I am afraid that the violence in Norfolk may spread to our city
I am concerned about racial tension. As a white female, I have been harassed by black females when shopping in predominately black neighborhoods (College Park).
I live off of Providence Rd. The traffic around the Indian River Rd area is ridiculous at rush hour. We need a solution. Lots of folks do not want to move to this area because of the traffic.
I am not aware of any natural disaster plans the City of VA Beach has in place. I want to be confident that our great city has things in plan to help prepare their citizens for natural disasters.
Sea Level rise and flooding has the potential to impact our city greatly. What is VA Beach doing to protect our city from this?
If not listed above, what topics would you like to see discussed?
Crime - especially burglaries. I think that burglaries in VA Beach are on the rise and I want to know what VA Beach is doing to protect residents from being victims of burglary.
I enjoy the Woodstock Cove park in my neighborhood. I would like there to be restrooms at this park. I also want to be reassured that the city will not sell this park to a neighborhood developer that will take the park and build homes on it.
