My vision for district wide public safety is making sure we allocate proper funding towards addressing the crime rate. Making sure we have enough officers on the streets to address all the high crime areas in the district Also bridging the gap and the communication level between the citizens, and NPO’s and all officers who patrol the areas of the district.
My vision for district wide public transportation includes continuing to build a great working relationship and partnership with our city public transit system Trinity Metro. Also advocating the importance of ridership with the residents to try to increase and try to push for it. Also making sure all areas of the district gets the Trinity Metro rideshare services Trinity Metro On-Demand, to eliminate any residents disparities.
My vision for district wide capital infrastructure is to allocate funding towards infrastructure, for all areas of the districts. Also have short term solutions for all concerns with it comes road pavement upgrades, street lights, bridges,sewage systems, etc. Also our current [PayGo] financing funding is properly used in our district. Also our long term solutions are being met through the future bond elections, and also when it comes to all our TIFs districts.
My vision for district wide community initiatives includes to allocate proper funding towards district 5 community programs, and current city funded programs that will benefit all areas of the district. Also create other different community initiatives that will aim to improve the entire community of district 5, by addressing all the needs of the residents.
My vision for district wide revitalization for district 5 includes making sure the city Neighborhood Improvement Program(NIP) is actually benefiting the entire district, and just one area of the district. Also making sure any current capital projects are moving forward, without any delays for the projects. Also make sure the district has a strong economic development strategic plan, to attract the right potential developer and investor to leverage resources for our district. Also to create equitable opportunities for quality of life across the entire district 5 area!
