Comment: I wanted to bring up the problem with crossing the street in front of Clovis Elementary on Armstrong. I recently moved here to Clovis and like to walk my two younger brothers to school every morning. In order to get them to school | have to cross the street with them and have noticed that it's very dangerous. I've seen other families cross the street as well in a hurry. The cars don't respect the speed limit. I'm very concerned for not just my siblings but for these other families as well. It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider making a cross walk in front of Clovis Elementary next to the speed limit sign. It would truly help make our lives easier and more safe. Thank you. ---

Comment: I noticed all the devolvement of new neighborhoods expanding east, what are we doing about adding amenities to the city? For example the Clovis rec center is outdated, the lack of business and entertainment in Clovis is missing; most residents have to go to Fresno for their amenities.
