Our city and RTD should incorporate NaviLens, a cutting edge technology for the visually impaired to make Longmont smarter & more inclusive.
I am a local, legally blind person and I would love to see our city become more accessible and inclusive by incorporating Navilens code markers into our city's fabric. As you may or may not know, visually impaired people (VIP) have difficulty using traditional signage and therefore cannot be autonomous in unfamiliar environments. The beauty of the NaviLens codes are that a VIP doesn’t need to know precisely where they are placed. By using the application and a mobile camera (without focusing), they can scan a code from a long distance and get the necessary information contextualized. The capabilities of this code allow users to interact more easily and accessibly with their environment in places such as schools, bus stops and museums or public buildings. These codes are also great for sighted, non-english speakers as information can be provided in 34 languages. I am not affiliated in any way with Navilens, I just want to make Longmont great. Please check it out. Thank you, https://www.navilens.com/en/#navilens-section Two Apps Available to interact with this new technology: The NaviLens App helps visually-impaired users, who can scan the codes without needing to know exactly where they are, offering the same information as the signage very accurately. The NaviLens GO App provides in-station navigation, trip planning information, train arrivals and service status information to help sighted users navigate the station and the system.

Dog licenses and everything online
I loved when I could go into The Humane Society and buy my dog license. I am angry that now I have to do it all online. I even went into the police department and was handed a frigging tablet. With the amount of computer hacks, I just don't want to put things online. Why isn't there a person that can do this. I was just hacked and had to change all my accounts, which is time consuming and difficult. Bad decision Longmont.

Tax rebates for heat pumps/mini-split ACs. These are much better for environment and available but cost of units/install expensive.
Suggest our city (or county) introduce tax rebates for these. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/07/21/europe-heat-wave-heat-pump/

Medical Marijuana Delivery
HB19-1234 - Regulated Marijuana Delivery Bill was passed by the legislative session in 2019 and signed into law by Gov. Polis. The act creates marijuana delivery permits for licensed medical marijuana centers and transporters and licensed retail marijuana stores and transporters that allow the centers, stores, and transporters to deliver medical marijuana, medical marijuana-infused products, retail marijuana, and retail marijuana products to customers. The act gives the state licensing authority rule-making authority over the permit and delivery system. A city ordinance still has yet to be approved delivery to Longmont residence. Let's get this done together! 😁

Speeding in Neighborhoods
Invest in photo radar vans. It's an investment to save lives and generate revenue for the city. It's needed. In my Ward 2 neighborhood, the 25 MPH speed limit is regularly and consistently exceeded. It's not safe.

Free parking
The idea of free parking is a falsehood. We need to get rid of it.

Homelessness
Homelessness should not be a crime. We need to lift everyone up and leave no one behind. Especially people who have become addicted to drugs, help is what they need and require, not incarceration.

Security for bicycles
Denver has rebates for the purchase of e-bikes and I hope Boulder County can emulate. However, bike theft is a persistent problem. To encourage Longmont residents to ride instead of drive, would be good to have secure facilities where they can leave bikes without fear of theft. This could be a coded/phone app facility or a person overseeing a lot for a small fee. I know I would ride my (expensive) e-bike more often if I didn't fear it would be stolen when out of my sight. These could be located along Main St, Twin Peaks area, other major shopping areas.

Outdoor Electronic City Notice Boards Please
When we moved here over 20 years ago there used to be a banner that hung over Main Street near the Boston street crossing. It would tell us about all the upcoming town events. My family just missed the Rhythm at Roosevelt yesterday and almost missed art walk the week before if we hadn't stumbled into Main Street being closed. Our town works hard to put on some really cool events but I think we would all benefit from a couple of outdoor electric notice boards to help promote them - and even pass on important city information. These boards are usually large HD LED style signs (Just not those annoyingly bright piercing ones). I think you'd need to get one definitely installed again near South Main but the Hoover part of West Longmont really needs one too to help encourage them to come in to downtown. Thanks for listening!

Green Sound Barriers on Hover
I'd like to see shrubs or coniferous trees planted along Hover from 3rd Ave. potentially all the way up to Mountain View to reduce road noise for residents who live close to or along Hover. Traffic has been increasing over the years and the noise pollution is significant. Studies have shown that green sound barriers can reduce noise levels by 5 -10 decibels.
