What Would You Build in Imperial Beach?

Imperial Beach, CA - Earlier this week, Imperial Beach Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Imperial Beach:

• "The streets and all the bike lanes narrowing the main roads. Palm Ave down to the beach being only one lane is crazy! Not smart for a small city that wants to expand tourism down at the beach."
• "I would buy the empty lot on the beach "Date Ave" - build an awesome beach house."
• "I would open up our roads up to cars! I would spend money fixing all the alley's not just a chosen few! I would do some campaigning to let businesses know we want them in town.
• "I would add more sheriffs so our city is safer."
