Infrastructure / Transportation Residents deserve reliable trash pickup, accessible recycling, and clean, well-maintained public spaces. Infrastructure / Transportation We will focus on practical improvements residents actually use every day—adding water fountains, updating restrooms, improving handrails, replacing picnic tables, and making sure our parks are clean, safe, and welcoming for families. Infrastructure / Transportation We will establish a city-operated disaster recovery and mitigation office focused on helping residents recover faster after storms, proactively securing funding, and ensuring no homeowner in need is overlooked. Infrastructure / Transportation We will also expand neighborhood cleanups to twice per year so residents can more easily dispose of bulk trash items and help keep our neighborhoods and recycling drop-off locations clean, safe, and functional. Infrastructure / Transportation We will pursue state and federal funding to expand bus routes and increase the number of buses serving the urban core by creating a city transportation hub. Government Reform I also support reforming our current strong mayor form of government into a hybrid mayor/city manager-council system that creates a healthier balance of power, increases accountability and transparency, and gives the city council a stronger voice in addressing the challenges Pensacola faces today. Housing We will focus on all aspects of homelessness—addiction, mental health challenges, food insecurity, and access to safe shelter—by working with local organizations, service providers, and community partners to connect people with the help they need. Housing We will also establish a city-operated food bank to support struggling families and individuals, creating hundreds of local jobs through food distribution, logistics, and community outreach programs. Infrastructure / Transportation We will also explore opportunities to expand downtown parking through additional garages and improvements to existing parking infrastructure so downtown becomes accessible and convenient for everyone. Infrastructure / Transportation We will invest in smarter drainage infrastructure and long-term stormwater solutions to reduce neighborhood flooding and better protect homes, streets, and businesses during heavy rain events. Infrastructure / Transportation We will also work to protect our historic neighborhoods and homes from overdevelopment and incompatible projects that threaten the character of our community. Infrastructure / Transportation We will work with our county partners to ensure that the city system connects seamlessly with Escambia County Area Transportation (ECAT).
