I am a resident of district 8 in Laveen. Our population in Laveen has exploded but the number of city parks has not kept up with the growth. There are funds set aside to build our neighborhood park at 55th Ave. and Samantha but we need the council to allocate $156,000 for annual maintenance budget Right Now!! We have been waiting for this park for over 12+ years. The kids need it, the neighbors need it and we all need it!
I would like to advocate for the budget to include the building and maintenance of the city park for the 55th Ave and Samantha Way. There are 2 large schools, many families, and a rapidly growing community in this area. We do not have any city parks for 3 miles and we cannot safely ride our bikes there without crossing busy intersections with our young families. Since there is a surplus in the budget this is the perfect opportunity to make this long awaited park a reality. Thank you!
I fully support the creation of an Office of Heat Response and Mitigation, the food systems program, the addition of funds conduct GHG inventories and provide modeling and analysis regarding air quality to assist with implementing the City's newly created Climate Action Plan, the additional Parks funding to add staff for a citywide tree inventory and database, the Cool Corridors Program, and the creation of the office of equity and inclusion.
As a resident of District 4 and food systems advocate, I applaud the inclusion of $300K in funding to Environmental Programs to fund a Program Manager to oversee food programs and carry out the implementation of the Phoenix Food Action Plan. I and my colleagues support this important investment and hope to see the investment in food systems personnel continue as a permanent and important part of the Environmental Programs operations. Thank you.
If you are looking to improve relationships within our community, then stop ignoring our demands to stop adding funds to the police department. We know giving them more money isn’t going to increase accountability or transparency. If you truly want to mend our community, take that $$ and put it towards helping our homeless community get the help they deserve. We see you & the street sweeps & we know how much that costs every week. Stop supporting violent practices & then we can talk about trust.
Please fund the Park at Samantha Way and 55th Ave in Laveen so it can be completed. For 14 yrs this designated park has been dirt, weeds and barbed wire fencing. Families with infants and all ages including seniors live here and in nearby neighborhoods. The Bridlewood neighborhood is lacking green space and amenities since the park was supposed to fulfill the city requirements. Please add whatever funding required for construction and maintenance of this park. It is way overdue. Thank you!
The community does not want the city budget to go to the pay raises of the corrupt and violent police department that has killed our neighbors and had white supremacists within their ranks exposed. We don't want to pay for cops who are part of the special assignment units, what we want instead is mental health resources, free public transportation, resources for youth in predominantly Black and Brown neighborhoods.

The Phoenix Boys Choir thanks city leaders for your support of our arts and culture sector. As a 73-year-old Phoenix youth development and performing arts organization, our work, along with our fellow arts and culture sector members, supports economic growth, shared cultural experiences and productive community dialogue. As second responders during and after the pandemic, our art serves to bring joy, heal and uplift our community. Thank you for your support of our critical sector.
I would like to provide my support for funding new parks in newly developing areas. I believe that the undeveloped park on Samantha would be a benefit to the community and request it be added to the city budget this year.
Unacceptable, PHX PD is the most violent and harmful in this country. NO pay raises for phx police! No COVID relief money to pay police bonuses! No bonuses to cops involved in the SAU! No to 75 new civilian positions for Phoenix police! Phoenix police should cut the number of officers employed by the department and reallocate that money to:
Mental health resources in Black and Brown neighborhoods
Free public transportation, a bus only lane
Resources for youth in Black and Brown neighborhoods
My name is Lisa a lifelong property owner bordering Highline canal trail between 6th Ave/Central ave. District 8. I would like to request funding for improvements/maintenance for the bike trail 6th Ave/12th st. The inequity of maintenance along 6th Ave/12th st compared to 12th st/40th st is unfair to citizens. Clear brush, trash,replace asphalt which is cracked rendering it a liability. With new development in the area, this will encourage people to take better care of their properties.Thank you
This is a balanced approach by allocating funding for critical needs (homeless, mental health, etc.) while still fully funding our PD. We as the fifth-largest city can accomplish both without sacrificing one or the other, and the majority of residents want a fully funded PD. Crime deterrence includes keeping our youth active, which is why the city needs to build out all planned small neighborhood parks, including in underserved Laveen - starting with the vacant lot at 55th Avenue and Samantha.
