Plan 468
"Free Health Care for All Phoenicians"
3.
Plan 468 "The Phoenix Indian School Road
Corridor"
-
"It is time for change from
Downtown to Midtown"
The primary focus of the
current mayor and city council is to focus on development of
Downtown Phoenix and in doing so, have abandoned the rest of
Phoenix. The Gordon, Johnson, DeCiccio, and Simplot city council
focus on Downtown Phoenix only attracts a few thousand tourists per
year. Robert D. Johnson,
District 4; Nathan Oshop, District 6; and Jon Garrido, District 8,
want to make Midtown rather than Downtown the focus of the next
generation of Phoenix.
-
"Job
creation stands alone as the greatest need in Phoenix"
To give priority to
creating jobs for Phoenix residents, Johnson, Oshop and Garrido have
prepared a plan to revitalize the center of Phoenix using the goal
and strategy of Plan 468 The "Indian School Road Corridor"
Revitalization Plan to convert Indian School Road from a dormant
roadway into a vibrant business park corridor of new research and
development firms, international trade and light manufacturing firms
and other support and related businesses that will create retail and
housing opportunities.
-
"Quality jobs for Phoenix residents" will be created by
promoting business opportunities for Phoenix businesses from new
commerce with Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Spain by establishing the
City of Phoenix's Phoenix Global Commerce Center on Indian School
Road.
-
"Moving Downtown to Midtown" is the new direction of Johnson,
Oshop and Garrido to move City of Phoenix business services and
assistance facilities giving priority to
Midtown rather than Downtown as the priority of the present mayor
and city council. It is time for a change from Downtown to
Midtown. The creation of jobs and revitalization of Midtown
Phoenix, Arizona is long over due.
4.
Plan 468
"Phoenix Energy and Green Jobs"
-
"Re-cycles landfills from blighted
land uses (brownfields) into sales tax revenue for the City of Phoenix"
-
"Makes re-cycled landfills into La
Playa del Sol and SeaWorld Phoenix"
by developing
hotels, golf courses, retail, entertainment venues, lakes, and park
settings.
-
"Reduce the City of Phoenix's energy
consumption and CO2 emissions by 30% within 10 years."
-
"Invest 10% of the City’s energy expenses
in energy-saving measures. Recoup investment through rebates and
savings."
5.
Plan 468 "Phoenix Community Facilities Should Serve All Residents but
do Not"
-
Where neighborhood retail shopping
centers are
found in close proximity to City of Phoenix community centers, Phoenix community
centers will participate with neighborhood retail centers
sponsoring weekly (not just once a year) events undertaken by both entities and
other interested parties to build a neighborhood community. The Community Center will benefit
by marketing programs and services to the community rather than acting in
complete isolation providing services in the same way since the days of the
dinosaurs.
-
"City of Phoenix
centers will be modified to provide programs, services and
facilities to all."
Currently some City
of Phoenix centers do not offer programs, services and facilities to
all age groups.
-
The axiom: "The
whole
is greater
than the sum of the parts" is profoundly applicable in this situation and the
most perfect example of this is the non participation of the City of Phoenix
Devonshire Senior Center
acting independent and oblivious to the surrounding neighborhood which is a
significant disservice to the City of Phoenix and its residents.
The Devonshire Center staff must
be mandated to leave their cocoon like attitude and join in a symbiotic
relationship with surrounding neighborhood organizations to sponsor events that
benefit both.
-
"City
of Phoenix community centers acting in concert with neighborhood
groups, small businesses, churches and other interested parties
shall come together to build community" such as a successful plaza and community
center extension to facilitate the use of a underutilized street space and/or
a neighborhood shopping center thereby transforming a stretch of roadway primarily
used for parking into an inviting and attractive open space adjacent to shops
and cafes by providing entertainment,
sports, recreational and neighborhood events coordinating joint utilization
thereby attracting a higher number of visitors (shoppers, workers, residents) to stores throughout
the day and evening and of course to marketing of the City of Phoenix community
center.
6.
Plan 468 "Phoenix Mixed Use Development
Nodes"
-
"Mixed Use Development Nodes is
the ideal
model for urban living to work, live, shop, attend schools,
churches, parks and entertainment activities"
by developing
central nodes
from an urban
planning perspective, This
eliminates the need to travel outside of the mixed used
development node to work, go to school, go to a restaurant
or any number of other destinations that now require some
mode of transportation.
-
"Building community by Mixed Use Development Nodes"
is an added
importance of building community
among the residents living with the "Node."
-
"Building urban living efficiency" such
as the cost savings in eliminating fuel to drive to a
destination when most destinations are a 10 minute walk away from residential use.
