Traffic Miami is going through a huge new wave of development and growth. With that, comes traffic. With this new reality, we can decide to continue with the status quo of car culture, or reprioritize the pedestrian and explore new ways to increase mobility across the city. I've consistently favored the latter, working on projects like a Complete Streets, a pilot program in Downtown that provided dedicated bus and bike lanes. Projects like these have set the groundwork for future street planning in the urban core and I’ve been supportive of similar projects throughout District 2. Additionally, I've expanded trolley routes into abutting municipalities and have supported eco-friendly transit alternatives like FREEBEE and electric scooters to provide greater mobility within neighborhoods.

Affordable HousingThe City of Miami is one of the most expensive cities to live in, with long-time residents and newer, young professionals alike finding it difficult to pay their rent and make ends meet. Substantive problems like these demand honest and comprehensive solutions and as such, I was able to pass a first-of-its-kind inclusionary zoning ordinance that mandates developers within the Omni area of my district provide a minimum number of affordable units in new construction.

Green SpaceI had my start cleaning up the contaminated park in front of my house. As Commissioner, I’ve worked to clean up another six contaminated parks in Miami and we’re close to completion! We need to cherish the parks we have and we need lots more of them.

Crime and Safety

The safety and security of residents is our number one priority. 2018 marked a historical low for crime in the City of Miami, down another 9% from the year prior. I will continue to work alongside law enforcement to draft meaningful legislation that will make our streets safer and more enjoyable for all.
