Kyleabout 1 year agoPedestrian / Bike Bridge at Hillyard Road and Hwy 26
A Pedestrian Bridge would allow residents to be able to cross that busy part of Hwy 26 in that part of Gresham safely.
10Eegg1about 1 year agoGresham lacks many trees, nature trails, and children's parks. This community needs more parks such as the imagination station playground.
More Nature trails and Children's parks
3Stella1852about 1 year agoSchools
Loved the idea of parents getting together and working on keeping up schools on the outside buy let's implement a program to make the students accountable. Kids with detention kids with a free period rather then teacher assistants where they roam the halls they could roam the grounds and clean up. Hold our kids accountable for graffiti and why not help these kids going into trades out of high school by letting them get into the maintenance part of schools.
8Prioritize firstabout 1 year agoreal handicapped parking on Main Ave. Many will not shop downtown because there is none and will take their shopping dollars elsewhere .
8Krauskiabout 1 year agoUpdating the city bumper sticker
So the bumper stickers you see on all the police and city vehicles that states the city moto (at least I think it's the city moto) it reads: "HATE IS NOT A GRESHAM VALUE" Well there are 2 negative words in this positive message and if caught out of the corner of your eye, it could be read as "HATE IS A GRESHAM VALUE"..... So how about replacing the word "HATE" with the word "LOVE" and get rid of the word "NOT" so it reads like this: "LOVE IS A GRESHAM VALUE"
