Gutierrez leads meeting on stop sign
It was a one man show at the public works subcommittee meeting yesterday with Councilman Rex Gutierrez in charge. He was probably loving every minute of it.
A stop sign on Hillside and Amethyst was on the agenda and a subcommittee consisting of Gutierrez and Councilwoman Diane Williams was supposed to hear residents' concerns. Unfortunately, Williams' husband had to go to the hospital for surgery and she couldn't make it.
It took four hours for Gutierrez to drive to the two-hour meeting. He came from Delano, or as he called it, De-lame-o.
About 30 residents, mostly supporters of the stop sign, attended. Three spoke against the stop sign but one later retracted his objections after hearing arguments for it.
The issue will be addressed by the full City Council at the beginning of next year.

My name is Rey Lavalle. Although I'm not real computer saavy, I've managed to start a " Facebook" group called "Amethyst & Hillside Stop Sign Bunch". All in the hopes of making that intersection more safe by re-instating the stop signs. Looking for pro- stop sign members. Thanks.
