Promote Downtown Vibrancy
Complete the Downtown Project
I am committed to transforming our downtown into a space that our community members take pride in. To achieve this, I'm focusing on three key areas:
Downtown Project:
Replace the sidewalks to prevent unsafe trip hazards.
Introduce a bike lane for multimodal traffic.
Shift the focus from car traffic to enhancing the overall downtown experience for pedestrians.
Bypass Completion:
Redirect vehicles away from downtown to reduce congestion and noise.
Business Growth:
Collaborate with the Economic Vitality Committee and other economic groups.
Strategize on recruiting new businesses to the downtown area.
Support existing downtown businesses to thrive and strengthen.
The ultimate goal is to cultivate a vibrant and active downtown that attracts and delights our community members.
Increase Community Events
I envision Pullman as a city where residents never feel there's a lack of activities. To ensure this vibrant community spirit, I'm focusing on:
Increasing Activities:
Aim to provide diverse options so no one feels there's "nothing to do".
Personally Engaging in Events:
Spearheading the "Three Forks River and Arts Festival".
Oversee the "Chili Bowl" during the lentil festivals to support its growth.
Supporting Diverse Events:
Cultural
Athletic
Experiential
My goal is to foster a lively community where there's always something happening, enriching the lives of our residents.
