Coffee Hour

​On July 22, 2014 we had coffee hour with the seniors at I-hotel. Coffee hour is a time where we can conduct information from the community and address it to its needs (Board of Supervisors). What better way to understand the community needs through those who roam the very streets of Kearny by asking residents? During coffee hour the seniors were very welcoming and eager to share their opinions. In our group most of the seniors suggested that they want more time crossing the streets and wanted to renovate the bus stop. One of the seniors said, “The bus stop blocks my view of being able to see drivers turn when I cross the street to go to the bank.” This concerns me because when we went out to observe the streets we notice how much cars were turning when pedestrians are crossing. Especially when seniors are always grocery shopping in Chinatown they have to worry about everything they carry and safety of their grandchildren.
