Residents have voiced opposition. On the agenda for the July 2 city council meeting, the proposed project is likely to face considerable opposition from the community and council members after a tense public comment period at the last meeting.
City Manager Paulina Morales voiced confusion about where residents had heard that an agreement had been finalized for the project. He said the housing would serve the homeless in West Covina and would not be shelter or voucher program.On a recent Friday around 11:30 a.m., the street and sidewalk in front of the motel was quiet. Next door at Crestview Cadillac customers and employees milled around outside. A short wall and large bushes separates the motel from the dealership.
