What are some of the changes you've seen in Jersey City in the time that you've lived here? What changes would you like to see in the next four years?
As the only candidate that is from Jersey City the answer is A
LOT. In the past 37 years there is little about Jersey City that hasn’t
changed. More development, more parks, more people. Jersey City
wasn’t always a place people wanted to be and now it is arguably one of the
best mid-sized cities in the country. A lot has been accomplished.
That being said, with change and growth comes new challenges and over the next
four years, my hope is to be elected as Councilman to help try to solve them. For instance, I think we need to work alongside developers to get better
give backs for our community. We need more schools especially in Downtown
where overcrowding is becoming more of an issue. We also need to work
alongside other local and statewide elected officials to demand the Port
Authority actually service the needs of Jersey City, Harrison, and Newark. We need to work on pedestrian and street safety and implement a Vision Zero
plan that will eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. It is
also important to focus on basic quality of life issues and real change that we
can effectuate on the local level. We'll also need to work through the
reval.
