On his famous voyages of exploration, Captain James Cook insisted on setting his ships' calendar six months forward when crossing the equator from north to south, and six months back when crossing south to north.
Dear Mr. Boyajian, there is a much bigger project and the office used to be just down the hall from you; that you ignored, never bothering to examine. Through lots of prayer and tenacity the door isn’t bolted and is now located on the 6th floor.
Running Horse is/was a tremendous boost for that area; this post is only to encourage more focused developments to stimulate Fresno’s sagging economy.
For you, Tom, I’ll repeat what my study of Downtown has found: “There will be no revitalization of Downtown Fresno without resolving the mobility issue.” Tom, the work that the RDA has done over the past several years clearly proves there is no comprehension regarding mobility.
The recent Downtown Transportation & Infrastructure Study (DTIS) points to the Central Area Community Plan which was adopted by the City in 1989. This Plan consisted of a Concept Plan, 12 subject elements and a discussion of three special issues. The DTIS addresses Fresno's Downtown loss of economic stability from the Central Area Community Plan as follows: “There is a direct correlation between the explosion of fringe area development and the Central Area’s growing problems. The statistics of overbuilding the suburbs and loss of markets in the Central Area and other parts of the City support it. Unless a clear edge is firmly established for what will constitute the extent of the City’s geographic expansion over the next twenty years, and unless the City’s adopted plans are followed with some measure of consistency, there appears to be little basis for actually reestablishing the economic vitality, strength and property functions of the Central Area.”
How is a City to recapture economic stability? The very same thing it did when Fresno began and it grew into a WORLDWIDE destination. How did Fresno grow? With a transit system that served the entire community. City wide transportation was convenient and easy. Now days a trip across town causes stress.
Tom, why don’t you have a clue what has happened with CTDC over the past year and a half. Your lack of interest in CTDC’s Privately Funded (NO TAX INCREASE) state of the art transit system leads me to express my sentiments of concern on this blog to coincide with the question: Where are the solutions to the hard issues concerning Fresno? Transportation and poor economic conditions. CTDC’s project has the solutions: why did you and why do you continue to ignore the solutions?
