Council adopts restorative justice elements for 710 Freeway stop; Pasadena remembers Betty Saar and Gerald Franey

Justin Chapman reported that the Pasadena city council unanimously adopted 10 restorative-justice elements tied to the 710 Freeway stop project, committing to affordable-housing targets, a community oversight board and home‑ownership assistance for displaced families.

Chapman also noted the recent deaths of two notable local figures: Betty Saar, an assemblage artist whose work is held in numerous institutions and who had an installation at the Huntington Library running through Nov. 30, 2027; and Gerald Franey, who served as the first African American president of the Tournament of Roses Association and had a three‑decade law‑enforcement career. The broadcast presented these as separate items in the show's lightning round and did not include council members’ remarks or biographical details beyond what Chapman provided.
