Score: 81.6% Bicycle Friendly
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: I’m driving my car and they’re driving their bike. Not a big deal to me especially if there’s no bike lane.
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: WW White on the upper East. New Braunfels on the lower East. Walzem/Rittiman/Eisenhower on near north east. Austin highway on the north east and Broadway near downtown.
We have a lot of busy corridors in our district.
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: Not exactly sure how they are funded outside of the general fund. I know there was investment through city bonds as well as county allocations. There’s a lot of investment in D2 for this project. I’d like to see more trailheads and better lighting.
Question 4: "Do you support increased funds to expand and maintain VIA bus services and routes?"
Yes
Reason for answer: We need to invest in our transportation system. We’ve been building highways for decades for billions of dollars. Why not bike lanes hov lanes, investment in VIA etc. with all things let’s allow data to play a part in investment though.
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:: yes. Too many injuries and deaths on our roads.
