What is your vision to help people ride and walk safely in our community? What actual steps might you take to achieve your vision?

The vision I see is more trails. I have personally designed a lot of the trails in this city. Like the 2 boardwalk trails along the Virgin River. Currently we are working on the canal Trail which would be the north south in our city. 

2. Forty years ago, more than 60% of school children in the US walked or rode a bicycle to school. Today, that figure is less than 10%. This decline in bicycling and walking and physical activity in general has been mirrored by dramatic increases in negative health impacts for kids. What would you do to reverse this trend? What role do you think the city should play in making it safer for children to walk and bike to school?

I like this question. I think the way a city can help is make safer routes. Some route have busy road and that make parent nervous. Since City can’t decide we’re the schools are located we can help with police patrols around those roadways. 

3. Do you agree that Complete Streets (a design philosophy that provides safe accommodations for all Users…vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists) is the approach local municipalities needs to take when designing and reconstructing roads.

Yes I agree. I have been pushing for developers to construct full roadways in design instead of partiall roadways. 

4. Tell us about your personal experiences riding a bike, running or walking for recreation, exercise or transportation.

I am an active biker and runner.

5. Is there anything else that you would like to share about Active Transportation in Washington County?

 I love your group an appreciate you asking questions.
