Message) : Then put your entire notes into chat, with the question on top
17:46:03 From Erin Johnson : What does Coconut Creek look like in 2030? What will you see in the city that you do not see now? How does it feel?
• Safe
– Keeping the police department within Coconut Creek
• Clean and sustainable green initiatives-incentivize businesses and even residents
• Modern development
• Well-managed financially secure
• Well-run
city and financially secure
• Not being over developed (redevelopment focus), manage the growth
• Public transportation options
• 10 years own police force for the town (possible thoughts of merging)
• Land
fill that is closed and not active
• City Engagement via Citizen’s Academy
17:46:23 From Sheryl Trent : Transportation
Roadways are well maintained
Self driving cars
Traffic flows smoothly
Electric vehicle
chargers
Expensive
Creating one downtown where we draw everybody, create 3 downtowns, connect them with aerial transportation or electric transportation. Multi modal – other means
Solar panels on busses
No longer hear
the turnpike (sound barriers for quiet)
Electric pad sensors at areas to trigger to bring transportation (on demand)
Solar charging stations
Ride bicycle to the beach
A roadway system that has a smart grid that is intelligent,
understands patterns and times, amount of traffic, won’t have to wait, pedestrians don’t have to wait . Functions more reliably and efficiently
Driverless cars available for rent, need more drop off/pickup spaces but less parking,
people won’t own as many cars.
In 2030 there would be a way to get to the ocean safely on bicycle (we can dream, yes?)
From N – S on Lyons Road will have lights that are triggered to get there without stopping.
6 –
8 foot walkways N – S and E
17:46:25 From Zach Ratkai : Room 3:
What kinds of shopping are in the City?
Multicultural markets
More restaurants in the south end
Everything is in needed in the south
end
Will there be a change in shopping due to Amazon? Would we have to invest in shopping buildings?
The Promenade has lost businesses. Would be nice to see the promenade occupied and happening.
Enhance what we have
More secure
shopping atmosphere (fewer thefts)
We need shops that the local community will support.
Shops that provide services, activities for youth
Cocofest… we need to bring this back. Incorporate a festival into the history of Coconut
Creek
Shops need longer hours
Need a vision for the area around the casino. “Entertainment District”
