He would like to see that there be some contribution made to improving the intersection for not just cars but also for bicycles. There is a BMX park right across the street and it is an accident waiting to happen. She is interested in seeing whoever is at that corner in the east side contributes to this trail. In addition, she never wants a future Council to go through what they did in terms of Stoneridge Drive. It is crucial that a plan be in place to connect El Charro to Stanley and 1-580 and it should be done while the plan is developed and infrastructure is there. While costly, it is absolutely crucial.

She thanked staff for their hard work to get the City where it is, public members for their feedback and opinions, and Commissioners and fellow Councilmembers.
