If anyone is interested in writing city boards and that sort of thing Theres a proposal in Los Alamitos to build a new housing development next to Arbor Park. Looks like 77 apartments and 100+ townhomes/cluster homes. This is the property that is currently an open field, a parking lot, and the Fish/Game office building. That area specifically is a regular spot for Vermilion flycatchers, kingbirds, bluebirds, lark sparrows, etc. The area at large obviously hosts a variety of hawks, owls, kites. This development, in conjunction with the base filling significant portions of the neighboring field with solar panels, is causing a somewhat extreme loss of habitat. If anyone cares to comment, Los Al has a public comment period ending Nov 2. Details in the link below. http://cityoflosalamitos.org/CivicAlerts.aspxAID=106 |
