Alcala, Abigail <br />From: Gallardo G. <m- acustomwoodworl<s @hotmail.com> <br />Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 1:02 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Riverview Neighborhood <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*The current trash collectors are "plastic ", very flimsy, and outdated.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/ Basic 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 />- Trash- Place all your trash in the bins and keep it clean for the next user. <br />-Call Police or Park Ranger if you see any Illegal /Suspicious Activity. <br />WS -A -15 <br />
