Issues
Parking and Traffic
This is an unbelievably challenging problem for our tiny resort town. We have an area of only 1.1 square miles and a population of only 2500. However, on any given weekend it can swell to 30 to 40 thousand creating gridlock
Revenue generation
Being a vacation resort community, we have fund services to accommodate the large number of visitors. This includes increased expenditures for police, EMT, life guards, beach access etc. there are limited avenues available to create revenue without overburdening the permanent residents
Quality of Life Issues
I will advocate for the issues that enhance the liveabilty of our town.This includes noise abatement, easier access to their homes by the elderly and handicapped, proper bicycle paths, protecting the fragile ocean environment…etc. etc.
