Almost every suggestion in this survey takes me back at least 30 years. Has nothing progressed beyond tired old ideas?
What I don't get is how there can be such a disparity between their ideas here and their ideas for 101 Ave.Almost every suggestion in this survey takes me back at least 30 years. Has nothing progressed beyond tired old ideas?
If anybody who works with the city reads this, I would like them to consider this thought - when a nail is bent and not going in, do you just hit it harder? Stop with the cosmetic and superficial street scape improvements and work on more fundamental things
So, we have an area with issues that is struggling. I don't think the best solution is to disrupt it with a lot of construction, which probably causes even more of the struggling street front businesses in the area to close or move.
Right at the very top of the list should be Public Safety. There is a reason people drive and want to drive fast in certain areas. I walk downtown often, I rarely see any police walking around. They just drive by in their cars mostly oblivious to what is going on, except when responding to a specific incident.
Community policing in this city was a great idea years ago, but now has become a total joke. Many of the community police stations are gone or closed or only operate limited hours. Is it any wonder so many people in this city do not feel safe in some areas.
