Priorities:

NORTHEAST AREA PLAN

Problem: Proposed rezoning for high-density buildings in the flood plain strains infrastructure, worsens traffic, challenges water supply and cannibalizes local businesses

Solution: Require a community impact report, comprehensive water study before plan approval; retain general plan protections for growth management and traffic; redevelop to fit our small-town scale

COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION

Problem: Perceptions that concerns are not heard by a "detached" council majority

Solution: Hold regular, informal and interactive open houses for community input

TRANSPORTATION

Problem: Street deterioration degrades neighborhoods; traffic endangers pedestrians and bicyclists

Solution: Find funding for deferred street repairs; support increased enforcement of speed and safety laws; develop a cross-town electric jitney service
