This seems like a great idea. Are there groups in the city who run this type of center? Or local Brownsville groups?

I think bringing back PAL in this community would be of great advantage to the youth in the area. Our youth have the wrong concept of police so the interaction in a community center with volunteer police... Read more...

Jesse Gericke

This intersection is awful for both pedestrians and bikers. The Howard and Eastern Pkwy intersection is also really bad. Cars turning onto Eastern Pkwy from Howard rarely slow down or yield to pedestrians.... Read more...

I think the city should provide incentives or make it affordable to start small family owned businesses such as restaurants, cafes and bakeries. There is nowhere in Brownsville where families can go enjoy... Read more...
