Mayor Adams' cuts to NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Parks in the FY25 budget eliminated nearly 800 staffing lines, instated a hiring freeze, and ended crucial programs that families depend on. These actions perpetuate a dangerous trend of disinvestment in parks at a time when these spaces are more critical than ever. By failing to restore basic services and staffing for Parks, NYC Office of the Mayor is endangering New Yorkers and weakening communities. These austerity measures prevent the filling of urgently needed positions, including Parks Enforcement Patrol officers, Natural Resources Group staff, and City Parks Workers, who ensure our parks are safe, clean, and accessible.?

There's a trick to creating terrific places: start somewhere amazing. The incredible places where East West works are not an accident. They are the result of decades of effort from those communities and their leadership. Residents care about historic preservation in Charleston. They worry about views and employees in Avon. They care deeply about affordable housing and open space in Cherry Creek. This care makes places great; it also creates unique entitlement environments. Okay, maybe "unique" means "difficult." Rezoning Cherry Creek West took over three years.?Entitling The West End in Edwards took 882 days.? We learned a lot along the way and wanted to share a few things with you: * Patience: It just takes a while. However, there's a moat created by these processes and the best land is worth it. * Flexibility: The approval process at Courier Square in Charleston was relatively quick, primarily because of our public charrette process. By adjusting our plans, pretty dramatically, to respond to community input, we ended up with a better project and great support. * Be In The Community: East West team members are deeply integrated into their communities. We sit on community boards, volunteer in the community, and advocate for great policy. That trust served us incredibly well when negotiating our community benefits agreement at Cherry Creek West. We knew everyone. * Actively Engaged: At The West End in Edwards, we reported to over referral agencies. Each of those has employees that care deeply about their responsibilities and work on real mandates from the government. Making them a part of our design team, considering their needs as best we can allowed for amendments and allowances that were needed to make the project feasible. They understood us because we understood them. Entitlements are hard; they are worth it. #createterrificplaces

?? Happy May long weekend! It's been a great past few days meeting so many of you. It's made me even more determined to earn your trust and support for this upcoming election. This city needs more than just ideas—we need actionable solutions for smart growth from trusted leaders. That’s why I’ve summarized my values for Chestermere’s future into three core points: action, trust & smart growth. Action means taking reasonable, achievable steps towards the massive goals we want to see in Chestermere. Personally, I’m done waiting patiently for new schools, better recreation facilities and affordable housing. Trust means that when the City says something is true, it is. My word is my commitment, character and reputation, and I don’t take that lightly. Smart growth means giving our infrastructure a chance to catch up to our population. For decades, Chestermere has grappled with the pains of rapid growth because this is a wonderful place that people want to live—and I’m committed to this vision. If action, trust and smart growth sound like the Chestermere you want to see, I invite you to learn more and get in touch through my website https://janellesandboe.com #votejanellesandboe #yourvoicematters #chestermereelection2024

Here in Colorado Springs, we've seen dramatic changes, but are we truly progressing in areas that matter most, like safety, employment, and cultural vibrancy? Let's dissect our city's current trajectory. #SafetyEnhancements: Efforts to boost public safety are ongoing, but is there a tangible sense of security downtown, day or night? #EmploymentOpportunities: Job creation is evident, but are these opportunities accessible across all wage levels? Higher wages could invigorate other sectors and enhance overall economic health. #CulturalDevelopment: While there have been notable investments in cultural sites and public spaces, does it enrich our city's unique identity, or are we just echoing other metro areas? Colorado Springs is at a crossroads. It's not just about comparing ourselves to cities like Austin or Denver; it's about defining our own path and ensuring it leads to a prosperous and secure future for all residents. Join The Lana Rodriguez Group as we align with our city’s goals to navigate these pivotal times. Together, we can champion a real estate market that reflects our highest aspirations for Colorado Springs! #ColoradoSpringsFuture #RealEstateInsights #CommunityDevelopment
