I especially liked your next-to-last paragraph about needing new housing stock in the form of “good positive growth.” You end by reminding us that we need a positive solution. I hope that your voter base is listening and will work together with the rest of us residents for the win-win situation you refer to. Certainly that is my position too.Dora P. CrouchSanta PaulaFine fandango!To the Editor:It was wonderful to see the participation in the activities at the Gazebo this Saturday. The music, dancing, the colorful costuming. A thumbs up to all the people who worked so hard to put this activity together. These are the things that make our community special! I am aware that many other functions have been held there and I hope many more will follow!This is an example of what we are capable of doing as a community. Our Planning Commission of eight years or so in the past had a vision. Our current City Councilman Rick Cook was on that Planning Commission along with the others who worked very hard on this project, which was not an easy task because it involved blocking off a street and people were not in favor of that because it would cause inconvenience. We are fortunate that the plan prevailed, look at what a showcase area our Gazebo has become!!The Gazebo is a facility for our community as a whole. It has added ambience to the Railroad corridor and the people that visit our community via the Fillmore Railroad are also able to enjoy the area. Let us continue to make good use of “Our Gazebo” and make it one of the focal points for our community. It will show people that visit our City that we all work together to make positive things happen!I see another mural in the works!! What a positive image these murals have been for our community. We have many people to thank for their dedication to our community. Our Railroad Corridor is becoming quite the tourist attraction, it is such a pleasure to see all these projects add so much to our community!Thank you to the Planning Commission and to the City Council from years gone by that you had the foresight to follow this project through to its conclusion!! Thank you to our current City Council for working so well together for the betterment of our community.Maiya HerreraSanta Paula
