Responses below to the following question: Now use your imagination to describe what you think Seaside will look like when you grow up? If you can, please draw a picture to go along with your words.

Public Safety

• I don't want any more "death corner" which is when there is a corner with no stop signs and with the amount of speeders around my house. They're extra dangerous.

• The prom will still be there. Seaside hopefully will have no loose trash. It will be safer for people. The use of gas will go down and people will use other transportation instead. The aquarium will be there. My house will be here. Hopefully it will be a better place. The beach will be clean.

• One big school for all the grades that would be out of tsunami zone. • I think all the trees will fall on the houses. • Bigger, more technology Tsunami proof



• I think that seaside heights is the safest school in seaside but in the future it just might be a little bit different

• Seaside Heights Elementary School might be 2 story high school. Playgrounds might be bigger. There might be new schools.

• 2 storey more classroom • I think it well have better building and better schools and more people

Family Features

• I want there to be roller coasters • I think Seaside in 20 years will be a really cool town to live in because it's a cool town now but in

20 years it would be an awesome town with really cool things to do! I hope that all of the dirty old buildings on the way into town will be gone or fixed up and turned into something brand new. I think lots of people would love a theme park with roller coasters and all kinds of rides! I hope that Broadway is a nice street with smooth roads and nice clean sidewalks. I hope that the beach is clean and I hope that the carousel mall is still there, the arcade, Wyndam, the Candyman, and a LOT of other places but I wish there are new shops too! I hope that Seaside Coffee House will still be here! That's what I want for Seaside!

• I THINK IT WILL HAVE A SALON AND A AMERICAN GIRL DOLL SHOP AND A HIGH HEEL SHOP AND A BETTER OUTLET MALL AND A NEW MOVIE THEATER AND A WATER PARK AND A FAIR GROUNDS AND A TANNING PLACE AND A GIRL SHOP AND WARMER WATER AT THE BEACH.

• I think that Seaside will be better because everyone will be happy with all new changes that will happen over the years and hopefully everyone will have a place that they can call "HOME".

• i think seaside would have cleaner beach and community and have big library and new movie theater

• i think seaside is gonna be very fun and it was be better than it was before funner and probably a happy town to live in and a great place to hangout with friends and just enjoy yourself and go to the beach and play soccer.

• think there are new movie and shows and games soccer game. • It will have a big library and a big an better movie theater.

Business Development

• I think there would be no more gas station because of electric cars • I see floating cars and a freeway going over top. • We need more stores too, with only one it can really get crowded and for food and drinks to run

out making it so people will have to drive out of town just so they don't starve. • I also think it will have more stores and grow bigger. Seaside to me is like a place that I will

always call home, no matter where I am. • a huge candy mall



• I think that it would be a lot better by having a rite aid store get bigger and better. • high tech buildings • Restaurants might be bigger. Funland might have lots of more games and it would be bigger.

Seaside might have lots of new things around :) • There will be a good breakfast and the old gas stations should be gone. Also a cool hotel and

bigger parks and a Walmart. • I think there will be bigger buildings, more buisnesses and more people. • Well I would go down town in 2034 and see glass buildings and streets are smooth and car

would be huvering and the air would smell nice and fresh. • i think it will look better than before i personally think seaside would look better if you fixed up

some of the shops but seaside is still a beautiful place to live and i think it will be more fun in 2034.

• I think there will be bigger buildings, more buisnesses and more people. • I think there are going to be like a place that you can rent games and movies or buy games and

movies ware beach borito and subway is. • taller buildings, more people, and less gift shops. • A big city. But not like New York. It should be like a paradise with beautiful landscape

Environment

• I think it will look like chunks of garbage but I will take care of Seaside. • I really want it to be like it is with more animal shelters! • the beach more cleaner • Rubish and mess • I think Seaside will look like a nice little beach town with trees and the prom. Not too many

buildings and parking lots to leave the forest alone. Get rid of the old theater and something new out of it.

• More trees, less cars, gas station as horse feeding station. No trash. Horses instead of cars. No streets and gasoline.

