A push to repeal San Jose's 30-year-old ban on cruising has cleared a major legislative hurdle.
SAN JOSE -- A push to repeal San Jose's 30-year-old ban on cruising has cleared a major legislative hurdle, passing the city's Rules Committee and advancing onto a vote before the full council in mid-June.
Peralez said lowriding and cruising was rooted in the civil rights movement, becoming a symbol of resistance, and a way to preserve Mexican American culture. But by the early 1990s, lowriding became synonymous with crime and gang activity. "We're asking that the council do not take away this tool. This is a tool that we use to ensure the safety of the public. And this is something that, while right now it is not a tool that's been used very often, It is something that we do not want to lose out of our toolbox," said Donohue.
Councilmembers Chappie Jones, Dev Davis, Sylvia Arenas, David Cohen, and Raul Peralez voted unanimously 5-0 to advance the repeal for consideration before the full council."I'm so happy to see it coming back," said Reed.
