Gratitude...

Tonight, I went before City Council during the Public Comment period of the City Council Meeting. I wanted to express my gratitude for the Speed Bumps that were put in our neighborhood. I've been so happy with the reaction of residents... I've had many people tell me that they are grateful, that they feel it has been effective, along with the raised crosswalks. I have noticed that people have slowed down...I understand it won't be a cure to the problem, but I know that it has helped. I would also like to mention here how wonderful it is to have Steve Vincent as our Councilman. He is awesome! He really cares about our city & about our neighborhood. I have spoken with him often about my concerns through the years & he's always listened & helped with the solution. I appreciate that. I think democracy is at it's best in city goverment. I love it! I also have to thank Erik Brondum with the Public Works Department. I can't tell you how much I called him & he always called me back! He was great to work with & I appreciate all the times he came out to our neighborhood to observe for himself & to meet with me, he clearly went above & beyond his job. There are so many people I wish to express my gratitude, for the residents in Diamond Summit who have cared & have called the police for patrol, or called Steve Vincent to talk about the situation! I also have to thank my cute family...for being patient with passing out fliers, holding meetings, going to meetings, going to city council & all the things I've done to work on this! Thank you for all who have supoorted this cause...& now, let's remember to keep driving slow!!!
