With all the negative publicity associated with the plan for redesigning Victoria Avenue into a dysfunctional thoroughfare, I would certainly hope the Ventura City Council is getting the message loud and clear. All voting residents of this city should be demanding that the council sit up and pay attention to our concerns and settle for nothing less. After all, isn’t the City Council supposed to be working for us and not the other way around? In my mind, this is the kind of issue that results in recall elections!
