What is the city's most important issue? Don't get me wrong, downtown has made a lot of great changes, but it is still hard to cross the crosswalks downtown against the light without being hassled. The other day, my friend said that he almost got issued a ticket.

I like the idea of blocking off the street and creating a walking area like they do at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, because I think that would get rid of the problem of pedestrian versus car traffic. That area by Trader Joe's in downtown is especially difficult to pass through.

What would you change about Culver City if you could? Not to repeat myself, but I honestly think that one of the major things that needs to change is the downtown area and the pedestrian crossing situation. I just know that if that were fixed, more people would visit the downtown area, worry free.

Where's your favorite place in town to eat, shop or relax? I think I'm going to be like every other Culver City slicker and say that I go to Ugo Italian Cafe maybe a few too many times a week.
