Carolyn Naber:  Carolyn is a City of Pasadena Transportation Advisory Commission Member, a past president of the West Pasadena Residents’ Association and a current Linda Vista Annandale Association Board Member.  She has lived in Pasadena for over 24 years and currently lives in District 6.  She has extensive knowledge of the transportation and traffic sections of the Environmental Impact Report for the Rose Bowl Renovation Project.  She says “the EIR found that the NFL would generate 38,000 new car trips through Pasadena on each and every game day and would send 18,000 cars into the Arroyo.  Because the NFL stands to profit from parking in the Arroyo, they have no incentive to reduce car trips or move the cars elsewhere.  Seventy-two percent of the cars will be parked on the golf course or our children’s soccer fields and play areas, and I don’t want to imagine the damage these cars will cause.”

Elizabeth S. Trussell:  Liz Trussell is an attorney with Citibank (West) in Glendale and is a former member and immediate past Chair of the City of Pasadena Planning Commission.  Liz lives in District 4 and is extensively familiar with the Environmental Impact Report for the Rose Bowl Renovation Project for the NFL.  Liz specializes in contract law and she has serious objections to Measure A, the NFL ballot initiative with respect to “it is poor government to set forth the complicated deal points that will forever govern the contractual relationship between the City and the NFL in a complicated Initiative.”
