APPENDIX 15. Any additional comments, concerns or recommendations?                  La ampliacion del corredor desde la calle Park Row hasta yegar a la Calle Abram (Expanding the street from Park Row to Abram Street) I would like to see high expectations set for the population to follow. It will not be easy and it will take some of everybody. One thing is for sure, the law needs to be enforced not just when remembered but it needs to be consistent. We want this new area to build on. It would be sad to see it go another way after all the effort that has been done to improve it. Crime rate, additional sidewalks for pedestrians and bikers, clean up, renew building. Any money spent should be used for demolition of dilapidated commercial and multifamily units or legal fees to enforce code requirements We have problems with people renting houses who do not maintain the property, they do not care about the appearance of the property or the neighborhood We need to fix our roads and market our area. Roads have to be fixed before we can do anything. lt looks like the City hasn't invested in this area since GM and we need help from the City. Once we fix the roads, we can start marketing ourselves as a regional destination that people can visit after Ranger and Cowboy games. I have to drive through on new york to get to work and it is okay on some parts of the road, but others are going to kill my car. It would be nice to have something I would want to stop at besides the library or parks and rec center... I have lived here since February 1985 and have seen this area change very slowly. Some improvements with streets and sidewalks, some improvements with public areas, apartments have aged. I would like to see a redevelopment of existing apartment to mixed use and landscape requirements applied to all existing commercial properties. I would like to see a theatre and arts center for our East Arlington residents. Also, take up excess cement in parking lots and build parking/gazebo/community area. solo que falta mas organizacion con respecto alas escuelas que haiga transporte y mas escuelas.(Need more organization with respect to the schools, more transportation and more schools) I don't think that there are enough programs in pace for the community’s youth. Please let us know plans and concerns so we can pray over resources, implementation, alignment = God's purposes for His children (all ages) environment and goods. Major concerns: 1. East Abrams being fixed as nice as West Abrams. 2. Code Enforcement of Cleanliness of property and upkeep ‐ mainly rental homes! Increase in predatory lending establishments If this come to fruition, where will the funding come from? New business owners? My most concern is safety of our kids, and giving our kids the best chances to succeed in the future. No ARLINGTON, TEXAS 98
