APPENDIX
13. How would you preserve the Study Area’s history and culture?
Nunca Cambiarle el nombre "New York" (Never change the name New York)
Festivals
Maybe have a multicultural area at the rec center and library. Hold different activities celebrating each culture.
I would like to emphasize the parts of history and culture that exist.
inclusive cultural centers
Continue to build cultural restaurants and shopping.
Not interested in preserving history of area or culture
There is no history or culture that is worth saving, unless you wish to preserve the little gang banger culture!
Creating a culture districts like little Italy, little Saigon, little Spanish Steps, little China Town, little soul, ...
Something like a theatre that would allow for international films or expanding the library to allow for community events.
No opinion
I don't really understand the question... do you mean hispanic culture?
keep the older houses but fix up where needed ‐ playup the multicultural aspect of the area
creating an entry way that is visible similar to what Pantego did with the arch
I don't know
apoyando a nuestros hijos para asi ellos no pierdan ese conocimiento.(Supporting our children so they do not lose the understanding (knowledge))
create an identity
Not worried
Create or build relationships with local churches to get small groups to give input on cultural desires and assets that can be displayed, enjoyed or
incorporated into festivals.
I really think this area is ready for a new identity. Three lined streets with bike and walking lanes would be great.
Celebrate it ‐ festival
Form a 501 c3 to promote like Downtown Arlington.
Reminders
I would "fuse" the old with the new by that I mean that the identity of the study area should remain the same, but it should evolve over time in
accordance with the trends in the area.
"neighborhood" museum/study center
Preserve historical sites (I think this has been done pretty well) in original period style ‐ even if use is different. Major need ‐ clean up yards!
Info on plaques
Motivate residents and businesses owners to regrow EAST ARLINGTON
Design and Art
Is it possible to bring back the movies? Maybe some cultural films/festivals
Improve Library Information
Possibly create a historic ordinance to limit the types of changes that can be made to an older buildings/areas
Not much of the history to preserve
Safety and ensuring low crime.
