Infrastructure / Transportation That means going beyond quick fixes. It means repairing and rebuilding roads with quality and durability in mind, replacing aging water and sewer lines before they become emergencies, and making our streets safer for everyone, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. As someone who’s worked hands-on with infrastructure policy as a planning commissioner and environmental sustainability committee chair, I believe in taking a proactive, future-focused approach. Environment / Energy I believe Grandville can be a model for smart, sustainable growth. That means investing in energy-efficient infrastructure, promoting responsible land use, encouraging green building practices, and preserving our green spaces. It also means making sustainability accessible by ensuring that our policies are equitable, economically sound, and responsive to the needs of all residents. Government Reform We should expand efforts to keep residents in the loop, from improving the city’s digital tools to making public meetings more accessible. I will work to make it easier for people to participate in local government, because a government that listens and explains itself clearly earns trust, and trust is the foundation of progress.
