Things in West Haven that really would be worthwhile

While we're on the topic of Taxes, and City Services, I figured I'd mention a few things that really DO need doing.

• On Ocean Avenue (where people often dangerously speed), side walks need to be maintained for the whole length. There are sections of the road that do not have sidewalks at all!
• The seawall (from South Street through Baybrook) needs repairs in several places... and the Army Core of Engineers granite rocks that are protecting the sewer line need desparately to be reviewed and repaired as needed.
• Accessways to the water along the seawall need to be clearly marked, and maintained... this includes stairs!
• Street cleaning, litter cleaning, beach cleanup! This is our jewel, and we spend lots on sand... why not maintain what we have better! Why not get volunteers to help?
• Better utilize our beautiful public resources, such as the Grove, and the shoreline. Why isn't there a public dock in West Haven? Wouldn't a 'dock and dine' restaurant make sense?
• Bring back business to West Haven. We need to make West Haven attractive to businesses -- we need to particularly improve along the 95 corridor, and by the proposed Train Station. We should go after more big names. Why didn't WE get Stu Leonards? Please, no more housing there! We don't need houses -- we need businesses. Let's make the train stop a shopping destination!!!
  
• We need to improve the state of aging housing in our town. We should change zoning regulations to require larger property parcels in order to build new construction - we've become nothing but a suburbs... there is no business, no free land.
• Get the Riverfront project underway. We need to revitalize that area, too!
• Publicize what areas of town are zoned as historic areas... there is a lot of history in West Haven that is untold!
