalized crossing location, located approximately 0.5 mile from each end of the corridor. This proposed project will evaluate two additional crossing locations, including potential impacts to vehicular traffic flow, with the following goals:
- Provide safer/low-stress crossing locations along Aviation Boulevard for residents and visitors of both cities who patronize local businesses and return to their residence or vehicle.
- Improve access to transit and bus stops on opposite sides of Aviation Boulevard.
- Encourage walking and bicycling trips between destinations in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach such as Mira Costa High School and Anderson Park, contributing to reduced vehicular traffic and emissions, and increasing opportunities for physical activity.
- Introduce more gaps for vehicles to enter at other unsignalized intersections along Aviation Boulevard.
Share your thoughts online by completing the Aviation Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing Enhancements Survey.
