Priorities & Projects
Sherwood is the envy of NW Oregon. Our city is steeped in tradition, with world-class public safety, excellent schools, and a vibrant sense of community. As your Mayor, I will focus on meeting the challenges we face today and ensuring that we are set up for success in the future. I have the following goals:
Maintain and enhance confidence in local government and its leaders.
Champion "traffic calming" and traffic congestion solutions that enhance safety and livability.
Ensure the safety of our students as they use our roads and trails to get to school.
Complete Pedestrian Bridge at 99W and Sunset, connecting trail systems.
Secure state and/or federal funding for a grade-separated pedestrian crossing at Cedar Creek.
Promote, encourage, and nurture our incredible community-based non-profits that add so much to the character of our city.
Focus growth on projects that are compatible with our community values, goals, and expectations.
Promote stable funding sources that do not put additional tax burdens on our citizens.
Find stable funding for the senior center and enhance programming.
Promote economic development and bring family-wage jobs to Sherwood.
Work with regional partners to fight pre-emption of local control by Salem.
Ensure that city services are available to all members of our community in an equitable, accessible, and inclusive manner and that city-sponsored programing reflects the diversity of our community.
