My neighbors and I absolutely love starting our day and ending our day at Gracenote! It is such a gem of a spot and we are so lucky to have it in our neighborhood. It should not be so cumbersome for a space like this to exist where they can offer daytime beverages (coffee and tea) and then a relaxing evening environment with alcoholic beverages for people to unwind after work. I am hopeful the licensing board will understand how important this space is and approve their request for a liquor license. Thank you.
Katherine supported: Public Support for Gracenote Cafe's Liquor License application*Something* has needed to happen with the stadium for years. It's not in good condition and is not fully able to serve its purpose to the community and students. Partnering with NSWL will revitalize this useful resource for the community, and support women's pro sports which seems like a double win to me!
Scott supported: Support the White Stadium Redevelopment ProjectThe City has been highly responsive to community input. The Soccer games will be almost exclusively in the early evenings to minimize conflicts with existing park use. One dollar from each ticket (plus additional fundraising) will go to a Franklin Park Preservation Fund. BPS use of the stadium will increase several-fold over current levels. This project - with many more school activities - will bring people, energy, and activity into the park. The surrounding park areas are receiving tremendous investment and we can expect that investment to continue, with the Stadium as an anchor for the northern section of the park. Finally, it is AMAZING in this day and age to see the City put the kind of resources it is putting into this public facility, and I applaud the creativity to partner with the women's soccer team as an investment and maintenance partner. These days, it often feels like "we can't have nice things" or that "government can't do anything". This stadium project, alongside the City's careful planning and deep community engagement (>60 community meetings!) have given me a new sense of hope as a lifetime resident of this city.
***One major remaining issue: Transportation has been discussed ad nauseam for the soccer games. However, there has been very little discussion about BPS events. We need a clear commitment from BPS that there will be NO PARKING IN THE PARK during BPS games/practices. To make this feasible, and to avoid impacts on local neighborhoods, we need major public transportation improvements and a comprehensive transportation plan for the park, so students, their friends, and families can come to BPS events without driving. It is essential and will benefit the park year-round.
Jacob supported: Support the White Stadium Redevelopment ProjectMaking Election Day a federal holiday in the United States could increase voter turnout by providing citizens with more time to vote without work conflicts. In the 2020 election, 13.1% of registered voters who didn’t vote cited being too busy or having scheduling conflicts as the reason. Additionally, such a holiday would celebrate democracy, turning voting into a nationwide event. This approach aligns with practices in other countries and has significant public support; a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 80% of Democrats and nearly 70% of Republicans favor making Election Day a federal holiday.
