Streets & Sidewalks:
	Grocery Store Connector	Make grocery stores in Oxford walkable. There is a well worn path here. Can we improve it and make it safer and more user friendly?		2	2

	Pothole at Public Works	This could use some work		0	0
	Credle Sidewalks	The sidewalks behind Credle are in bad shape. Maybe a cleanup day?		0	0
Transit & Transportation:
	Cooper Street Crosswalk	A painted crosswalk would allow walkers to safely cross Williamsboro Street and encourage more walkability toward McLanahan Street, towards the Mary Potter Center and the Oxford Farmer’s market. This could also encourage regular exercise walkers to use the Mary Potter Center track for more mileage.		0	0
Environment:
	Main Street Median	This median could be beautified by the planting of perennial native grasses and flowers. This would create a more beautiful space without increasing the annuall maintenance required of the City. The proposed budget of $200 is conservative, assuming that the grasses and flowers are sourced from low costs vendors, and propagated from seed.		0	0
Parks:
	Tranquil Circle	I’d love to see this space be used either for a playground area for kids or a park/greenery area.	No photo available	1	2
Public Safety:
	College Street Crosswalk	It’s hard to cross this safely during the busiest times of the day. How can we make this crosswalk safer? Signage? Signals?		0	0

	Orange Street Community Center	OSCC is in need of volunteer time to help renovate the interior space.		0	0
