Alma Castro City Councilor in District 1 and am here to ask for your support for an event
at Frenchy's Field. I would like to promote other forms of transportation besides cars.
We would like to do an event at Frenchy's Field, sort of like a block party. We want to
bring folks in the neighborhood, and we've had a great reception from Casa Alegra
neighborhood. I think it's time that we started investing some resources there.
