Waryas Skate Park is highly valued by our community as it provides a space for constructive recreational activity, vibrant youth culture, and peaceful interaction between people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We, the undersigned, request that the City of Poughkeepsie work with the community to repair and reopen Waryas Skate Park as soon as possible at the same location where it has existed for decades. Thank you for your consideration and please join the discussion on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1557572311214860/ We are also having a community-wide meeting on Monday, July 25. Please rsvp! https://www.facebook.com/events/1783036561927507/

This change directly affects all property owners in the area and increases traffic in a quiet kid-friendly residential area. These homes are located in a well established neighborhood. This will also put the houses in the area at risk to theft since the road gives direct access to criminals to 30% of the homes, which homeowners only reside in during the winter.

All civilians are affected with the interactions between Police and the Communities across this nation. A National training reform is in order, now more than ever before. Black people are in fear of being gunned down due to the fear of poorly trained officers. Community Policing is needed, and budgets should not be cut in this crucial area.

To improve the safety at the intersection of Richards St and Salvation Army Community Center. By adding stops signs, removing parking spots, that are blind spots for drivers and pedestrians(children crossing the street, drivers attempting to make turns north,south or crossing over on Richards St. There have been far too many accidents and safety incidents which could have been avoided with improved safety measures.

America's first park gaining a National Park designation would mean a great deal to the City of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania economically, but it would also help to honor the various legacies of people. For over five Centuries, diverse people from across the world have visited, lived, or died there - whose very remains were found on the River Common in the 1800's. Today's Common, which rests along the banks of the meandering and majestic Susquehanna River, was upgraded and completely rebuilt (2009) as part of an Army Corps Flood Control Project that stretched throughout historic Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County. Please join me in asking President Barrack H. Obama to designate the one-mile-long River Common a National Monument under the powers vested in him under the Antiquities Act. The designation will pave the way toward a future national park that will incorporate existing historic downtown structures, such as the Irem Temple Auditorium, and use as interpretive museums celebrating Native American and early Colonial American settlers. The park overlooks grounds that have looked primarily the same as they did millenniums ago; it's one of Pennsylvania's best kept historic marvels that has many incredible stories to tell visitors and the rest of the world. Help America understand and experience this little-known yet verdant, award-winning-designed, riverfront park by signing this petition today.

We, the residents of Wesley Hills, are aggravated and concerned with the proposed Crown Castle DAS node installations, which we see as problematic on numerous levels.

We Believe: Our City Administration and Police Department are currently housed in 2 separate structures both of which are old, outdated, energy inefficient and frequently in need of repairs and maintenance. Neither of the buildings meet current standards for safety, technology and flow nor can they be converted to current standards. Ad Valorem taxes will not be raised to construct a new building and financing is available with interest rates at historic lows making now an ideal time to invest in the future of Laurinburg. The employees of the City and the Police Department should have a safe, efficient, well designed workplace that is suited for the 21st century workforce. Our citizens deserve the same safety, efficiency and design in the place where they interact with their city government on a daily basis. We trust the intelligence and wisdom of our elected City Council members to make sound, informed decisions that are in the best interest of all citizens.

With over 2000 units of market rate housing in the pipeline for the Mission District in and around the Latino Cultural District, we are asking that the planning department do a full impact report for the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District before any development moves forward. The Calle 24 Latino Cultural District has been recognized as an important cultural and commercial resource for the City.The Mayor and Board of Supervisors noted “The Calle 24 Latino Cultural District memorializes a place whose richness of culture, history and entrepreneurship is unrivaled in San Francisco.” The District is bounded on the north by 22nd Street, the south by Cesar Chavez Street, the east by Potrero Avenue, and on the west by Mission Street. The District was established “to stabilize the displacement of Latino Businesses, and residents, preserve Calle 24 as the center of Latino culture and commerce, enhance the unique nature of Calle 24 as a special place for San Francisco’s residents and tourists” and that its contribution will provide “cultural visibility, vibrancy, and economic opportunity for Latinos in the City and County of San Francisco.” The impacts from the proposed 1515 South Van Ness Lennar project cannot be examined in isolation. The proposed project is not constructed in a bubble. Both the project and its residents interact with the immediate community in multiple ways. Similarly, the environmental impacts of this project cannot be examined apart from other proposed projects currently in the pipeline. Proposed projects located within the boundaries of the LCD are: 2765 Folsom St. (115 units), 3314 Cesar Chavez (52 units), 2600 Harrison St. (20), 2799 24th St. (8), and 3357 26th St. (8). Projects immediately adjacent to the LCD are: 1198 Valencia St. (52 units), 2918 Mission St. (38), 1298 Valencia St. (35), 2600 Mission (20). Two blocks from the LCD is 2000-2070 Bryant Street (195 units). Socio-economic impacts of market rate development on the Latino Cultural District could not have been studied at the time the Eastern Neighborhoods PEIR was prepared because the LCD did not come into existence until several years later. The Department should study the impact these market rate developments will have on the residents, businesses, non-profits and cultural assets in the LCD. In addition to whatever evaluation the Department may deem appropriate, we are requesting the Department evaluate the proposed project, both individually and cumulatively, with respect to potential impacts of extensive market rate development on existing residents, businesses, non-profits and cultural assets in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. This inquiry should include, but not be limited to, the following before any development is considered. - The amount of income that households will need in order to afford the market rents of the proposed project. - The amount of anticipated disposable income of the households moving into market rate units at the proposed project. - The consumer preferences of households moving into the market rate units at the proposed project, as compared to those Latino residents in the LCD earning 50% AMI. - Impact on neighborhood-serving Latino businesses that new market rent paying households with higher disposable incomes, will have on commercial rents in the Latino Cultural District – both from the standpoint of the proposed project and from the standpoint of the cumulative impact of the projects listed above. - Impact that rents at the proposed project (and cumulative proposed projects) will have on residential rents for vacant units in the immediate areas. - Impact the proposed project (and cumulative proposed projects) will have on displacement of Latinos and families in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. - Impact the proposed project (and cumulative proposed projects) will have on the percentage of Latino residents and businesses living and working in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District.

For many years RIPTA has provided free travel to those disabled people and seniors who are already living on a limited income. Rhode Island's most vulnerable seniors and disabled can't afford to pay what RIPTA is now charging, and many have said they'll be stuck at home unable to go out much. Bills have been introduced in the RI General Assembly to undo this fare hike -- H5173, S31 and S115. These bills need to be passed.

Our kids and neighbors won't be able to remain in Michigan unless Governor Snyder and our state legislature take the lead in reversing the decline of our economy.

America’s water pipes are getting old — some as old as Ford's first Model T. And too many are still made of lead. These aging pipes are putting entire communities in danger, especially children. Lead poisoning can cause serious health problems, so ensuring that our drinking water is safe needs to be a national priority. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that $697 billion is needed to upgrade our drinking water and wastewater systems over the next 20 years. So where will that money come from? The Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity, and Reliability (WATER) Act, recently introduced in Congress, would provide dedicated funding for fixing water infrastructure by closing corporate tax loopholes. Among other things, that money would be used to help homeowners and public schools test for and replace lead pipes. If passed, the WATER Act would secure a significant portion of the funding we need over the next 20 years to protect our drinking water, while also creating up to 945,000 jobs. Urge your representative to support the WATER Act and fix our aging water systems!
