With the Neighborhood Empowerment Grant's's latest round of funding up for grabs, we asked readers what projects they'd hypothetically spend the money on.

It was a pretty even split between public safety and crime reduction + quality of life enhancements:

"Buy the lots behind our neighborhood so no apartment complexes would go up + result in the removal of trees and wildlife habitats." — Diane H.

"Public areas like parks and clean up that will improve property values." — Phil E.

"Pocket parks." — Ryan J. 🤨

"Street lights, crime watch neighborhood signs, more patrols." — Marie

"More police presence and patrol of the neighborhood." — Pam T.

That said, nothing topped KCtoday reader's community wishlists like... wait for it.... sidewalk repairs.

Over 50% of participants bemoaned the state of their community walkways. That sounds like the perfect project to pitch for grant funding, just saying.
