She stated the City eliminated a BelvinfBishop bus stop and then it was back and those that were impacted the most were not notified. She asked why the City would install a sidewalk in her neighborhood when there are only 8 houses that will be impacted. Why implement this without completing the study? She expressed her issues with the sidewalk project and incomplete sidewalks and the lack of maintenance of the sidewalks we already have. To her the most troubling fact is that we don't care about the artifacts and the trees that will be destroyed. City of San Marcos Page 1
