Alissa Roston

Infrastructure / Transportation Alissa is keenly aware of the impact of state mandates on housing and transportation in our City. She will prioritize the modernization of planning, transportation, and infrastructure policies that align with our community’s standards and interests. We must ensure retail space is filled, that our transportation network meets future demands, that our streets are walkable and that our policies protect our environment. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Community safety is a top priority for Alissa. She aims to address smash-and-grab and property crimes by advocating to enhance the utilization of technology. With two new Metro stops, Beverly Hills must prepare itself for a daily influx of visitors, including tourists, employees and transit riders. Preparation includes having a Beverly Hills Police substation at the LA Cienega Metro stop and a presence at the Rodeo Drive stop. Beverly Hills must continue to fully resource our police and fire departments while requiring training to meet community standards. Government Reform Alissa firmly believes that transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of a financially sound City. If elected, she plans to take a close look at outsourced contracts, vendor agreements, external expenditures, check spending and mandate accountability with vendors and contractors. She will also advocate for the creation of a Vendor Oversight Committee to review and respond to resident and business inquiries about the City’s contracting process.
