As I Was Saying… (Continued from p6)<br />
I was surprised, and have been surprised, that Aguirre and Vice Mayor<br />
Jeff Gee did not have or give a stronger stance on the issue of high-speed<br />
rail. Both are taking a wait-and-see approach to the issue, as is the council.<br />
I guess it is their prerogative to not take a side, but it would be nice to hear<br />
someone state that a high-speed<br />
Corrin<br />
station is<br />
Rankin<br />
not something we want or need in<br />
our community. Just saying.<br />
.…<br />
In regard 6<br />

to redevelopment funds, or now the lack thereof, many in our<br />
community are concerned about the activities on Courthouse Square,<br />
including 5the Friday night concerts, movie nights and special activities. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
are provided by those funds, and one would think that since the money is<br />
going away,<br />
0<br />
so will they. Well, not entirely correct.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a group of concerned city staff, business owners and residents<br />
who want the activities to continue. Those people have attended a downtown<br />
events “stakeholders” workshop to “discuss the sustainability of Downtown<br />
Events, define a 234 future vision, Marshall and insure partnership Street inclusion.” #100<strong>The</strong><br />
workshop was organized by the <strong>Redwood</strong> City Parks, Recreation and<br />
Community Services <strong>Redwood</strong> department, headed City, by CA Chris 94063<br />
Beth, and facilitated by a<br />
member of the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center.<br />
With the theme of “<strong>Redwood</strong> City Core Purpose: Build a Great Community<br />
Together,” the workshop focused on how to keep downtown events<br />

Results of the workshop will be announced next month, as will a<br />

September.<br />
Is it just me, or are you feeling optimistic too?<br />
