Position Papers
Improving our Dowtown
Our downtown has enormous potential, but we are perilously close to losing all the advances that were made a few years ago. We need to support our arts district, our businesses and our library and provide safe and inexpensive parking in our downtown.
Fire Safety in the Hills
The northeast hills of Berkeley are vulnerable to fire. I supported the construction of a new, jointly staffed fire house at Shasta and Grizzly Peak Blvd. to protect our citizens.
Protecting Our Environment
We must protect our environment, not only for our own enjoyment, but also for future generations.
