That's terrible Jackrabbit.
But since this thread is about Public Renovation, some ideas:
Make the sidewalks softer: Since there are homeless people living on the street, we should make the sidewalks softer, and thus more comfortable to sleep on. Also, they hurt my feet... The sidewalks, not the homeless people.
Modify all dumpsters to have open lids, but downward pointing spikes on the inside: Stray cats and dogs are a nuisance for any city, so we modify dumpsters to be open, so that stray animals can wonder in freely. However, with the downward pointing spikes on the inside, they can go in, but not come out. This turns the dumpsters into automatically emptied death traps, where all the mess is already handled by our trustworthy garbage men/women.
Mandate that small generators be placed on all chimneys: with the energy crisis as it is, one energy source is often overlooked, chimneys. the hot smoking rising probably has enough force to turn a small turbine that can generate electricity. This electricity will be added to a large capacitor (also mandatory on all houses with a chimney) and which will then expend power in place of power provided by the local electric company, thereby reducing the amount of coal/oil produced electricity usage throughout the country, and weakening our dependance on foreign oil supplies.
