NEW YORK AVENUE CORRIDOR STRATEGY
12. What is one thing you would like to see in the Study Area?
� Una Calle Pavimentada y Paresa sin baches( A paved road and smooth without potholes) � Improved roads � a Walmart Neighborhood Market � More senior friendly businesses and activities. Safer areas for the kids, more options for affordable entertainment. � I would like to see an organized, well supervised recreation center that can assist the student population in teaching leadership skills. � public transportation � Better Commercial Buildings. � Direct driving connection north and south. New york abruptly ends at abram and browning is not very good for through traffic � People buying homes to live in, not to rent! � Bring more employment opportunity � We need an identity. We have Downtown, Entertainment District, Southwest Industrial ‐ we need something for East Arlington. I would also like to see monthly events at the Library or Hugh Smith with ice cream or food trucks that would help fill the hole of our lost Brahms. It would also help get the kids out of trouble. � Existing retail property filled and refurbished � parking lots and roads are awful to drive on � less crime � anything NEW, new apartments, houses, recreation center, library � More medical uses and adult supervised living facility. � improved infrastructure � Less social services concentration � Cleanliness overall � Bigger, nicer public area ‐ IE the library needs to be expanded and would be a great place for a large public plaza. � Less cement parking lots ‐ more landscaping � mas educacion, mas control enla delincuencia( More education, more crime control) � Grocery Store � More parks and recreation facilities � Employment Opportunities, Open Space and Parks � More family‐friendly activities � Definite and real improvements done ‐ not just stated as being " on the list ". Like fixing East Abrams by Spring. � Amusement � More like Lincoln Square � Community meeting places( shopping, dining, etc.) � More restaurants / other businesses reflecting the diverse culture of the area � City code enforcement � More code enforcement � More Commercial Development � Redevelopment � Some action taken, after being herd. � Bike trails / paths
