I will improve the city's existing public transportation, focusing on connecting the neighborhoods, shopping centers, public services, colleges and universities inside the beltline to one another in a more convenient way. As it stands people are inconvenienced more by using our public transportation system than they are by finding parking spaces. Our city should want to encourage the use of public transportation. When we design routes we should view mass transit as something people do want to use and respond accordingly.
I will concentrate my efforts on redesigning routes and making new routes that are the most convenient to the greatest number of people, including people that own cars. I believe that many car owners would like to spend less time sitting in traffic and finding a parking space, and would rather take a bus to work or to conduct their day to day business.

I will encourage sustainable downtown development by supporting the construction of new affordable living spaces and businesses that enable shopping and the carrying out of day to day activities within walking distance of living spaces. In addition to reducing traffic and improving air quality, encouraging pedestrian friendly neighborhoods helps eliminate the need to construct large amounts of new parking and fosters a sense of community.
When businesses become neighbors as opposed to destinations they develop regular loyal customers, and in turn will do more to act as good neighbors to keep those customers happy.
