As a result of my initiatives, White Rock now has:
- bylaws and regulations that allow legal secondary suites
- a transportation strategy giving direction for improving all forms of mobility, including walking, cycling and cars
- recommendations for improving the quality of life, including new ways for council to engage and communicate with citizens
- a draft bylaw with clear criteria for protecting trees and agreement to plant more trees in appropriate places
- the rest of the region following its example for smoke-free public spaces
- a comprehensive set of recommendations for improving waterfront parking
- direction for ensuring the future will continue to have housing options for seniors, families and people with disabilities
- professional processes for supporting and encouraging quality public art
Unfortunately, many of these achievements are simply plans for action. White Rock needs a Council that is able to stay focused on following through with its plans. I’ve demonstrated that I have a consistent vision and the tenacity required to achieve it. That’s why I’m asking for 3 more years as a City Councillor – to finish the work I’ve started.
