Dages on Autry's ideas
question:
Mayor Autry has supported various ideas to rejuvenate downtown, from a downtown river to a fountain district tying Fulton Mall to the Chinatown. Do you support any of Autry's ideas? What else should the city do to make downtown Fresno and the Fulton Mall more than just an 8-5 government center?answer:
I am a proponent of adding more green space in downtown, a Fresno Central Park. This will spark interest in private investment and mesh our government center with outdoor activities. Can you imagine, having plenty of parking while having a picnic in the park, before attending a baseball game or a concert? I support exploring the many plans for various projects in the downtown area. Private investment is key to the success of any of these plans. As Mayor, I will work to make sure the city plays its role while protecting taxpayers and I do not support eminent domain for private developers.
