INITIATIVES, GOALS, IDEAS

 

 

Professional Beach Volleyball Venue for West Palm Beach

    1. It will bring income into the city 2-3 times a year through being on the professional circuits.
    2. An intramural type circuit can be created so that local businesses and offices can form teams and compete against each other.
    3. Local Colleges can utilize it to create a new PE curriculum or to form a collegiate team.
    4. Youth groups / underprivileged groups can utilize it on a regular basis.
    5. Local charitable organizations can hold charity tournaments there.
       

OK, Atlanta and Louisville are on the Professional Beach Volleyball Circuit........and not West Palm Beach?!
 

SIGN OUR PETITION OF SUPPORT to help get this great venue into West Palm Beach.

 

Green Support For The City

  1. Green city owned land with sustainable and xeroscape planting projects, including large swaths of wildflower plantings.
  2. Enhance existing parks by building structures and planting new plants that attract certain birds, butterflies and other wildlife
  3. Help the city maintain all green areas and waterfronts going forward through volunteerism and private funding. This would include securing these areas as best possible before hurricanes.
  4. Help support organizations that are doing environmental work locally.
     

Future Projects We Would Like To Accomplish or See Accomplished

    1. a CITY GARDEN that can grow vegetables and fruits (maintained by volunteers) to distribute to organizations that feed the local homeless.
    2. a state of the art DOG PARK
    3. a SHARED BIKE PROGRAM / drop off & pickup facilities.
    4. a proper and safe LAUNCH FOR NON-MOTORIZED WATER VESSELS (kayaks and canoes, etc.) at Currie Park or along another point of Flagler Drive
    5. a small AMATEUR ARTS INSTALLATION / COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE along with low cost vendor shacks that can be leased out cheap on a daily basis so that local artists and vendors can display and sell local flair and so non-professional actors (including those who have groups at the Cuillo Theater and PBA) and musicians have a place to practice and a place to put on free shows.


Other Ideas To Enhance The Community

1. Connect opposite sides of the city, NS, EW, SW, NE, etc. through these greening/park efforts (as directional interims), bike paths (and places to secure bikes), and intervening destinations to encourage walking and biking for work, leisure, and social destination by creating direction and interest between point A & point B with as little resistance as possible.

2.  Create an educational program that focuses on the local environment (water, sea life, birds, wetlands, etc) that can be used by local schools and children’s organizations and have local non-profit organizations such as Reef Rescue and Grassy Water’s Preserve, and Shake-A-Leg that are working with nature and the environment to co-develop and publish the program, submitting parts of the program within their expertise. This is to create appreciation and conservation of the local environment in our youngsters.

3. Form an ‘open source’ community think tank and resource center to:

    1. Promote architectural design and color diversity, and green building concepts downtown and create a forum to allow the public to comment on future proposed building projects in the downtown area.
    2. Provide a one stop place where people and organizations look for and advertise volunteer work for the city, the WPBLGI, for certain social needs, and for non-profits – an organized efficient ‘posting board’ of sorts.
