Candidates’ information is current as of 8/29/2019. Candidates may update their information at a later date.
Stay tuned to www.boulderchamber.com, where we will provide the candidates’ answers to the following questions from the Boulder Chamber and our community partners! Boulder Chamber: What do you see as the vital components to the future of Boulder’s economic vitality, and what specific strategies would you support as a City Councilmember to maintain a vibrant economy?
Boulder Area Realtor Association: What strategies do you support regarding land use, housing and transportation policies and programs to address the impacts of our incommuting workforce? Community Cycles: To improve safety, cities around the world have been reducing vehicle speed limits. Studies show that speed reduction has an impact in both reducing speed and normalizing driving slower. Boulder has been very reluctant to reduce traffic speeds. Community Cycles is asking the next council to pass an ordinance that will reduce the speed limit on residential streets from 25 mph to 20 mph. Will you champion this speed limit reduction? If so, how? What other ways do you think we can make our streets safer for all users?
Community Foundation Boulder County: How would you make housing attainable for those who live or work in Boulder?
Downtown Boulder Partnership: Our neighboring communities have flourished over time and have captured or retained sales tax revenues that in the past sustained Boulder’s economy. As competition continues to increase, what is your vision to keep our downtown vibrant in order for our local businesses to succeed in this ever-changing and increasingly competitive environment?
Human Services Alliance of Boulder County: The Human Services Alliance’s non-profit human service agencies provide the bulk of the human service safety net in Boulder. What are your top concerns about the safety net in Boulder and how do you plan to address these concerns? Urban Land Institute Colorado: A recent report from the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project and CoPIRG Colorado suggested that Boulder’s slow-growth policies are not consistent with its carbon reduction and climate policies. Do you feel that in Boulder “dense makes sense” to help achieve carbon reduction? If so, how would you support affordability with density?
