We all love the Rose Bowl. I graduated from PHS there, cheered the American Women’s Soccer victory, and took my grandson to the stadium tour last year. And ran and biked the loop and hiked the side trails and enjoyed the golf club lunches. When I went away to college, people thought, wrongly, that I must be a young white-suiter. And I remember the days when football was to build character, not primarily to celebrate extreme strength and commercial success.

The Arroyo Seco trails will clearly benefit from the current project. And we owe thanks to the One Arroyo group for its efforts and contributions since its inception seven years ago. Going forward, we need to keep in mind some of the ongoing challenges.

I attended the public meeting on the Central Library Thursday night and learned some things about public engagement in the repair process. The meeting was in an impressive auditorium, the speakers seemed expert and assured, and about 75 people attended. The project principals told of developing repair plans. I had had the privilege of an earlier meeting with most of them two days before.

We are offered our first chance at public engagement on how best to restore our wonderful library system and to refurbish our emptying Civic Center next week on September 21. We need to prepare to air important questions and comments. At this point, City Council has considered just one approach to the complicated process ahead—to rebuild to the high standards and expensive methods prescribed for a historic landmark at a cost of over $ 200 million.
