Appoint citizens to help Clint cut down and alert to panhandling and prostitution between church and strand. Fine repeat panhandlers. Most homeless will not go to salvation army either because of their major or because they drank a beer and now not allowed or don't have the 5.00 to stay there. The newest batch of homeless say they were brought here from montrose. Some are violent or appear they could become that way quickly. The semi homeless in the rooming houses are notorious panhandlers. They collect monies on the street and buy a beer. A couple of older females have turned tricks in alley between church and postoffice off 21st. Trust me it wasn't the view I wanted from my window. There is also the mentally ill.

To attract more tourists and make our roads safer and more accessible the city should create bike lanes. This would attract all sorts of people who enjoy the outdoors and would love our city. In addition, this enhancement would create a safe environment for residents to ride their bicycles, encourage green responsible living, promote healthy lifestyles. Take a look at what's going on in Austin and the inner loop of Houston! This is a relatively inexpensive project. The city could utilize this in marketing and offer maps of the designated bike lanes either with an app or physical map. Adding bike lanes connecting the Strand, East End Historical District and the Seawall would promote growth and economic stability for our local businesses while promoting accessibility across the island.

I KNOW that cleaning up all that seaweed and stink from the beach would definitely improve tourism as the current reviews on social media are telling people not to go there because the place smells rotten. Seems like this would be a priority for a beach tourism community. Hope something is done ASAP! Inmates and/or people having to do community service need to be included in this effort.

I travel to Galveston 4 times a year. It is a long way from the Houston airports. I use Uber to Galveston, but on way back I use a taxi.
You have no idea about how bad Galveston looks to not have Uber. The experience is like night and day. Uber is so much faster , cleaner, and less expensive.
Perhaps you don't care about visitors , but the lack of Uber makes Galveston look like an undeveloped backwater , rather than a tourist destination.

I am currently living and working downtown and am quite frustrated with the new parking system. There are no residential parking permits available and the parking tickets have doubled in price. Parking options for residents should be a given, like the year round parking options for the seawall (which is great!). It would also be nice to see where all this new parking ticket revenue is going, my only guess is to paybyphone.com and vinyl wrapping SUVs.

This city is in DESPERATE need of middle income housing. Our pastor was nearly forced to move off island when their rental home was sold and they had to look for other housing. And way too many of our police and firefighters have to live off island because of the high housing costs here. That means our tax dollars that pay their salaries are being spent off island and not supporting local businesses. PLEASE DO something to encourage developers to create middle income housing here instead of luxury homes for a change to the betterment of this beloved island.

Traffic signals need to be synchronized on Broadway, Harborside and Seawall similar to the signals on Ave O and P. The poorly timed lights backup traffic on all these main thoroughfares and causes vehicles to waste fuel and time. The lights at 37th and 77th at Harborside are terrible and should be changed to favor Harborside. These current traffic signals are use an antiquated timed system instead of using an actuated system.

I'm currently a resident of the downtown area. When I first moved in I was told that the parking lot was full due to the fact that there are about 20 spots for 80 units. There is 2hr parking in front of my building and very limited free parking with no time limit off 21st street. Although there is the parking off 21st that parking is usually full especially since it is now summer and people don't want to pay for the new metered parking. I think that it would be great for downtown residents to have some time of permit that would allow us to park in the 2hr parking for a time frame greater than 2 hrs. I have received 2 tickets for going over the 2 hr limit which is frustrating because there is simply no where else to park. I believe that having a parking pass option for downtown residents would be a great improvement and make life a tad bit easier for all residents.

Hey guys, as a lifelong resident of Galveston county, all i can say that that i love this place and all the people here. I love the state of Texas and the country i call my own. It disgusts me to see the race war that is unfolding in front of our eyes. Im here to suggest a weekend of family fun and activities on the beach aimed at bringing everyone of all race and color out to unite each other. To interact with each other. To make new lifelong friends. To see for ourselves with our own eyes that love and unity is possible if we come together and stand as a human race, not by skin color. Let us be the pioneers of a movement in America to prove that love and peace is possible. I know several bands, business owners and food truck operators that are more than willing to donate their time to prove Galveston is the best place with the best people in the world. Lets show some support for one another and start this revolution once and for all! Let's schedule a weekend for a great time!!
