Position running for: City Council District 2
Question 1: "You're driving along and you encounter a person on a bicycle taking up the entire lane. What is your reaction?
A, That's illegal and they should be riding on the sidewalk.
B, Intimidate them so they will learn their place on the roadway.
C, It's okay to hit them with your car, and it's their fault for being in the way.
D, None of the above.
Reason for answer: D. (None Given)
Question 2: Running for Council: Will you as a Council Member focus on putting down a Protected Bicycle Lane on the busiest corridor in your district? And what is the busiest corridor in your district?
Yes.
Comments: I believe the busiest corridors is Houston, Commerce and W.W. White.
Question 3: "How should the Linear Creekways be funded, and on which improvement to the Linear Creekway do you want the funds to be spent?"
Answer: Coliseum Oaks Park would be the most need of upgrading. Some improvements have been made in my district. I am a weekly bike rider with the Commerce Street entrance. They do a good job of landscaping in my area. There is also some bike lanes off gembler and the willow wood area. More bike lanes are needed off Houston & Commerce.
Question 4: "Do you support increased funds to expand and maintain VIA bus services and routes?"
Yes
Reason for answer: I support funding
Question 5: "Should funding for more bicycle lanes and pedestrian safety education be included in the city's annual transportation budget?"
Yes
Reason for Answer: I am in favor of more bicycle lanes. The sidewalks by the AT&T Center are not well maintained which forces you to ride your bicycle on the streets which causes safety concerns for bike riders.
