- Our neighborhoods are in urgent need of more sidewalks. Creating a more walkable and pedestrian-friendly community in our district will be a priority of mine in Metro Council. In addition to increasing safety for pedestrians, sidewalks will also create more vibrant and connected neighborhoods, reduce unnecessary automobile traffic, and unlock new corridors for economic potential and local business growth.
- Our neighborhood should remain a place where housing costs are accessible for middle class families. To accomplish this, Metro Council needs to take steps to increase new housing construction to keep pace with our neighborhood and city's growing population, ensure that the housing we are building is accessible for our residents, and invest in infrastructure to ease congestion and connect our neighborhoods - all which will be a priority of mine.
- Our neighborhoods’ access to quality education is an essential component of a thriving community. Our neighborhood schools should be an attractive asset of our community that both appeals to and retains families. We must ensure that our Nashville public schools are fully and adequately funded, foster relationships between our schools and community groups, and sponsor after-school activities for our students.
