The Public Works Department of Gardena has been cutting down trees in our city. The problem is--the trees are not being replaced. The one pictured on the left, at 15829 Dalton, near Marukai Market, an inside source tells the editor, has allegedly been cut down and covered by a barricade for over a year. Not only is the wooden barricade a hazard for pedestrians, it's an eyesore and diminshes the quality of life in our city.

There's many more just like this. I emailed the city before on a street request for repair, never happened, never even got a answer.
Yeah, no kidding. There are 3 stumps right in front of Smart N Final on Redondo Beach Blvd. I don't know how long they've been sitting there like that.
What pisses me off is that the city tries to look good by bringing in these stores and then they don't keep up the maintenance. No wonder most people like to shop in Torrance (me included). But look at the choices we have--all low-income clientele business. The 99 Cent store and more drug stores you can shake a stick at. Can't we aim higher than this? And as far as the 99 Cent Store, it's fallen into shambles.
I've been hoping for a Trader Joe's in this city but I know they respond to a higher standard than what Gardena has to offer. And what happened to the Senior Housing Project that was approved by the City Planning Commission? Shot down, of course, by the city "leaders." Not in their best interest," obviously. Now there are condos going up on Artesia.
Shame, shame, shame on our city leaders. The only thing they're interested in is what they can reap for their own agendas and most likely their own pockets.
Thanks Gardena Watch. This is a Godsend for people who feel so frustrated. We want better for ourselves and this city.
