Maybe someday if I win the lottery, I’ll be able to make these reality. For now though, it seems nobody is concerned with any of this stuff besides me:
- Make it easier to pay ALL of our municipal bills online, from one location.
- Clean up the mess they call a “web site”. Compared to other city web sites, like San Diego or New York our web site looks like it was designed by a committee.
- Fix the Rosemont / 264 interchange
- Build a *real* interconnected system of paths to make it possible to bike, walk or jog across the city without getting run over.
- Either establish dedicated bus lanes on all major roads, or put in a rail system. Or just don’t bother. Anything else is bullshit.
- Put some real effort into Mt. Trashmore Park, not just token effort.
- Build a Target or Walmart in place of the ghetto HQ lot near Town Center. How long is that crap going to sit their like a festering sore?
- Build a Great Wolf Lodge somewhere on the south-side, preferrably near the beach. Some sort of indoor water park for the crappy Winter season. Keep people coming to the beach even when the weather sucks.
- Do something interesting with Pembroke Mall. Rebuild it like Short Pump Mall or something not so boring and dead. Join it up with Town Center (hint: walk-over bridge). It’s right smack in the middle of the busiest area of the city. Make it a crown jewel of attraction. Mall of America style. or something. It feels like a trip into the 80’s right now.
- Remember what made this a great city to live in: Parks, Libraries, Recreation, Wildlife, Beaches. Keep that at the top of your agenda and focus everything around that.
