ISSUES
-
Airport Expansion
We support the
CITY'S POSITION on the County's planned expansion of the
Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport's south runway which would negatively
impact numerous residential neighborhoods in Hollywood.
- COMMERCIAL INTRUSION
We oppose
commercial
intrusion in
residential
neighborhoods.
Examples of this
problem include
expansion of the
downtown
Regional
Activity Center
(RAC) into
residential
neighborhoods, a
proposed
barbershop in
Liberia, a
medical office
building in
Hollywood Hills,
a carwash in the
Lakes,
restaurants on
residential
streets on the
beach, and a
commercial
vehicle in Lawn
Acres.
- Development and
Land Use
We continue to
take an active
role in trying
to encourage the
kinds of
development that
enhance
residential
neighborhoods.
Lack of
development in
some areas that
are peppered
with run-down
strip malls,
drug dealers,
and storage
lockers, has a
negative impact
on residents.
Likewise, overly
upscale and
high-rise
development in
other parts of
the city
threatens to
destabilize
existing
residential
neighborhoods
and reduce
public access to
the beach.
- Code Enforcement
We are working
with city staff
to identify key
problem areas in
the city's code
enforcement
process and to
push for needed
reforms such as
better
coordination
among city
departments,
prevention of
illegal
conversions,
ordinance
updates, and
innovative ways
to achieve code
compliance.
- City Finances
We are
increasingly
concerned about
the inadequate
allocation of
public dollars
for capital
improvements to
correct such
problems as the
lack of lighting
in residential
neighborhoods,
flooding, and
the ongoing
deterioration of
streets, alleys,
and sidewalks in
many parts of
the city.
- Hurricane
Preparation and
Clean-Up
We are concerned
that debris and
hard junk
remained on
neighborhood
streets long
after the
summer's
hurricanes. We
have begun a
dialogue with
the city manager
and various
department heads
aimed at
improving the
city's
communication
with residents
in the aftermath
of a storm.
