  1. I cannot thank everyone in our community enough for this change of direction from the City Council! I know that it only occured because of the voices that were raised in defense of our family home. It is very encouraging to see them change course and I know that more can be done to create a Library and preserve a Park for current and future generations of Walnut Creek citizens to cherish and enjoy. What we are seeing is Democracy in action, not inaction, and government whether local, state or national will be as responsive as we are involved.
