No more money for police! The amount of money cops get compared to other things the city needs like transportation, streets, schools, housing, etc. is far too skewed already. The city needs to put money towards things that regular people actually use like buses and the metro instead of giving police more cash for weapons and sound cannons and vacation days for murderers.
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!
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!
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.
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.
