THAT CRASH HAPPENED JUST OVER A MONTH AGO AT A BUS STOP NEAR THE WEST PORTAL UNION STATION. >> THE CITY QUICKLY UNVEILED A PLAN TO MAKE THE INTERSECTION MUCH SAFER, BUT AS WILSON WALKER EXPLAINS, THE REDESIGN IS GETTING PLENTY OF PUSHBACK. >> I GREW UP ON WEST PORTAL. MY FAMILY HOME IS STILL ON WEST PORTAL. >> Reporter: MARIOS POSTAL CHASES IN THE HEART OF WEST PORTAL. WHILE SHAKEN BY THE TRAGEDY JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM HIS BUSINESS BUT HE IS AMONG THOSE ASKING FOR A PAUSE IN THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE CENTER SECTION. >> TO TAKE A STEP BACK, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, LET'S DISCUSS IT.

THE ISSUE OF PUBLIC SAFETY, THE ISSUE OF BEAUTIFYING AND MAKING THE AREA MORE WELCOMING, AND THEN THERE IS THE ISSUE OF THE IMPACT TO SMALL BUSINESSES. >> Reporter: LISA MOORE OWNS SIREN BOUTIQUE.
