Rocha emphasized the importance of considering the voices of Latino drivers and restaurant owners in the decision-making process. She pointed out that previous resolutions had been reached in other districts without the need for legislation that could hinder their businesses.
The meeting also featured a controversial public comment from Armando Herman, who used offensive language and made disparaging remarks about various individuals and groups. His comments, which included personal attacks and inappropriate language, prompted warnings from the committee chair to stay on topic. Herman's outburst overshadowed the more constructive discussions and raised concerns about decorum in public meetings.
The committee concluded the public comment section without addressing the broader implications of Herman's remarks, focusing instead on the need for further discussions regarding the exclusionary zones and their potential impact on the community. The meeting underscored the ongoing challenges faced by local businesses and the importance of inclusive dialogue in shaping transportation policies.
