Score:  13.9%  Bicycle Friendly

Position running for: City Council District 6

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:  (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/No   
Comments:  Do you mean actually "protected," like with a concrete barrier, or with a painted stripe? 

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:  To the extent linear creekways are funded by government, they should be so by cutting other, lesser basic-municipal services.  

Question 4:  "Do you support increased funds to expand and maintain VIA bus services and routes?"    
Yes/No
Reason for answer: Increased funding and expanded routes for VIA buses depends upon the daily ridership of each existing route.  If they are at or near capacity on a regular basis, I would consider it.

Question 5:  "Should funding for more bicycle lanes and pedestrian safety education be included in the city's annual transportation budget?"   
Yes/No  
Reason for Answer:  Funding for more bicycle lanes, perhaps.  Pedestrian safety education, no more than what is available on the city website.
