Do you own a historic property? No
If you live in Tempe what is the age of your home? More than 50 years
Please share any comments on these revisions. I've lived in several pre 1973 buildings in Tempe and my current apartment is the only one that could be described as livable (owing to a complete gutting in 2007) these stucco track houses were not intended to last this long and anything which was actually designed by an architect at the time is already listed. Demolishing unfit housing shouldn't be complicated.
Do you support waiving application fees to designate a property in the Tempe Historic Property Register? No
Please share any comments on these revisions. Everyone in the city knows that the "historic" housing stock represents readily available and non unique vernacular architecture and that many houses in Tempe are beyond their intended lifespan. Historic designation is exclusively used to circumvent democratic pressure to increase development in the city. Stop permitting these people to use obtuse language to prevent the development that Tempe residents have repeatedly indicated support for.
Please share any additional comments on the proposed updates. Historic protection should be limited to sites on the national historic register, city registration prevents density and forces renters into unsafe and unfit housing.

Do you own a historic property? No
If you live in Tempe what is the age of your home? Less than 50 years
Please share any comments on these revisions. Horrible. Tempe needs more housing stock, especially in purpose-built exclusionary neighborhoods in South Tempe.

This ordinance is transparently designed to try and render incoming preemption useless.

Please share any comments on these revisions. This is the wrong direction we need for Tempe. Historic buildings are nice, but not all 50+ year old properties are historical The majority aren't even close and in 10 years a supermajority of homes will fall under this ordinance. It will only make it harder for homeowners to do what they want with their own property. We should be making it easier to redevelop Tempe not harder.

Please share any comments on these revisions. Oppose the 50 years or older term. 50 years or older should not be considered a historic property, as it will affect ability to build affordable housing in Tempe neighborhoods in the future.

Please share any comments on these revisions. good idea. hopefully a compromise can be reached and a part of community history can be saved.
Do you support waiving application fees to designate a property in the Tempe Historic Property Register? Yes
Please share any comments on these revisions. Notification must be streamlined and shared within the zoning, development and preservation offices. Also expanding the definition of archaeologically sensitive area will help to clarify what is a and is not considered sensitive areas.
Please share any additional comments on the proposed updates. adaptive reuse and compatible architectural designs must be adapted to preserve the character of historically significant areas in Tempe. Many cities across the globe have been able to achieve this, historic preservation and compatible development.
Downtown Tempe and long Mill Ave. help to tell the story of how San Pablo and Hayden's Ferry became Tempe. the buildings help to tell these stories to future generations.

Please share your thoughts on the proposed pedestrian bridge design. What elements would you like to see changed or added?

No decorative pots, cactus etc. Would like to see a southwestern design painted instead on the sides
Please share your thoughts on the proposed design from Broadway Road to the south bridge landing at Encanto Drive. ok with it
How do you commute to work or school? Select all that apply. Car
If you plan on using the corridor for biking, what do you anticipate will be your trip purpose? Please check all that apply. Other - i don't bike
This bridge is intended to provide better access to destinations in the surrounding area. Which destinations will be easier for you to access once it’s completed. Tempe Marketplace - I'm there every weekend supporting the small business and Harkins
Please share any other thoughts you have on the project. Any pots, cactus, or other artwork that needs to be installed should be presented to Tempe voters. I do not like the Broadway Curve ugly cactus pods - reminds me of what happened on SR 51 with the pots. I haven't found one person in my neighborhood that is happy with that artwork. Open up any artwork for the bridge to Tempe highschools art department and ASU art dept students. Much like we did with Valley Metro Bus last summer and a Marcos de Niza student won with her artwork displayed. We should follow all artwork projects like Bobb Cooper of Valley Metro - open it to our students.
