Filter by question All questions If you could only execute one project during your time as City Councilor what would it be? How do you plan to improve government accountability and transparency? Do you agree with the current multifamily zoning ordinance? If not, what do you see as the major issue and what amendments would you make? The City Council has made two large advances in housing policy by passing the AHO and multifamily ordinance. Where do you think the Council should focus next? Do you support promoting the development of more housing – whether through incentivizing developers or amending zoning language to permit larger developments by-right? With several of the affordable developments currently in the pipeline, residents of nearby properties have often raised concerns over the height and scale of proposed developments, impacts on traffic and parking, and reducing green space. How do you think the city should balance the desire to develop more units with the impact on the existing neighborhood? Beyond zoning, what do you think the Council should prioritize in terms of providing residents with housing assistance? Do you support building eighteen story or taller affordable housing complexes along city corridors? Do you support the existing Cycling Safety Ordinance? Do you think that it is feasible to complete the remainder of the bike lane network by the 2026 deadline? Do you support the addition of more protected bike lanes in Cambridge? How would you address concerns over impacted parking and traffic as a result of the construction of these bike lanes? Did you actively seek the endorsement of any of the IE-PACs that endorse you (if any)? How would you address concerns over impacted parking and traffic as a result of the construction of these bike lanes?
