What is the name of the neighborhood where you reside?
I live by 1 st street and Halladay
How do you describe your community to someone who hasn't visited? What streets/boundaries define
your community?
My community is infested with homeless. It's very unsafe to walk the streets once the sun goes in. Numerous
amounts of trash and feces left by homelessness on sidewalks. Our community has 2 smoke shops within 1 mile
radius owned by the liquor store owners right next to them. We have are children walking these streets seeing
these homeless standing outside the smoke shops. Our ward districts 6 and 3 needs to invest in this issue. I sure
don't see all these issues in the Floral park or by Saddleback school. Also my community housing is apartments
making it very difficult to find parking in the streets. Constantly receiving parking violations tickets for parking
in red.
What are the major cultural/recreational/educational/religious institutions in your community?
1 community center for thousands of people with children's.
Does your community have major geographical boundaries/features (freeways, parks, lakes, mountains)?
No lakes, no mountains... parks?? 1 park. Yes on freeways.
Do you have concerns about the current boundaries of your Ward?
Yes, boundaries should be looked at and see our true needs in my community not just the better side of Santa
Ana. Ward 6 and ward 3 are the step child of the other wards.
Other Comments:
Another skate park should be built in this community to fit our teenagers skaters. Closest one is by Garfield/
Lazy area which I would not feel safe sending my child to that side. Street parking ordinance some cars are
parked taking 2-3 spots saving parking. The city decided to red paint no parking which it's already a big issue
on this side. Our community should have Whole Foods or Sprouts. Our current Food 4 Less does not offer
organic foods. I'm having to drive all the way to Tustin to grocery shop.
