Commissioners gave feedback on the Plan. Lisa Maria Coppoletta, 1322 Belvin, said it seems like a lot of times the prioritization for projects like her sidewalk project like to come from her side of town, and not where people really need those sort of things. She added that the HEB Park in Victory Gardens is where everyone used to hang out, and they just elminated it. She collected surveys from people in that neighborhood, and they never went back. She said a greenbelt was put in the backyard of everyone in Victory Gardens for connectability, then you had rich white kids going through people's backyards in Victory Gardens for walkability. She said when we roll this Plan out, we need to be careful. She added that the City spent a lot of money on the basketball court in Victory Gardens, and took it out, and replaced it with cheap, plastic equipment. She said the kids wanted a full court. She said she liked how the Commission was picking up on the disconnects, because a lot of time dots on a map are more important to City staff, then actually reaching out to people. She concluded by saying let's not make this something where we have to have all of this green space and connectability, but in the meantime, we're focusing on one side of town, or we're ruining people's backward, or her front yard for walkability. She said all of this bus stop tranportation, sidewalk connectability is exactly the reason they're going to ruin her yard. She hopes when this implementation is rolled out, they are transparent with the public, so ( that if people have a concern they can say something, and that all parts of town are prioritized.
