taking credit
There are many accomplishments I am very proud of as a City Councillor. On this page I will list significant ones that I feel are personal achievements.
Legal Secondary Suites
bylaws and regulations that allow legal secondary suites
Marine Drive tree lights
Strategic Transportation Plan
specific directions for improving all forms of mobility, including walking, cycling and cars
Public Art Policy, New Public Art installations
professional processes for supporting and encouraging quality public art
More smoke-free spaces
Cities throughout the region are following White Rock’s example for smoke-free spaces
Draft Social Strategy
recommendations for improving the quality of life, including new ways for council to engage and communicate with citizens
Draft tree protection bylaw and commitment to create an urban tree canopy strategy
a draft bylaw with clear criteria for protecting trees and agreement to plant more trees in appropriate places
Mayor’s Task Force Report on Waterfront Parking

Note: Many of these achievements are simply plans for action. White Rock needs a Council that is able to stay focused on following through with these plans.
