• Adjust signal timing, curb use, or intersection design
• Prioritize active transportation improvements during routine resurfacing
• Focus improvements around schools, transit corridors, and commercial areas

1. Use transit to shape land use
2. Invest in rapid transit to anchor growth
3. Prioritize maximizing operational efficiency
4. Prioritize lower-cost or incremental transit improvements
5. Prioritize expanding coverage area

Yes, but roads should take priority; sidewalks cleared after

Improve existing subsidies and discounts, but maintain fares for most riders

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on transportation?candidate's own words

I see transportation as a network, not a competition between cars, transit, cycling and walking. Cambridge will continue to be a community where many people rely on cars, so we need safe, well-maintained roads and sensible traffic management. At the same time, we should be making transit more reliable, improving pedestrian safety and creating better cycling connections where they make practical sense. I also believe transportation investment should be closely tied to growth. Major transit and road projects should support where housing, jobs and services are being added, and we should take advantage of routine road reconstruction to make cost-effective improvements rather than treating every mode as a separate project. My goal is a system that gives people more practical choices, supports economic growth and uses public dollars responsibly.

Please describe one criterion or principle that should not be compromised when making transit investment decisions.candidate's own words

Transit investments should be closely connected to where housing, jobs and services are growing. Major transit projects are too expensive to treat as stand-alone transportation decisions. They should help shape development, support higher-density growth where appropriate and make it easier for people to reach work, school, services and amenities without always relying on a car. If we are investing significant public dollars in transit, land-use planning should reinforce that investment so that ridership, development and long-term community benefit grow together.

Please name one specific street, corridor, or project where you would prioritize these changes.candidate's own words

I would prioritize the Hespeler Road corridor, particularly as redevelopment and the future Stage 2 ION line move forward. Hespeler Road has the potential to become much more than a road people simply drive through. As housing and employment grow along the corridor, we should be improving safe pedestrian connections, access to transit stops, cycling connections and intersections at the same time. The important thing is to coordinate those improvements with redevelopment and major infrastructure work rather than treating walking, cycling, transit and road capacity as separate projects. Done well, Hespeler Road can accommodate significant growth while giving residents more practical choices for how they move around Cambridge.
