(3) Maria Elena Gonzales representing Barrios Unidos <br />NABV stated there are 80 family members with established roots and <br />homes on Gravel Street. This area is like family to her, as they <br />have known each other a long time. Ms. Gonzales stated the Bond <br />Committee has been insensitive towards the Gravel Street residents <br />in not holding a public hearing to know what they want. Also she <br />stated two long time residents have recently died, and the timing of <br />this matter is insensitive. (4) Mary Lou Salazar was not present <br />when called upon to speak. (5) Ray Stone was present to discuss the <br />possibility of a cross-town expressway at Riverside. He stated <br />there are no sidewalks, and it would not be a good area to increase <br />traffic through this neighborhood.

(6) <br />John Cooper stated he encourages the Council to vote for the <br />Commuter Rail on this agenda. (7) John McBride stated it is <br />difficult for citizens to know what has been agendized and wants the <br />Council Meetings on public access television. (8) Anna Mendoza <br />spoke on behalf of Mrs. Salazar who stated they live on Riverside <br />and are opposed to more traffic being routed through their <br />neighborhood. This would change the neighborhood, and she does not <br />think any of the neighbors want this to happen. <br />Mayor Moore introduced for consideration approval of an appointment <br />to the Cemetery Commission.
