Garazilla Junior looks like a prison..complete boondoggle.we never wanted this .We still don’t want it and will
vote accordingly,
If you vote for Harwin and Willet you will get a bigger garage that uts into the street and makes street amaller and dangerous.
7:14 – a vote for either Harwin or Willett is a vote for a BIGGER garage. And 4 huge apartment complexes. You have been snowed by the challengers.
We hope that they’re going to repave cottage lot and some of the other lots that need repaving reconstruction Thank you
Monstrosity and hateful and not needed and it will cost us a fortune. BUT Willett said at Candidates Night and elsewhere that extending out over the sidewalk would be good, and Harwin will do whatever Aronsohn and his developer friends tell her. So vote for Knudsen and Sedon because there is NO council member who will give us what we need: a repaved, restriped parking lot. Aronsohn won this round but he wants more, more, more.
“repave cottage lot” No one uses it.
That’s not true we are parking right now and it’s packed.
both sides continue to sink into the best case of the worst case scenarios and
this is not leadership . I am sick of weak leadership.
Don’t forget to add painting a blue line for support of our police over fixing our faded crosswalks. We know where Knudson stands and we will vote accordingly.
Repave waulnut lot.
