Just want to touch up on some ideas people have already discussed.

1.) I agree with burying all utility lines. It looks so trashy and so many nice cities don't have them and it's keeping our city from looking "clean". Many cities who don't have them look very nice and for this reason.

2.) I agree with the billboard thing-to many and it clutters up the streets and obstructs views.

3.) Someone mentioned earlier that Tuscaloosa should have a nice "Welcome to Tuscaloosa" type sign you would see right when exiting off the highway and that would be nice especially for visitors

4.) I feel we have plenty of parks but a lot of the space can be utilized better. I agree with the whole Memorial being dedicated to the heroes and storm victims and I think there is plenty of room already in the park along McFarland. I think that place is better because it's the most visible, especially to visitors, in my opinion

5.) I COMPLETELY agree with the need for sidewalks/safer ways for pedestrians as I'm a student and know a lot of students would love to bike in great weather to restaurants and shopping areas as opposed to driving literally 30 seconds away to Midtown or 15th.

6.) A REALLY important thing for me personally as a student and also speaking for other students, is the need for SOME sort of attractions/interesting places to go. I know we go to UA but we still utilize every area and place around Tuscaloosa as much as the community and therefore I know MANY of the students would benefit from places like some of the suggestions I've read like building a skate rink, arcade, mini-golf, skate park, an aquarium, batting cages or go-kart place or some things like that. Personally, I would love to see a nightclub built for students and really cool multi-level bars/restaurants that could attract a lot of the music scene

7.) Someone stated trees and flowers in the medians of streets and I agree. I think we need to enhance the scenery and establish more identity with UA
