Community and Communication have similar root words because you cant have one without the other. This is an expensive lesson. The "neighborhood focused folks" at Lakewood City Hall did NOT "intervene" during the approx. six weeks they were getting calls from residents in regards to the enormity of the "dig" on palo verde ave. leaving the area "ripe" for Edison to proceed any way they deemed appropriate without any regard to the residential impact. In a city rich with regulations and restrictions concerning residential contruction and "upgrades" as well as fees this situation screams of unfairness and neglect . Our city government is elected to protect the interests of ALL of lakewood not just businesses...Perhaps now finally lakewood will have more meetings AHEAD of expansion and allow more residential imput in their process.
