    I am in support of the district and agree with the proponent’s comments. We have owned our Strand home for over 50 years. There is a large utility pole just outside our kitchen window. Undergrounding the poles will greatly increase the aesthetics of our neighborhood and the safety of all residents. Thank you!

    I strongly support the removal of utility poles along Hermosa Avenue and relocating the utility wires underground, safely out-of-sight. This was done south of Greenwich Village (26th Street) years ago - why not complete the remaining half mile north to the city limits? Manhattan Beach would have removed similar ugly poles decades ago if they were located along the MB Strand.

    I live at 2812 Hermosa Ave and strongly support the undergrounding of the poles. The undergrounding adds safety, reliability, and improves the look of the neighborhood dramatically. Substantial benefits to property values for Strand and Hermosa Ave. residents.

    Hello. We strongly support undergrounding the poles. They are ugly and unsafe. We believe everyone will be so happy when they are finally down. Thank you.

    I am an owner that lives at 2634 Hermosa avenue as well as several other properties in the area. I am in support of the undergrounding of the utilities. Not only will removing the poles clean up our view, but I think it will make this busy area much safer for our families.

    I am an owner that lives at 2640 Hermosa avenue and I am in support of the undergrounding of the utilities. Not only will removing the poles clean up our view but I think it will make this busy area safer.

    We have lived at our home on the Strand for over 40 years. We see this project to underground utilities as a rare opportunity to enhance the values, and use and enjoyment, of all properties on both sides of Hermosa Avenue to an extent greater than the associated costs. Accordingly, we believe this undergrounding project is clearly worthwhile and should be implemented upon approval by the requisite number of ballots.

    I fully support the wire undergrounding for practical and asthetic reasons. Thank you!
