WHAT WE HEARD

BIG IDEAS

My vision for Ferry Park

is a clean, safe, beautiful

stretch of housing, small

businesses with green

grass and self parking in

the back.

WHAT IS YOUR BIG IDEA

FOR FERRY PARK?

COMMUNITY

CENTER

No big ideas. Small,

incremental solutions

creating a base of

community wealth,

trust, momentum, etc.

BLACK-

OWNED SMALL

BUSINESSES

I think preserving the

history would be amazing,

maybe even some street

signage to show historic

photographs to supplement

the historic plaques on the

buildings!

MORE SHOPS

& LOCAL

STORES

Basketball court,

coffee shop,

and community

operated bodega

Ferry Park just needs a

SPARK to kick off positive

development. I say, firstly, we

need a cafe or a grocery store,

that thrives, and that will spur

more positive improvements.

For it to become

very bright and

beautiful with a

recreation center

for the youths.

Becoming both a local

organizing and meeting

space of pride to residents...

and a commercial/cultural

destination for people

further afield.

MUSICAL

EXPERIENCE WITH

STORYTELLING

FOR ALL AGES!!

A destination to

conduct business,

dine and spend time

seeing neighbors.

A park/seating area

that has places for food

trucks. Allow businesses

to build their business

without having to build

out a full restaurant.

HOUSING,

affordable, modern,

multi unit, &

condensed.

GROCERY

STORE

Somewhat interested

in a farmer’s market

in warm months, but

priority to a grocery

store.

Farmer’s market would

be great for people

growing produce in

their yards or on lots.

The neighborhood used

to be independent and

have everything that

was needed.
