[Winona Online Democracy] Alright....if I were Queen:
How can we encourage families to purchase an in-town "rental" and refurbish it to its former state of elegance ? It would be convenient to the central city, there would be a feeling of history, you would have done the property and surrounding area a favor, it would not need extended city services, and could probably be done for less than the quarter-million that a large new home in the outskirts would cost. Perhaps the persons living in the downtown area, where off-street parking is at a premium, could have identification on their vehicle allowing them to come and go from downtown long-terms lots without an accompanying parking fine. How about both end positions of every block of parking be designated as a 10-minute space? I have mentioned this one before in another venue. It would facilitate necessary errands such as having your eyeglasses adjusted. And, "errand runners" wouldn't tie up the mid-block parking for those who want to do some serious long-term shopping or dining or meeting. Would someone like to hop on a band-wagon with me for campaigns for "Adopt a Block" and "Adopt a Storm Sewer"? How many family homes are for sale within the city limits in any given period of time? Are those property owners just "circulating", or are they leaving the city? How many "new" families are arriving each year? Should we consider "in-fill" before we "add-on"? Enough of my Queen-for-a-day thought-starters. What's more, it's my second limit-of-two for today. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dwayne Voegeli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 10, 2004 12:42 PM Subject: [Winona] Wilson Township Question: What would you do? > [Winona Online Democracy] > > Arlene asked about subjects worthy of comment. > > How about if we return to the discussion of the Wilson Township issue? > > ----- > > If you were King/Queen for the day, what would you do about the Wilson > Township issue? > > Partial, incomplete, or half-cooked ideas are fair game. > > Maybe betwixt the lot of us, we can come up with some interesting ideas. > > :-> > > Dwayne > > July 10, 2004 > > ----- > > > > > >In the past week I have received 4 of Duane Peterson's from last February, > >and 1 each from Vicki and from Phil to comment on those. > >Has almost all conversation taken a summer sabbatical?
