I don't think it was a mistake. The City is leading by example. Keeping sidewalks clean andRead More unbroken from roots....there are LOTS of trees around. Its not there aren't. Besides, who's to say they won't later plant Olive trees or something that won't jack up the sidewalks and take away views!

Laguna changed for the worst when residents who loved Laguna were, over time, displaced by those whoRead More love themselves.
Joanne Sutch May 15, 2013 at 02:11 pm
There is certainly a case, Rich, for buckling sidewalks and safety (which is what City CouncilRead More claimed...along with a $300,000. payout for slip and falls over the past 5 years.) That being said, there are other far less drastic measures that could (and should have been taken years ago). The ficus trees in front of the old persian rug store were not a mistake, they were a request by the new tenants who are trying to "historically" recreate the old building. I'd like to know what trees were "historically" there. They certainly were not New Zealand Christmas trees ( the City's planned on replacement tree.) I object to the City selecting the trees, as there seems to be a "patchwork quilt" effect that is happening. Just like the main entrance to Laguna, we need a new, well thought-out, hammered out tree plan. We also need the City to fund and maintain our trees, which has been sorely lacking (due to budget and lack of any importance being placed on them). I wonder what else we're going to find out re: what other payouts we've been making for other things. (For instance, how much have we paid out for people being hit in the crosswalks? I'll bet that it's a lot more than $300k in 5 years. If not, I'd be pleasantly surprised. ) Perhaps our City officials should be more up front with us about this kind of information, as well as about budget matters. That transparency seems to be missing in the last year or two. If I'm not mistaken, the $ in our capital budget for improving and repair/replacing some of the street end banisters is being re-routed for the beginning funding of the parking garage on Broadway and Forest. Know that more trees are in peril, so, in addition to blogging, everyone please take a moment to express your concerns to each of our council members and our city manager via e-mail or personally. They don't even seem to think that these tree removals deserve to be on the City Council Meeting Agendas (or at least not until the 12th hour). Thanks.

Wow! There are some hungry, imaginative "sales people" out there! And the ego's behindRead More their "gypsy wagon beliefs" is costly to fools who part with their bank accounts only because of their grief of a loved one has not progressed thru the stages of grief. I wonder what "tonic" is next out of a "psychic's" circus tent? Sick.
El Toro Resident May 14, 2013 at 12:49 am
Thanks Louie, I was just having fun with you.
Louie Wilson May 12, 2013 at 08:01 pm
You guys are a riot. You seem to want to debate me on the subject matter when all I did was complainRead More that the article that Rich wrote is badly written. We're not discussing mediumship; we're discussing bad journalism. Rich doesn't seem to understand why I think what he wrote is unfair. I guess it's his prejudice against the subjects that is blinding him. If an Orange County surgeon left a scalpel in a patient's body, would he write an article about that surgeon and start off by saying: "Well, it's been a bad week for surgeons."?

Dear Junior, I'm so sorry for your loss. It seems that Armando was a really wonderful person.Read More Everything I've read about him is just awesome. If you are comfortable with contacting me, I know someone that has some information about this tragedy and would like to share what they can with you and his family. Again, I'm so sorry for the loss to your family.
Joanne Sutch April 14, 2013 at 12:35 pm
Everyone, please e-mail all of our council members and city manager with your opinions. Things getRead More changed when their e-mail is flooded. Then, show up at the next City Council and voice your concerns. While your at it, take a look at the downtown plan that is being implemented as we speak, and the trees we'll be losing. There must be a better way!
Joanne Sutch April 13, 2013 at 10:45 pm
It's heartening to hear so many concerned and fiscally responsible Lagunans. I, too, am concernedRead More and would like more time and information before agreeing to dig. Did you know that Councilwoman Iseman has an alternate plan, using the tennis courts as part of the parking. Instead of a 29' parking structure hers would be an 18'foot structure, with additional parking across PCh at the tennis courts. I want to hear more about her plan before committing $38 million+ to this project. As we speak, the 10-year capital plan is being revised to accomodate $5 million for the next 2 years for this project. I would like to know what is being wait-listed for this project. Who suddenly deemed this Laguna's #1 concern? I urge everyone to immediately: 1) go to the next City Council meeting and voice your concerns and 2) e-mail each and every council member and our city manager. Be heard. No offense, but I want more than our Council and City Manager determining such life-changing moves in Laguna. Remember-they are constrained by governmental constrictions (eg: the low-bidder on projects). We have a superior community and deserve top notch planners, builders, etc. As for the people in town, I totally commiserate. However, know that the next 3-5 years will be an absolute nightmare with this work. One of our biggest parking problems nowadays is construction vehicles and also construction workers own private vehicle parking.
Laguna Streets April 9, 2013 at 01:50 am
Mark: There are dozens of alternatives to the automobile, you can find some of them posted atRead More LagunaStreets. There are even more outside the bubble of Laguna, municipalities are adopting alternative mobility plans all over the US and Europe. The resistance to alternative mobility comes from city hall, from community leaders who stubbornly refuse to consider new ideas and acknowledge success in other communities. They don't even listen to professional advice they paid for. I parked my car in the garage in 2006, have not driven it since. I live and work in Laguna and live on "top of the hill", I regularly reach any point in Laguna - most frequently by bicycle, often by scooter or bus. The health benefit from riding a bicycle around Laguna should be obvious.
