Improvements
on West Texas Street Needed
A
portion of West Texas Street has been improving, but the entire
street needs to be improved.
A new modern bus depot is now located by the ramp from West
Texas Street. Business owners have been improving their landscaping and
building appearances. Patronize
those businesses that invest in making our Gateway more beautiful
Selling of County Hospital: The county wisely sold the old hospital
site. Funds for this will pay for a new homeless shelter to be
located at a different place. Fairfield receives an unfair
share of the burden of helping the county's homeless and those
incarcerated in its prisons and jails. Solano County however
is trying to force Fairfield residents to accept the next homeless
shelter. Why can't the shelter be located in Vallejo, Vacaville
or Dixon? The county continues to dump its social problems
onto West Texas Street.
Cal Trans Parking Lot: This eye sore continues to be improperly
placed on our main thoroughfare into Fairfield. Cal Trans may
have talked about relocating, but are they serious? Must we
look at their site each time we drive by? The state should
sell the land, and use the funds to buy a larger and better site on
less valuable land. Unless you get involved, it will remain
there year after year.
Allan Witt Park - New Signs Needed: The park's outdated 70's style
signage needs to be replaced. The "Welcome To
Fairfield" sign is tilted and needs to be replaced. A
single color of paint needs to be maintained when painting out
graffiti so that there is some consistency.
There is some positive activity going on at Allan Witt Park.
A new skate park will be built soon, the Rotary-City of
Fairfield Skate Park, which is greatly anticipated by the city's
youth. It will be
one of the largest skate parks in Northern California.
The expected completion date is Spring 2002.
We'll keep you posted.
The area of West Texas
Street that is in greatest need of improvement starts at Allan Witt
Park and continues to Pennsylvania Street.
