More shade provided by pole mounted PV systems such as at Red Mountain library.
Use ASU as an example...they even cover some of the mall walkways with photovoltaic panels that provide clean electricity as well as shade. We need all the shade we can get to help mitigate the urban heat island effect. More projects like at the Mesa Red Mountain library where PV panels provide clean electricity as well as shade.

Remove those unsightly, unoccupied buildings at the corner of Alma School and Southern.
That area has been occupied and deteriorating for many, many years. Calls to City Council and representatives have been in vain. That area is dragging the Fiesta Area down. The buildings need to come down and redevelopment of apartments and/or medical, education erected. Ask any resident of this area and they will tell you the same. Why does this developer get away with holding on to a deteriorating eyesore?

Private and/or public sponsorship of "Mezona Days" a dance competition/workshop series of performance events for dance groups.
Mesa was once the destination for the best dances in the state. I can see groups coming from all over the world to participate in competitions that showcase talent and participate in workshops for any and all kinds of dance groups. We have the facilities and the beautiful weather to make this a really big draw.

A Complete City
I could not get the General Plan Summary to load, so I read some parts of the full document, so I may have missed something. I can't find anything negative to say about it! But I urge Mesa to immediately stop approving any development plans that would not conform with the ideas of the Plan. No more strip malls set away from the street with fast-food "pads" along the street. No logo buildings. No apartment complexes with surface parking; all parking should be underground or under the units and the whole thing should look like a neighborhood indistinguishable from its…

Make Mesa's downtown truly walkable
- Sidewalks should connect and be more relatives to parks than to streets
- Walking should be fundamental: most trips should be possible by walking
- the design of streets should consider walking and biking as the primary mode of travel of residents, before transit and then cars.

A place my wife feels comfortable getting around without a car
We live 1.5 miles away from three grocery stores, a Target, Home Depot, multiple coffee shops, and a couple restaurants, among other commercial locations. My wife is still terrified of walking or riding her bike to any of these places because Power Road is so wide and the traffic on all the streets around drive so fast. Motorists fail to stop at stop signs and consistently stop INSIDE the crosswalks (if they even do stop... typically they roll through if they're turning) at stop lights. We need to re-design the streets so the lanes aren't the same width as freeway…

Make all city street landscaping (food forest) both edible and sustainable by capturing rainwater.
A "food forest" is a combination of edible landscaping form plants available to the public, free. By using city/street landscaping islands for this, rain water can be captured and diverted, the plants provide both shade and food, water use is minimized and the whole city becomes foot traffic friendly and cleaner air. Tucson is doing this now -- http://www.upworthy.com/can-somebody-just-give-this-guy-a-million-bucks-already?g=2

Make cars slow to cross sidewalks, instead of pedestrians slow to cross streets
Retain the grade of sidewalks, making each sidewalk become a defacto speed hump in the station areas to encourage walking in our downtown core.

I would like to see a consistant look of what has been built on Power and McDowell. Which is based on the Las Sendas area.
This area continues to be a breathtaking view and has the richness of North Scottsdale without the price of a 700K house. The area of Power and McDowell represent what needs to continue as development continues over the next 40 years

a people-friendly city
I want to see Mesa preserve and maintain existing neighborhoods, become more pedestrian friendly and less auto-oriented. I want to see Downtown developed into a true mixed-use urban downtown with lots of exciting things happening. I want to see other mixed-use villages around the city where people can live and shop without needing to drive.
