Goals & Vision

• I would work to develop a “plan of accessibility” that would make all of our parks available to all of our residents. I would develop functional interactive access to all Regional Parks by first addressing the needs of east bay residents who do not have the resources (i.e. transportation, information, money, physical capability, etc.) to get to the various parks in the District.
• I would promote health and disease prevention by developing a campaign promoting the health benefits of frequent park use. This would also include expanding and developing new relationships with other service providers (city recreation departments & -medical service providers), expanding the trail resources available to responsible dog owners who benefit from the daily practice of walking their dogs and many more interventions that I have used in my forty years of practicing public health.
• I would create special trails and areas for dogs that would allow dogs to run free and not present any danger to other park users or wildlife in the area.
• I would improve access for the disabled with special spur trails off main trails and wheelchair van access that will take visitors out to the pier at Point Pinole Park as an example.
