i like the idea of having a cover over the small parks with small playgrounds. it helps to keep the not so hot in the summer time and i like the idea of a fence or gate around it to keep kids in and safe.

have school groups (kids need service hours) or church groups to sign up to clean and maintain city parks. This would create personal pride in our community.

develop the land between meridian and ironwood

While there still arent a lot of houses out there, add a large complex to compete with REACH 11 so that we can attract large tournaments to Mesa.

As a public amenity improvement, the city or maybe even private owners should consider placing several water fountains alone the downtown pedestrian corridor.

Save fuel and promote clean air in downtown by providing electric cart shuttles for Mesa City employees to move between buildings for meetings. Electric golf carts could be driven and operated by AmeriCorps volunteers or retirees looking for ways to volunteer and be involved and used to shuttle city employees between buildings such as Solid Waste and MCP.

Route the light rail down Dobson to Southern servicing the Fiesta district. Along Southern to Gilbert or Power then back north to Main and returning westbound on Main. There are several reasons to do this one to serve the Feista District and having only one line returning thru Main Street. This would also reduce the congestion thru Mesa.

Stop looking for income on the backs of retirees. We are poor, and cannot afford more taxation, such as the option ("carrot") of reducing sales taxes and INCREASING property taxes.

Bring out Cory Mc Closkey of Fox 10 to highlight Power Square Mall and area restaurants and businesses.
