Appropriate infill. We must create urban walkable neighborhoods served by transit, neighborhood businesses, cultural and recreational amenities, quality schools, with a mix of housing types and price points throughout the city. We should not plan for suburban land uses as we grow on the edges of the city. I will never settle for crappy development

Density must be based on the identified growth areas in our city’s comprehensive plan.

I have worked collaboratively with neighborhood residents, local business owners, developers, and city staff for over a decade on proposed infill projects to ensure new developments fit zoning and adopted plans. As a former member of the Urban Design Commission and Plan Commission, I have reviewed hundreds of proposed developments around the city.

I support investing in neighborhoods to repair the harm of racial disparities, lack of street and transit connectivity, and disinvestment.

Protect our historic resources. I worked for years to update our historic district ordinances.

Build transitional housing. We must create shelters for the homeless. City staff must work with the Salvation Army, Tenney Lapham, and Worthington Park residents as the Salvation Army finalizes their plans for constructing a purpose-built shelter for homeless women and their children and transitional housing on the 600 block of E Washington (eventually selling their Darbo Drive parcel).