• They would get rid of cars and put in horses and make the gas stations be places for food and water and get whole families to move in together and make houses bigger with barns, and have all the roads be dirt for the horses.

• I think seaside will have a cleaner beach and community. • good sunny plants blue sky.

Arts & Culture

• Also the library should be open on Mondays and a longer time to have on a computers so we can work a longer time. Also I want it to stay open longer.



• I think Seaside would be different from what it looks like now. Probably cleaner, people may be healthier and happier too.

• I think that it will look beautiful. • i will describe seaside when i am older,with lots of flowers lots of people and most of all lots of

comunicaition • I think seaside should look more friendly, and we should paint the houses more colorful, so it

can be more atractive.

Parks & Outdoor Recreation

• More trails no trash and more fish and more houses. • I think it would look like a little bigger with arrangements and a bigger park. • I would imagine Seaside with more hiking (t)rails • I think that Seaside would have a boardwalk and more hiking trails • I think more parks and tall skyscrapers. • love the beach

• I think Seaside will look much better in 20 years with much more things • cars will fly.it will be more bright. • it will be made out of lego's • -‐Time capsule opened -‐Repave the road -‐Old buildings restored -‐Clear the trails -‐Clean up the

town -‐Not to overreact to snow and not bring out the snow plows at 1 in of snow. -‐Raise the roads/or more wetlands -‐More volunteers in the community garden / less smoking in the garden -‐Less drugs

• I think they are going to make downtown Seaside bigger and more like tourist attractions. And make more houses inside of Seaside, and make a mall in Seaside. And more thinks like a amusement park and the schools to have a hard wood basketball floor and a football field. And a little airport and there will be taxis and make mansions. In Seaside. And want to keep something to remember, like the turn around statue. And a pro football team and basketball, and a college too. That's what I want Seaside to be like.

• maybe the same but if I think more pazass maybe it,ll have A FAIR A COUNTRY FAIR OR BIGGER BIULDINGS OR A PARADISE WELL IF IM THINKIN THE RAINS GATTA GO

• cool (rocket ship picture) • i hate it • I think seaside will stay the same because I love this town. • I thank seaside will be better than it is now but seaside is stil better • i can picture seaside just old and creepy and spooky and people would probably be dead,but i

would be moving to Missouri on a airplane and i would never come back to seaside and stay with my grandma and grandpa if they're not dead.I'm just sayin. go shopping a lot like Mrs Miller and go to the Arcade and Mc. Donalds.

• it is going to be old • I think that it will look beautiful. • I think that there will be flying cars and a big pool • It will be big a lot of people and same color, big rooms. • i think it will look like a better place and my kids will probly like the school because it will be

clean like it is right now and i will hope thell do good and get good grades in class and have a good time in school and not get beat like i do still this day.

• I think it will look a lot of the same featers(features) Like a lot more plants but a lot more technology.

• I think it will be Beatueful • I thing it will look like a city and lost of people and a skyskmraper • i think that the school will have floating buses.for the lunch room i think that there will be

different food to. • Well, I think that Seaside will be more high tech. I hope Seaside will be some what alike when I

am older. But Seaside could be just about anything when I am an adult. That is what I think Seaside will be like in the future.

• We will have flying cars and a lots of video games and more home work • I think it would look like a beautiful home to me . but it mite change . I hope it will be

beater(better) in 2034.



• it might have cars that fly in the sky. and there will probily be robots that clean your car and wash your dishes and do your chores and a lot of other stuff

• i think it will be just same • i think it would have been changed in to a city with tall bildings i also think it will not even be

called Seaside i am not sure what it will be called • I like Seaside but there are some changes I would like to see happen, like a American girl doll

store to be in the mall. It also would be nice if we built the campus that we just voted on, I would like to be safer. Another thing that I whant there to be in 2034 is better job opportunities so I can git a good job and be able to support my future family. I would like that it be against the law to take drugs. That's all I can think of bye!

• Way Differt (different) • It will look the same. Maybe with taller trees.
