State Measure 16 would amend our state constitution and allow the state government to discriminate between Californians based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. Californians overwhelmingly reject State Measure 16. A poll of 1,704 California residents released on September 16 by the Public Policy Institute of California showed voters opposed to State Measure 16 by huge margins. Eighty percent of voters have decided how to vote, and 60% of voters who have decided are opposed to State Measure 16. Californians in every area of the state reject State Measure 16. The poll shows 53% of Los Angeles and 75% of Inland Empire voters who have decided how to vote are opposed to State Measure 16. Elected officials, please join us in defending California's unity and equality by opposing State Measure 16. Don't divide us. Don't amend our constitution to allow the state government to discriminate between Californians based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. Please read this comment aloud in the city council meeting general comments session. Sincerely, Andrew Foster October 14, 2020 To Palm Desert City Council Meeting Regarding San Pablo Corridor Christine Aleman (Owner —Operator) You Dirty Dog 44770 San Pablo Ave. Palm Desert, Ca. 92260 Dear Council, I would like to address / discuss some much needed corrections to the new San Pablo Corridor. • Mid -Street parking area is being used as a turn lane for both directions. • Parking for businesses has been reduced and has become dangerous for customers crossing street. • Curbs and stairs are not properly marked causing people to stumble or fall. • Arrows at roundabout are confusing causing drivers to think they're going the wrong way ... I've witnessed drivers backing up and hitting curbs to change direction. • Concrete island in front of crosswalk on Hwy 111 and San Pablo is difficult to maneuver, causing cars to hit and run over it while trying to avoid other cars in the next turn lane. • The homeless population has become a problem since the re -opening of San Pablo, there is a very visible presence causing negative and concerning comments from patrons. • Water for landscaping in some areas have been turned off causing plants and trees to die, resulting as an eye sore. I hope you understand my concerns and look forward to an opportunity of addressing the council in more detail. Respectfully, Christine Aleman 760-333-3660 © - r co CD rn C- cn rn =ZP O -n O .7
