This is my comment. <br />Hopefully you can include it: <br />My name is Loreta Ruiz and I am the owner of La Vegana Mexicana on 4th St. I am also a resident of Santa <br />Ana. <br />My name is Loteta and I am the owner of La vegana Mexicana on 4th st and I am also a resident of Santa <br />Ana. <br />I would like to comment on the construction of the OC streetcar. <br />First I want to thank the city of SA for the financial aid to help us with some of our rent in expenses and for <br />allowing free parking at the City's structure. <br />But as we commented in today's meeting with OCTA, the aid is not enough. The construction is deeply hurting <br />our businesses, our sales, and physical and emotional well-being. Our sales.have dropped over 60 per cent <br />because of the closureS not only on 4tth st, but on Santa Ana Blvd and Civic Center, and the crossing streets to <br />and out is 4tth, from Minter to Spurgeon and NOT recently, but for the last two years <br />This issue does not affect only business owners but workers who rely and depend on us to bring food to their <br />tables. If there are no sales, we need to cut hours. <br />On behalf of the 4tj st. Merchants and SA residents, we invite you to review the street closures and the absence <br />of workers in the construction sites that prevent 4th st accessible to clients and residents. <br />Thank you <br />Loreta Ruiz <br />La Vegana Mexicana <br />(714) 602-0100 <br />
