Fullerton Shuts Down Pedestrian Plaza

At a Fullerton City Council meeting, community members and business owners submitted overwhelming support for keeping Walk on Wilshire as a pedestrian plaza, including nearly 2,000 signatures and support from ~70 businesses. Public turnout was so high that the city opened an overflow room for public comment. During the discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Fred Jung publicly expressed support for a full street closure; 1 month before the 2024 election. Three months later, after the election, the council voted on a full closure. Jung voted no, and the item failed on a 2–2 vote. This clip shows some of the main points.
