Pedestrian-Scale Lighting, Vision for City's Future at Meeting Wednesday

Members of the public are invited to attend a workshop meeting Wednesday to share their thoughts about issues that are important to the future of the City of Imperial Beach.


No actions are taken at workshops. Instead, workshops are held a few times a year for a discussion between City Council, city staff and the public and collective look at IB's vision and goals over the next two years.


A presentation compiled by a consultant will be delivered to explore the possibility of additional pedestrian-scale lighting on Seacoast Drive.

Lighting on the waterfront has been a subject of debate for the better part of the last year between the City Council, owners of the new Pier South hotel and a collection of Seacoast Drive stakeholders known as the Seacoasters.


The meeting will begin with a look at city finances for the next two years.
