Goals

As your councliwoman I have participated in imporving our community by building bridges between communites, brought people together as a community, and supported our first responders in providing them with the essential tools and equipment they need to preform their daily duties. I have also brought life to our parks and recreation department. I will continue to do these things and so much more. Continue reading to learn about my goals for the next four years.

Our residents, our children, our pets, deserve a better and safer neighborhood. I will support the efforts to paint safety markings which will remind drivers to slow down and yield to pedestrians, as well as crosswalk painting and sidewalks that support the need for accommodations and meet ADA standards. I will push for grant funding for modern lighting, updated traffic controls, and speed control devices. I have and will continue to encourage our police department to increase their traffic safety detail to cut down on speeding, DUI’s and reckless driving. I am a HUGE supporter of our first responders and our public works department. I will NEVER look for way to outsource these departments. I will make sure these departments have the tools, technologies, and equipment they need to do their jobs.

A focus on creating a walkable thriving downtown is essential and the borough provides so much potential to make this happen. A thriving community equals money coming into the borough. Money coming into the borough will take the pressure off of our finances, saving us money WITHOUT cutting funding to our various departments. Saving money will cut down property taxes and relieve the financial burden of our families.

Our parks and community events bring people together. There is no community without unity. I have created and supported our community events and will continue to do so. I will see the Borough’s Five-Year Parks Masterplan through from beginning to end, making sure our parks have everything promised so that our families don’t have to go elsewhere to enjoy a day at the park. I will support our administration to apply for and use federal grants to fund the development and studies. With the grants and fundraising we will not need to add this project to our budget, saving us some money. As current Parks and Rec President, I have built bridges and relationships with surrounding municipalities. I will continue in this work because we are better together, and together we can all save money by the use of a barter system.

I have and will continue to endlessly fight for our youth. I fully support our current youth program, West York Borough’s Youth Engagement Unit. This program helps at-risk youth and their families. I will push for grant funding for this program. We NEED to support our youth, they are OUR FUTURE. The borough will also be the home of Trinity Youth Center, which will provide our youth with resources and a safe place to hang out to grow into productive, responsible citizens. I will look for resources and funding to bring back our summer park program, giving our younger youth activities to do during those hot summer months.

If re-elected for another four years, I will see my goals for our community come to pass.
