Get StartedIn City Hall, I’ll adopt a proactive and responsible approach to public safety as well as special events. My vision calls for long-term planning to avert annual chaos such as Spring Break (or March Madness, as I now like to call it); increased support for law enforcement officers and first responders; year-round use of license plate readers to stop dangerous individuals from roaring across our causeways in cars loaded with guns and drugs; heightened regulation of parking for non-residents, both on our streets and in city-owned garages; and strict enforcement of the many sensible laws we already have on the books, every day in every neighborhood.

We need to re-examine and re-evalute what projects get prioritized in order to ensure our most critical issues are being addressed first. I’ll prioritize upgrading our sewer systems in order to prevent the all-too-frequent ruptures resulting in no-contact water advisories for inconceivable lengths of time. The same care and diligence should be exercised when it comes to stormwater management and the challenges we face as a result of rising seas. Part of our approach should be ensuring that we’re adhering to best practices in order to proactively head off avoidable problems, like cleaning out catch basins more regularly. An equally important part of our approach should be working closely with our city’s dozens of neighborhood associations to implement neighborhood-specific resiliency measures to keep us dry. There is no ''one size fits all'' solution to the existential threat of sea-level rise. By nature, adaptivity and innovation take many different forms. Learn more
We need real solutions to ease congestion. That’s why I'll work to unclog our roads by ensuring that there’s a master plan for the scheduling and completion of construction projects and infrastructure improvements. I’ll maintain a holistic view of what projects are underway in all parts of town and advocate to keep major thoroughfares open. Just as importantly, I’ll hold contractors to their word by forcing them to pay severe consequences for jobs they fail to finish according to the timetables conferred when bidding for city contracts. Additionally, I'll coordinate with officials from Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Transportation to synchronize traffic lights; work collaboratively with the Coast Guard to fine-tune the schedules of our drawbridges; push vigorously for measures to enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists; and continue funding our free citywide trolley service.
