WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS

During his recent re-election campaign, Ed and his hard working volunteers knocked on over 5000 doors and spoke with hundreds of IB residents about their concerns and priorities:

  • Residents are pleased with the low crime rate, but hope it can improve further in specific neighborhoods, particularly east of 12thand South of IB Blvd;
  • Residents are happy about new shopping and restaurants, but very unhappy about the high density development in the Bernardo Shores area as well as in smaller multiunit residential infill housing projects in various locations
  • Residents like the street and alley improvements, but overwhelmingly oppose reduction of IB Blvd to one lane in each direction from Connecticut eastward and are very concerned about speeding on neighborhood streets.
  • Residents throughout IB are pleased with efforts to stop cross border pollution.

Ed will continue to work for improvements the community needs and for solutions to the problems identified by large numbers of residents he and his volunteers spoke with during the campaign.
