REGULAR MEETING February 11, 2019 Council to another, we are able to say we can see some improvement and some potential return of a real quality neighborhood. Forty-five (45) years ago when I worked for the Streets Department, we would call this place the Twilight Zone because anything was liable to happen. I worked the midnight shift for a while over there and it was. I found a bullet hole in my street sweeper one (1) time. I could tell stories, but this is not the time for it. So, thank you for all that has been done and thank you, Conrad, and all the folks in your area. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic stated, Thank you to everyone involved. Councilmember Karen White stated, I would like to add my words of thank you. Not only to the Administration and the Planners but also to the community stakeholders, the citizens and the various neighborhood associations. Coming together and making a commitment for their neighborhood really illustrates sticking to it and we see what is before us. This is not just a plan or document that will go on the shelves, as I said in Committee, this is a living document that will guide future discussion, priorities and funding. I can see the change now within that particular area. Again, when individuals come together, and they work collaboratively, they think beyond the box and we have this type of plan we are taking action on tonight.Thank you to all the partners, the citizens, the neighborhood association and everyone making the statement of not moving out of the neighborhood. They are staying and making it better. This is what we have now. Thank you very much. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to adopt Bill No. 19-03.
