Oops! We Did It Again!:

In last week’s “Letters to the Editor,” there was an open letter to the City Council from the Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City regarding traffic impact methodology.

The Mirror has since learned the letter was a draft and that many neighborhood groups and individuals signed the letter, not only the three groups listed. Below is the complete list. In addition to the City Council, copies of the letter were sent to City Manager Lamont Ewell, Planning Director Eileen Fogarty, the Planning Commission, and the Task Force on the Environment.

For more information, and the final version of the letter, go to smclc.net.

Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City; Friends of Sunset Park Board of Directors (FOSP); North of Montana Association Board of Directors (NOMA); Ocean Park Association Board of Directors (OPA); Pico Neighborhood Association (PNA); Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition Board of Directors (Wilmont); The Village Trailer Park Neighborhood Homeowners Association (VTPNHA)
