Costa Mesa’s Westside is ripe for a revamp

“Get out the gangs and improve the neighbor- hood. Create more jobs

for people.”

DAVE PARKER, 38

Costa Mesa

“I don’t live in Costa Mesa, but I visit here a lot. You can

improve the road, 19th street.

JOE CHRISTEN- SEN, 37

Fountain Valley

“I have only been here 2 1/2 years. There is always room for

improve- ments, whether it’s the Westside or the Eastside. I don’t

see any drastic problems around here, especially not in the physical.

The problems that are affecting the Westside are affecting the whole

world. “

SONNY LARUSSA, 62

“Finish the roadwork. I don’t know, Costa Mesa is pretty nice. I

can’t think of anything, just fixing the roadwork.”
