Mitre-Ramirez, Norma <br /> From: Gallardo G. < <br /> Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 1:02 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Riverview Neighborhood <br /> Categories: Important, Correspondence <br /> Hello Mr. Cavazos & City Staff of Santa Ana, <br /> I hope you find yourself doing good this morning. <br /> Let me begin by thanking you for your commitment to Santa Ana residents, and improving the city. <br /> We trust in our officials. <br /> On behalf of this letter, I write to you to petition improvements in our neighborhood. <br /> My name is Nancy Gallardo, and I reside in the west part of Santa Ana in the Riverview Neighborhood (17th St <br /> &Alona). <br /> Our neighborhood Association "RIVERVIEW" has been active in the past few years. <br /> We fundraise for our yearly "4th of July block party" and other small events for the neighborhood. <br /> Additionally, our neighborhood has meetings and use "Yahoo Groups" to communicate w/ each <br /> other pertaining to <br /> dumpster days, fundraising events, suspicious behavior in our streets, etc. <br /> This year with the help of residents, we were able to voice our need and get our sidewalks ADA approved for <br /> wheelchair bound folks. <br /> This was a success because indeed we have many residents with walking disabilities and benefit from ramps. <br /> With funds being a crucial step to improve our park, among the following are items we would like to see <br /> implemented: <br /> 1. Concrete Trash Bins in the Picnic Area & Baseball Stands. (a total of 5-6) <br /> *The current trash collectors are "plastic", very flimsy, and outdated. <br /> *SA Pony Baseball is the heart of our park where kids/families gather on the weekdays/weekends. <br /> *We definitely need sturdy trash bins there,they will last a long time as well. <br /> 2. Park Signs w/Bask Rules to Follow- <br /> I've seen park signs at other parks w/the rules, but for some reason not at Riverview Park. <br /> Park Rules will give park users guidelines to follow and not abuse park privileges. <br /> We want to make the park safe, and currently homeless frequent there and make it they're living <br /> quarters. <br /> I know we have a city wide "homeless problem", but we also are tax payers and want to build <br /> property value in our neighborhood to attract buyers. <br /> Some Rules can be: <br /> -Picnic area- Reservations are highly recommended- please call (714)571-4233. <br /> 1 <br />
