The 89101 area has a rather small amount of public parks(a total of 2 large public parks) which the community can use. The majority of the downtown area composes of cemeteries, golf courses, schools and houses; not a large amount of that space is actual "green space" in which families can come together and enjoy. I feel that the need for green space is very high in this area and should strongly be implied for the benefit of the community.

Bicycle Cities

Biking is a popular -& green!- way to travel. Yet if there is nowhere to lock up your bike, people may be discouraged to use their bike to get around. Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request. Where would you like to encourage people to use bikes instead of cars? CLICK HERE to learn about bicycling in Chicago.
