Issues: Transportation Infrastructure

In the 3rdDistrict you can see the very best and the very worst of public transportation. The CTA blue line is packed every day, saving families and young people enough money that they can live in our great neighborhoods.

At the same time, our bus routes are poorly served. We simply do not have enough buses along the Fullerton, Grand or Diversey corridors. This is enough of a problem that there are children in our community who have never been to the beach less than 10 miles away. I look forward to utilizing my experience as a Director at the CTA, and working with the Active Transportation Alliance and others to increase access to public transportation.

Infrastructure is also a big issue for the 3rd District. Many of our roads are far from what they should be. This not only looks bad, but creates hazards and financial issues for working families with having to repair their cars too often due to poor street quality. I will fight to bring resources to our District to get funding for infrastructure updating and repair.
