Striping concerns: "I have a big concern about pedestrian walkways across intersections. They're not being kept up. Take a look at the intersection of Leavesley and Murray. It's one of the busiest intersections in Gilroy. A while back the Dispatch put together an article on pedestrian accidents in the city and ...
