Playa del Rey Accomplishments

2007

Refurbishing Dockweiler State Beach
Supervisor Knabe participated in a dedication ceremony for $14 million in new facilities at Dockweiler Beach. Improvements included replacement of four restroom buildings, an entry kiosk, refurbishment of maintenance and lifeguard facilities, a concession building, new playground equipment, and upgrades to the recreational vehicle park with conversion of all spaces to full hook-ups, and parking lots.

Expressing Disappointment in Conclusion of LAX Runway Studies
Supervisor Knabe announced his disappointment in the conclusions reached by studies commissioned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) that called for moving the northernmost runway at LAX at least 340 feet north into the communities of Westchester and Playa del Rey. Each report came to the same conclusion with little, if any, discussion of available alternatives.
