File a PRA Request
Shine a light on what your neighborhood needs!

Before the City of Fresno expands, we must demand accountability for the broken streets, missing sidewalks, and underfunded services plaguing our existing communities. Whether you're part of a PTA, faith group, small business, or neighborhood association, submit a Public Records Act (PRA) request to find out what infrastructure is missing or damaged where you live or work—and consider conducting a Community Infrastructure Audit to document what your area truly needs.

“The disturbing trend of policymakers approving more exurban projects that exacerbate the climate emergency can be reversed with a few bold policy changes. Failing to address the true costs of sprawl will mean more land-use mistakes that lock us into a future of more smog, congestion and wildfire risk.”
