--------------------------------
To the Editor, LA Times:
In welcoming bulldozers to Ballona, Jon Christensen (LA Times, 1/16)
prioritizes recreation and economic benefit for our human species, while
downplaying the damage to what remains of the natural ecosystem.
Massive
reconfiguration of the human-degraded landscape might yield bicycle
paths, but would that be "restoration"? Or should we pursue the less
intrusive path toward wetlands recovery, "just add water"?
Serious
decisions must be made about the recently released Environmental Impact
Report, and it's a mistake to dismiss dissident voices.
—Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown serves on the state's Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission
