CM PRESS # 529















FIFTEEN THINGS OFF THE TOP OF OUR HEAD THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY COUNCIL DO

1......Make real progress toward undergrounding the SR-55.
2......Make real progress toward keeping John Wayne from expanding.
3......Increase ICE in Costa Mesa and remove even more illegal alien criminals.
4......Speed up the revitalization of the Westside.
5......Encourage more homes on the Westside Bluffs and encourage an "industrial modern" look (see photo above as one example of this style).
6......Increase cooperation with Newport Beach on as many fronts as possible.
7......Increase home ownership and reduce rentals.
8......Thin out dense slum "blocks" by removing individual slum buildings and replacing them with parking lots or pocket parks.
9......Ensure that whatever happens on Banning Ranch doesn't harm Costa Mesa.
10....Encourage landscaping that is appropriate and natural for our climate (see the street medians on Superior in Newport Beach for a clue).
11.....Consider changing our city's motto back to "Hub of the Harbor."
12.....Stop spending citizen money on programs that attract and maintain illegal aliens in Costa Mesa.
13.....Work to make the downtown area around Triangle Square a pedestrian friendly destination.
14.....Work more with individual neighborhoods on neighborhood specific programs to improve those neighborhoods.
15.....Encourage the upgrading of homes throughout the city.
