Our Future!
What do we want our city to be in 2014?
- We must compete successfully with neighboring areas for new residents. How?
By capitalizing on our strengths:
Aesthetics
- We must keep our neighborhoods beautiful.
- We need an historic preservation ordinance.
- We must work together to prevent vandalism, litter and graffiti.
Creativity
We have to free the creativity of our citizens.
We need our artists, entrepreneurs, everyone to:
- Create new uses for our empty and neglected spaces.
- Develop a citywide public art plan.
- Re-energize Cain Park
- Increase and improve our green space.
Location
- Our relationship with University Circle must be, formalized, strengthened and marketed.
- Our residents have ties to these institutions and they can help by offering expertise and establishing joint programs.
- Increase collaboration with our area colleges and universities. Academics and their students can help us generate solutions to our problems.
- All areas of the city should be served equally; some are experiencing more difficulties than others. Problems should be addressed everywhere—our futures are tied together.
