Veterans Parkway, commonly referred to as the Greenbelt, winds through Manhattan Beach, covering 21 acres and attracting both runners and walkers.
The Mira Costa cross country and distance track teams use the Greenbelt frequently for training runs. However, a recent incident, in which one athlete’s shoe, and foot, was punctured by a wood chip, brings up concerns about the composition of the trail.
The City is currently working to develop a Landscape Master Plan for Veterans Parkway and is seeking community input. Residents are encouraged to share their opinions at a series of workshops. The next workshop is April 11th.
