fresno elections 2008

As a city, we cannot tolerate the subsidizing of peripheral development projects. The biggest problem with Fresno's growth issues is that it has always been conducted on a piece-meal basis. South West Fresno is designed to align with the railroad tracks, when new leadership came in, someone came along and said let's change everything to go on a North/South grid. That's how long this has been going on. There's no rhyme or reason to how this city has evolved. I have always been frustrated with this approach and I strongly advocate a comprehensive plan that complies with environmental laws, accounts for projected transportation growth issues and incorporates an integrated vision for a healthy and economically diverse city.
