We asked Facebook: Now that Fire Station 3 is officially open, what do you hope is the next project the city will pick up?
“Splash pad!!! One in the downtown area would bring families in town every night!!!” — Alan Nelson
“Hopefully to clean up & maintain what we already have, but I’m sure there already are more development of subdivisions/apartment complexes lined up.” — Austin Salter
“A municipal swimming pool!” — Delicia C. Wallnöfer
“More technical schools, Smoothie King, Tropical Smoothie” — Graciela M. Gonzalez
“Fix that dang road coming out of where Burger King & Bealls is at! Jesus at the size of the potholes!” — Heather Certelli Walmsley
“Free housing for single young pregnant females that decide to choose life even though life will be harder because of that decision. Work with health care providers, colleges, and employers to help them through these challenges.” — John Simmons
“Red light that functions right before school starts and after school gets out on Alexander at Maki Road. A hard intersection to get across after school!” — Jessica Messick Hall
“Fixing the roads in the area of Lincoln and Marshall off Park Road. It’s awful the condition they’re in, and new MASSIVE holes open up every other day. They put a bandaid on one and then the same hole opens back up a week later. Those are high traffic roads in a residential area with one school whose transportation is mostly cars and not buses.” — Jamie Newman
“We need Chick-fil-A asap!!” — Danielle Hitson
“Asian market.” — Fritzie Manalo
“How about a traffic light at Alexander Street and YMCA Place? Why, as I was told by a high ranking city official, does it have to take a number of accidents before this can be addressed? If residents from Walden Lake East wants to walk to the Y, they take the lives in their hands by trying to cross there, or have to walk to the Walden Lake light or the high school light that takes forever to change for pedestrians to cross. Do we need to start a petition?” — Jana Kirkland Butler
