What Would You Build in Pacifica?

Pacifica, CA - Earlier this week, Pacifica 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 Pacifica:

• "Please fix Linda Mar road."
• "Buy land where dogs can run free on instead of that sad dog park in a neighborhood that doesn't want the dogs."
• "I would connect 380. If there is a natural disaster we are all trapped, plus it would reduce traffic on 1."
• "Put a wall up between the freeway and homes plus clean up the freeway area. Put traffic signals in the Manor Dr. area."
• "Build a youth center for the kids."
• "We need better soccer fields for the kids. Other cities put us to shame."
• "My own home, since I'm a homeless veteran. I'm just lucky I have a good friend to help me live in their house."
• "We need improved libraries. I'd prefer to not have the Sophie's Choice of eliminating one of them. Why can't we dream bigger and improve/replace both?"
• "A bridge for all passing traffic so we people that live here can get to our neighborhoods faster! And buy me a house!"
• "Put back the fall's on Pedro creek."
