Would like to see a safe viable solution implemented for a pedestrian crossing from North to South Andover across highway 54 (Kellogg). This could be a pedestrian bridge, tunnel or if it proves safe a “regular” crosswalk. This would allow individuals who do not have or chose not to use motor vehicles a safe way to cross this very busy highway.

At least 25% of the revenue created annually will be utilized to provide property tax relief for Andover residents.

c) Mini-Park Play Equipment
d) 13th St. Parking Lot Lights
e) Central Park Picnic Shelter
f) Police Department Parking Lot Lights
g) Central Park Amphitheater
h) 13th St Ball Diamond Remodel
i) Purchase of Park Land South of US54
j) Fire Truck (75’ Quint)
k) Burial of Power Lines along Andover Road
l) Fire Station South of US54
m) Remodel Police/Court Basement
n) Other
The City Council agrees the Street Shop is the most critical project, but wants your help prioritizing the remainder of the list. Which of the projects listed above do you consider most important? List the top 3, with 1 being most important.

I urge residents to look beyond the smokescreen of a potential property tax relief and look at the real issues. Do we really want to add a sales tax with no sunset? Do we really want to endorse a sales tax without a clearly defined scope of work? I am all for moving the city forward and I would support a sales tax, however, I will not support a blank checkbook. And I will not support a blank checkbook when there are not clearly defined projects and scopes of work. Ask your elected representatives to do their job and their homework give us a defined package to vote on with an end. I have no problem with them asking me every 4-5 years for a sales tax, I do not like a never ending tax that once is approved we have very limited control on where the money is spent. We will be threatened with property tax increases, however, I would ask our representatives to look at this issue and present it in a manner all can support, give us a sunset and give us a defined project list.

The Parents and children of Sunflower and ACMS/ACHS really need to have a left hand turning lane or light on Andover Rd and Douglas Intersection. While waiting for through traffic, usually only one car can turn left in front of oncoming traffic during the time before school starts. It causes time constraints for parents using the proper procedures for Sunflower car rider traffic flow pattern as well creates a safety issue when both north and southbound traffic need to turn left.

I would like to see the breed specific legislation law lifted on pit bulls in Andover city limits, or to make regulations on owning them like Wichita. For example have to have them chipped, fixed, registered to the city and can not have more then two in a house hold. It shouldn't be based on a breed, base it on weather a dog can pass a aggressive test or not. Such a wonderful breed that is just misunderstood.

As of 5/14/14 the Andover YMCA has 180 kids signed up for T-ball and roughly 130 for 6-7 year old baseball. Our town simply does not have enough fields to handle practices for all these teams. While more fields for younger kids would be the ideal solution I would settle for the city installing some backstops around Central park. There are huge open areas that could handle multiple teams but without a backstop it is hard to practice.
