EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to satisfy Goal 3.3, Objective #56 of the City’s Strategic Plan, the proposed Agreement with Fehr & Peers, Inc. (Fehr & Peers) would facilitate a study of on-street and off-street parking utilization along Aviation Boulevard between Harper Avenue (Hermosa Beach border) and Artesia Boulevard. While the initial goal was to include the study of parking utilization further southwest along Aviation in Hermosa Beach, the City of Hermosa Beach is not ready to partner in the analysis at this time.
