What Would You Build in Rohnert Park?

Rohnert Park-Cotati, CA - Earlier this week, Rohnert Park-Cotati 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 Rohnert Park-Cotati:

• "The bike/walking paths along the creeks."
• "Bring back the swimming pools!"
• "Roads. Make sure all roads smooth and no pot holes."
• "Youth Sports Complex."
• "Something for homeless services! Hot meals, showers/restrooms, laundry, device charging stations."
• "More summer activities for kids free summer programs"
• "In Cotati I would fix some of those roads - the taxpayers pay taxes for but since they are "rural" they don't get fixed! They are full of dips and ruts and can flood."
• "I'd fix the education system and build affordable apartments for people who are single and can't afford over $1,000 a month for a 1 bedroom!"
• "Finish the Snyder lane widening and pave it all the way to Petaluma hill road with bike lanes. Also pave east Cotati ave from the train tracks to Snyder."
