 I
would first like to thank all of the residents that responded to the
resident survey, I congratulate each person who took the time to
express their concerns about our Doral Community and how to improve
and protect what we already have. I was taken aback by the number of
responses that I received, they came in by fax, by mail, and by way of
phone calls. I would like to publish the results of the survey and
some of the comments that were made:
The survey results are as follows, prioritized
according to your responses:
-
1) The need for the incorporation of Doral
-
2) The desire for Parks
-
3) The improvement of our Roadways
-
4) Better Police Coverage
-
5) Better response by Fire Rescue
A sampling of some of the comments:
Mr. Victor Soto: "We lack areas for family activities, I have
seen previous plans and I am still waiting..."
Ralph responds: Mr. Soto so are we; I have four
children and I personally agree 100% with your comments!
Mr. Roberto C. Lopez-Pereira: "Congratulations
for this excellent work."
Mr. Vincent Vinueza: "By incorporating Doral we
can invest more money in Doral, property value will increase."
Ms. Silvia Pardo: "We also believe that
controlling excessive development is important. We need additional
turnpike access on NW 25 St and NW 58 St."
Ralph responds: Ms. Pardo I agree with your comments,
the Doral Community Council passed a resolution requesting a turnpike
exit on NW 74 St.
Ms. Adnery Maldonado: "The incorporation of Doral
is imperative, but also we need a public library for our
children."
Al and Connie White: "Complete divided road on NW
107th Avenue between NW 41st Street and NW 58th Street."
Ed Vazquez: "High School for El Doral."
Ms. Carolina Rodriguez: "The need for a park is
urgent."
Mr. Tony Richards: "Let's get incorporated and
then attack the other important items."
Kevin and Victoria Wilson: "Speeders on NW 58th
Street have come into the Doral Pines wall many times this needs to be
addresses before someone is hurt."
Mr. Maurico Beltran: "Schools for kids ages 2-5
are a priority!"
Mr. Luis F. Vale Gores: "The north side of NW
58th Street between NW 97th Avenue and 107th Avenue is a shame!"
Ms. Ana I. D'agord: "We need public facilities
such as library, church, youth centers, etc."
Ralph responds: We actually, currently have two
churches here in Doral. One is the Metro Life Worship Center, headed
up by Pastor Stephen Alessi, which is located on NW 79th Avenue and NW
38th Street across from Her Bets Restaurant. We also, as of
mid-September, have Catholic services, led by Father Joe Carney, that
are meeting at 8:30 AM at John I. Smith Elementary every Sunday
morning.
Mr. Jorge Estomea: "Let's maintain our area,
properly planned with strict zoning, trees and green areas."
Although I was unable to print all of the comments I
felt it was important to inform you of how other people felt about our
Doral Community.
The survey which you returned has been invaluable to
the leadership of Doral in our attempt to better serve its
residents--although we are not a city we can still try to do
everything within our power to improve our community on a daily basis.
I encourage you to become involved in the West Dade
Federation of Homeowners Associations (WDFHA) and let's work together
to make the Doral community one of best places to live in all of
Miami-Dade County!
