Marietta City Council - Ward 3

Top Issues

Infrastructure / Transportation We need improved road diets (a mix of infrastructure for everyone--leisure walkers, cyclists, families with children, runners.) Marietta needs to prioritize our residential safety, not commuter cut-through traffic. Infrastructure / Transportation Changing the zoning ordinance on auto-sales lots and auto-repair lots while promoting economic development policies that improve the look and feel of existing businesses. Too often, we continue to work against the City's Comprehensive Plan—not matching the significant multi-million dollar investment in streetscaping on that corridor. Housing There are a few starter (smaller) homes left in Marietta. We have to preserve the existing (but dwindling) supply of these homes by voting no against rezonings that want to convert our smaller and (relatively) affordable homes to a commercial property. Infrastructure / Transportation Many of our Ward 3 residents want to enjoy a great conversation on the many Square dining patios without having to stop mid-train of thought because of an aggressive CSX whistle. Three other Cobb cities have silent train crossings: Smyrna, Acworth, and Powder Springs. Why not us?
