Briefly explain your interest in serving on the Revitalization Commission. <br />City of Louisville elected leaders, staff, residents and business representative have valued, planned and invested <br />in the health and vitality of the city for many decades; protecting and activating our downtown, preserving existing <br />neighborhoods and creating new ones, investing in open space and trails, new public facilities, and building and <br />maintaining roads and safe mobility options for all members of the community. Louisville's leadership recognizes <br />we are part of a regional system, and collaborates with neighboring communities to attain near and long term <br />goals. <br />As a resident of Boulder County for more than 30 years, I have been keenly aware of the vision of the city, and <br />observed and enjoyed the many initiatives and and evolution of this small but mighty community. I have deeply <br />empathized with the challenges of recovering from economic downturns, the impact of the 2013 flood, and the <br />frustration of the long promised Northwest Rail. <br />I am interested in serving on the Revitalization Commission to contribute my experience integrating <br />transportation and land use planning to create strong and resilient communities. The opportunity to participate in <br />protecting the unique asset of downtown and to continue the transformation of the SH 42, South Boulder Road <br />and McCaslin corridors would be an honor. <br />48 <br />
