Public Safety

Public Safety means safe streets and safe neighborhoods.

• Develop and implement a strategy for using used police cruisers at strategic locations to discourage speeding without significant human capital costs

Business

We need to continue to support our business community to protect jobs and city revenue.

• Protect our reserve fund
• Continue to advocate for CARES ACT and similar support from the state and federal governments for our businesses

The Environment

The Stakes are high. We need to revitalize our Sustainability Plan to protect our present and our future.

Budget and Finance

The pandemic has challenged our city's finances in many ways. We need to work together to lead Lakewood back from the pandemic and into the future.

Parks

We have beautiful parks in Lakewood and we should continue to support the maintenance of these parks and continue to purchase open space when it's available and economically feasible.
