It will be good for Mesa to have ASU football play there home games for 2 years at MCC it is close to ASU and will being pepole to Mesa and Fiesta and being money in to the city and will help ASU football.

Spook Hill Preserve on the NE corner of Brown and Ellsworth is the last hill property in Mesa with views of the mountains surrounding the valley, great sunset/sunrise views, and is frequently used by runners and walkers. Depressed property values make this a great time to set aside the hill for area residents.

This is a high use park with a great deal of social activity. Many older and handicapped users who would greatly benefit from the shade and opportunity to plug in a coffee urn while their dogs cavort.

There is a perfect plot of land, that our neighborhood needs to become a safe place for everyone to play. :)

Currently there are no dog parks east of Greenfield and the 202 to the north and one at Southern. Dog lovers from as far east as Gold Canyon make the drive to these parks so their four legged friends can enjoy a good run and soscialize with others. While it is enjoyable to walk around the fishing lake on the path, it would be so much better to run free untethered.

Aviary at Pioneer Park sounds great but believe that in addition a public art collection would be a tremendous draw and enhance Mesa's cultural diversity. A Public Art Committee could be formed to solicit donations/pieces of art for placement in park. City's only cost would be insurance and dedication plaques. It would build over the years and I believe become a "go to" place in Mesa.

Gate all the alley ways that are no longer in use (formally used for garabage pick up). This helps to cut down on graffiti on the fences, people driving in them and using them to do drugs or other illicit activites, cuts down on foot traffic as well and people using the alley as a dumping ground.
There are programs out there for this idea, I have seen in it in use in my neighborhood. Would be great to have this city wide.

The game soothes me.
Forget blue-prints=NO!
I will build my garden and
'castle' using the explicitly
lovely settings! Bye!

The MyMesa smartphone app is great for reporting & photographing graffiti, etc, but it would be nice if we could add the ability to photograph & report city code violations to code enforcement too.
It is much easier to snap a quick picture & enter an address & select a violation type, than to try to remember to enter the details once home.

I believe that most dog owners would be willing to pay a small fee to rinse/dry their pet after play time at the dog park. I frequently visit the park with our dog and there are times I don't want to put her in our vehicle because of the dust/slobber/mud acquired during our visit. It would be great to have the capability to give a quick rinse and dry before entering our vehicle. Soap wouldn't be required, just the capability to have a "quick rinse" and dry (with a towel from home) would be all that would be needed.

We have many dog owners in the community that would love to have a place for our dogs. It is such a large space if built at the west end of the park it would leave probably use less than 30% and create a multi-use park. Three sides of the fencing is already there along with parking. The one side of fencing, a double gate, some trash cans, a spigot for water and a couple of benches is all that it would take!

We need to beat out the bad movies coming from Hollwood. There are too many resources here not to.

Arizona became a state in 1912 so why don't we have,
"Mesa 1912 Days" with a parade, best 1912 costume contest, contest for best men's 1912 mustache, bands, street dance, picnics with races and contests, 1912 cooking contest, Ice Cream Social, Hay rides, horse and buggy rides around town. In Feb we have beautiful weather here in Mesa for visitors to come and explore. At some point Mesa might even have something going on all the month of Feb.

The city could:
1) make commercials showcasing the citizens of the citizens.
2) Make a documentary about the citizens about the people.
3) Have a showcase event at the Mesa Arts Center where they set up something similar to a farmers market where they showcase the artists and the small businesses of Mesa.

The goal would be to capture the soul of Mesa and show it to the people in Mesa and people outside of Mesa.

Small businesses have a hard time providing health insurance and retaining talented employees. Utilize the local network of health providers to offer a local, affordable health plan that people and businesses can buy into. By cutting out third party insurers more money will go directly to the healthcare provider, reducing costs. This will have a positive economic impact, increase livability and could make Mesa a leader in fixing the US health care crisis.

An abuser registry will not only assist as a preventive measure but also create more jobs. The registry should be available to the public and only list individuals who have either been convicted of or plead guilty to domestic violence.
