Currently the only places in the phx metro area to ride a bicycle more then a mile without stopping is the greenbelt in Scottsdale, or the long roads on the reservations. The canals can be better. Take the Santa Ana River in so-Cal as an example. LONG paths that go for miles.

Implement the streetscape improvements discussed in the Fiesta District Handbook, which incorporated input from area businesses and residents. The Fiesta District needs to have streetscape improvements that define a sense of place for the district. These improvements should include wider sidewalks, more open space to create opportunities for community gathering and activity, more landscaping and better lighting.

Allow or cultivate a night life downtown. I just came from visiting a small town in California that has a really cool night life in the downtown area. Bars, restaurants, live bands, but quality, not quantity.

Let’s celebrate Mesa’s story and strengthen the emerging downtown arts and cultural district by renovating the city-owned historic Federal Building at 26 N. Macdonald Street. By making it the downtown home of the Mesa Historical Museum, residents can more easily learn how their city came to be and how the past is shaping the future.

Extend the Tempe Lake idea into Mesa. In addition use quaries that have reached the water table. Fill them and use as in town wake board lakes.

Connect the new Riverview Park/Wrigleyville complex to Tempe Marketplace and Tempe Town Lake with a universal Walking/Running/Biking Path along the Salt River.

North Mesa is already a Destination for avid road bicylists who find the long East/West routes along Brown Rd and McKellips to be scenic and enjoyable. They can bike from Tempe Town Lake to the Superstition Mountains and back. Or they can head north on 87 to Fountain Hills.

We need space for our familie and children to play. There is land at Medina and Hawes that could be used as a site for a park or recreation area with playground, covered shelters for picnics, fitness trail ect...

Mesa has built some great pools in recent years, but it has left a void in central and southeast Mesa. Build at least two more pools in these areas so all areas of Mesa can access public pools.

When I was young the park was an exciting place to play, the train was amazing, now it's behind a fence. Festivals like in Down town Glendale would bring life to the park and give her back her glory.

The 2020 Mesa General Plan calls for a regional park in SE Mesa. Monterey Park on Power Road has undeveloped land next to it. If acquired, it would be an excellent site for a regional park.

How about a spot like Quail Run that provides little league, softball and soccer fields in one location.

The Mesa City Plaza building has two doors that need to be converted to handicapped accessible doors: the entry door on the south end of the main lobby (that leads to Main Street); and the door inside the lobby that leads to the hallway to the City Clerk's office, Conference Room 170, & the public restrooms. These doors are currently impossible for those confined to wheelchairs to open by themselves, and if they try to do so and fall or get hurt it could very easily turn in to a lose-lose situation.

Mesa Riverview needs to be more intimate and entertaining. The space is too wide with the parking. Put buildings in with more entertainment/shops and have two walking corridors on either side. This will allow more shade and for the misters to work. Then you have to attract some fun things to fill the space.
