City Council Vice-President and District 3 Councilor, Klarissa J. Peña, together with District 1 Councilor Louie Sanchez and District 2 Councilor Joaquín Baca want all Park & Chill participants, spectators, and businesses to enjoy the pilot program this summer. Councilor Peña extends her deep appreciation to Lorenzo "House" Otero and the entire lowrider community for their tireless help. Special thanks go to Councilor Baca and the downtown businesses for their support with starting the pilot at "The Lot" Downtown, and to Councilor Sanchez and Joe Lujan for helping get "The Lot 2" started at Nuevo Atrisco Food Park.
