Re: “Disney Plans to base cruise ship in L.A.,” March 31:
The story notes the promise of new area jobs, but no specific berthing details were included.
As with all port developments, San Pedro residents have been forced to live with the well-documented and serious risks to our health and quality of life.
Plans released by the Port of Los Angeles late last year favor the Disney ships docking at new berths to be built right in front of the only remaining unspoiled area of our waterfront: the town’s small beach.
This area provides the only summer relief for thousands who deserve a better view than a giant floating billboard for Mickey.
The community has submitted recommendations to the port for a win-win solution to berth Disney in the commercial area of the port, close to downtown, waterfront businesses and current cruise ship terminals.
It’s the right thing to do.
