A resident, Nora Chavero of 3106 Esperanza Avenue, told the commission that the north end of Esparza Avenue between Van Avenue and Miguel Brown Park "is almost impossible for girls to see us" when walking at night and asked the city to address the safety concern.

The mayor asked the city's directors to follow up. Staff asked the resident to speak with Director Cruz after the meeting for assistance; Director Cruz and staff will be the point of contact for follow-up on lighting or other safety measures.

The transcript does not include details about whether the issue will be resolved through new street lighting, a repair, or another measure; staff directed the resident to the appropriate department for next steps.
