Could one of the staff historians @ FFFFF please post the history of that “park” in its own post. What little I know is that the place is toxic due to some issue that the Gas Company had, the park changed name virtually overnight after the sign saying “paseo” was already installed and there really is no one other than some washed up old Tokers Town losers that hang there anyway

Admin, you mean “warm and fuzzy” enough to lie?

Fullerton Michael,
Actually, Susan unt lied to the council. There never was a “community meeting” she lied to the council.

She was so set on the word “Paseo” that she told the council the community choose it at a community meeting that never took place. It’s amazing how certain words make certain people feel warm and fuzzy.

Admin, are you telling me that the Susan Hunt (City Staff) did not invite you to the meeting they held to discuss the naming of the park and you own the building next door to the park and you lived 1 block from the park?

Thanks for reminding me Harpoon, Susan Hunt told the Council the “community” decided at a “community” meeting that “they” choose the name “El Paseo Park” where the UP Park now sits (half contaminated-1/2 open).

I spoke up at the council meeting and reminded the council that as the property owner of the adjacent property the historic Elephant Packing House and as a member of the community (at the time I lived just 1 block south of the park) “some how”, I was never notified of any “community meetings” and suggested to the council that the park should be named after the Union Pacific who owned the property for the prior 100 years and was the home to the historic Union Pacific Depot prior to the Redevelopment Agency stealing and moving the Depot building to the north side of the tracks where it now sits as the Spaghetti Factory.

Matt, too funny! The way I hear it, City staff wanted to name the UP Park “Paseo Park” but got shot down hard by admin!

And be sure to use the term “paseo” at least twelve times during a presentation to prove that you are interested in community.

Mr. Nelson,
Tell ya what. Next time the city wants a report with manipulated data, let FFF do it for half the price in 1/8 of the time. We can even throw in some French phrases at no additional cost, and make sure the entire team shows up smoking gauloises, wearing skinny jeans with black t-shirts, and matching berets to present la preuve.
