Walla Walla Skatepark
Walla Walla needs an expansion to the existing skatepark. I believe this is necessary because it would give the kids a place to go and skate or even watch. This in return would give the kids a place to go, there would be more obstacles and challenge. This would also help in keeping kids from skateing downtown and on Mainstreet. We are currently exepting donations. Skateboarding is the 6th highest participant sport in America, Please help. For more information you can visit skatewallawalla.org, or go into The Lost Boardroom, or Walla Walla Roastery.

Alder Street traffic lights downtown are dangerous!
I think the first thing the city needs to fix are the stop lights on alder street. That street has traffic lights that are not uniform in position. In other words, every other light on that street is different from the one on either side of it.
Half of the traffic lights on Alder street are hung in the middle of the street, and the other half are hung on the poles on the sides of the street. If you are stopped at a light that is in the middle, and you look down the road to the next middle light, you are actually looking 2 blocks away, not 1. This leads to a ton of near accidents each year and, if you checked, probably a whole lot of real ones.
Let's use some common sense Walla Walla and fix the dangerous stuff first.
Please!

School bonds
May the school district should try NOT replacing schools. There are 2 beautiful schools in Walla Walla that WERE NOT REPLACED but updated. I sure don't see how buying property, building new schools (that would probably be built like todays houses, way too elaborate) could be cheaper than renovating and updating existing property and buildings. AND new schools sure won't improve the teaching that comes out of those schools.

This is our town
I liked the town much more before it became "wine country". I didn't need all this extra culture to enjoy what Walla Walla is truly about. It is about our great natural settings, our expansive agricultural land, our uncrowded streets and neighborhoods, our affordable way of life. Now that I am all grown up, if I want to purchase a house I will have to move out to Prescott or Dayton. How has this "wine country" benefited me? Did they bring me our great landscape and quiet neighborhoods? No, they have ruined it. It takes so long to drive from 9th to Eastgate via Main and Boyer, because we have all these brainless people who think that they can walk all over the middle of Main Street while carrying their newly purchased wine and gawk at an old building, and yell at me as I try and drive past them. Next time I won't slow down for you, and I don't care if I make you spill your wine. But I guess it is ok since many of them buy homes in our floodplains and cry when it rains. When are we going to sell our extra land for their next housing development? You know, the land right between Kmart and WWCC? It would be an excellent use of land. I look forward to the day that I can afford to move back into Walla Walla, after they have all left, and we begin the cleanup of what they have left behind.

2nd High School
We should not overlook the kids who are not attending Wa-Hi and their needs. Frankly, they are the ones hanging out downtown smoking with nothing to do other than maybe getting into trouble. There is nothing available for TEENAGERS to do that is FREE. A lot of the families struggling in Walla Walla are the poor families that have kids with issues. If a single mom has to work 2 minimum wage jobs to feed/house/clothe her 3 kids and her teenager is experimenting with drugs, got kicked out of Wa-Hi for being truant, then we are failing her as a community. After 30 consecutive days, the school district just kicks kids out and expect everyone else to serve that child. Juvenile Justice Center is for short-term offenses, but now the average stay is 15 days? Plus the facility is FULL all the time!
I am tired of "those" kids mentality. Some of "those" kids have rich parents who get all kinds of services and resources, but the poor kids are left high and dry. I am so disappointed with the County Department of Human Services wasting 2 years of a grant to do NOTHING for kids. And why does DHS have child mental health in the same building as adult mental health??? Child predators are "adult mental health" and have access to children and moms, they have an outlet to victimize children.

Safety
The corners of 3rd and Chestunt, 4th and Chestnut, and Chase and Chestnut should be 4-way stops. People are parking right up to the corners on Chestnut giving limited sightlines for drivers on the cross-streets. People race up and down Chestnut between 2nd and 9th. There are two schools which have students crossing Chestnut: Garrison Middle School and Paine School (which idiot decided to rename that school? Do they even know who the Paine was it was named after?). We also need at least one swimming pool. When we have a pool for everyone to use, then we can talk about perhaps expanding it to an "Aquatic Center". First things first; why do the Park and Recreation people think the bond measures keep failing? I was born and raised here in Walla Walla. When I was growing up we had Memorial, the Natatorium, Pioneer Park and Jefferson Park pools. Now we have...?
