The Paseo committee had many hurdles to overcome to bring the Paseo to completion. Joan Buchanan, along with former Mayor Pinheiro, were the driving forces that kept the Paseo project moving along. Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, Mayor Roland Velasco, other community leaders, members of many Gilroy organizations, Gilroy Citizens, Chamber Directors, Ambassadors and staff were present.
