HeatSync Labs, a local hackerspace and technology incubator, is outgrowing their space in Chandler and looking for a new home. We should encourage them to bring their brilliance and innovation to Tempe. The group attracts creative minds from all over the valley, and helps bring amazing concepts into reality.

We need more nice restaurants and coffee shops around the lake and on the water.

While it does give it the big city feeling, it's also very annoying

We need a grocery store for all the new urban dwellers to shop at.

We need more local gourmet restaurants and less chain restaurants

Urban Outfitters is great, but if you want Mill to be a shopping district, you're going to need a few more stores

The birds on Mill are horrible... I think everybody agrees... and they bring lots of crap. Move the birds and the crap will follow :)

My friend was at Caffe Boa recently and noticed that they're saving their wine bottles for people to decorate to show how many bottles they go through and why having recycling on Mill is so important. I didn't even know that there was no way for the bars/restaurants to recycle and that seems pretty important. It'd also be nice to have some recycling bins next to the trash cans on the street for plastic bottles and paper.

The empty dirt lot on Mill/7th St has been exactly and only that since at least 2002. I think its owned by ASU. Put something there. An bike rental/storage place, statue of Yoda, miniature replica of the Grand Canyon, public art, water fountain, retail space, solar power station, flower garden--anything but just dirt and rocks.

I'll go to the Mall for Chain stuff.

I love mill ave and I know it is a lot harder than it sounds, but the real reason I avoid it almost 100% of the time if I am not having to come to work is because there are not enough free parking options and at certain times of the day the streets are backed up.

All the Jesus people and hand outs are annoying get rid of em!

Mill Ave needs more bike racks, it also needs a bicycle friendly business program whereby bicyclists are given small discounts or specials.

I worked for Redbull a few years back and when flugtag was in town they were trying to obtain city permission to have their afterparty at the mill and turn it into a big party spot for the night. Why not turn it into a restaurant and actually call attention to the history of the street? That would also help open up the north end of Mill Ave and expand the business opportunity a bit further than the 5th street area. Integrating the mill and tempe beach park more would help generate revenue and more attendance to N. mill!

Fashion shows, Music festivals, Red Carpet events

There's lots of cool restaurants, but I think cool used CD exchange would be awesome.

I think Mill Avenue district should stay true to its roots and make sure to cater to students. Fewer high end restaurants and bars, and more places for students to frequent. This will also bring back the "cool" vibe that Mill has lost. Cool music venues would help! Fewer corporate buildings.

Downtown Tempe needs new restaurants like the old Bandersnatch where you have a good selection of appetizers, sandwiches, soups and salads for a reasonable price. There's no place on Mill now that's economical to eat lunch out every day except Jack in the Box.
