What Would You Build in Livermore?

Livermore, CA- Earlier this week, Livermore Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Livermore:

• "Speedbumps on Bluebell. People think my street is a racetrack and treat it as a shortcut coming from Vasco."
• "Center island of palm trees down Palm Avenue"
• "Re-do the Rincon Pool"
• "Three homes: one for me and my kids, and help the school system with their sports."
• "Do something about the job and housing problem for the homeless people I see around town."
• "Build affordable housing"
• "Purchase whatever open land I could find and keep it from being built over!"
• "Basketball courts at Mocho Park"
• "Speed bumps on Rincon and Olivina"
• "Fix the police department that would solve the speed bump issue."
