The Bridge to NO WHERE????

By Lillian Carrillo Puentes

Candidate for Council Member; City of Santa Fe Springs

This information is provided by the candidate
Why a Bridge? Why not a NICE Restaurant on that corner? Why did we spend SO MUCH Money on something we don't use?
My name is spanish means Bridges. It is ironic because one of the biggest waste of city dollars in my opinion in our city is the bridge on Telegraph Road. We could of did so many other things with that money. Why didn't we bulid an underpass on Los Nietos Road like the one on Telegraph? The residents would of been very happy, one less train to not have to wait for. We need to start moving with the times, the city needs a chain restaurant like Claim Jumper or Cheesecake Factory. All around us Downey, Norwalk, Pico Rivera and Whittier they are growing, residents are spending money in their own cities. Not Santa Fe Springs residents, we have to travel to other cities to dine, shop and create tax dollars. Hopefully I can work with the current council to see what we can do together to modernize our city and move with the times and changes.I obviously want people to know that I am not going to go into office like a bulldozier and try to takeover, of course not. I want to share my ideas, listen to council and staff's ideas and "TOGETHER" make "SOUND" decisions that will benefit us all.
