Q: The Town of Riverside last year engaged in an MOU with the Carbon County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement. Do you believe this relationship has helped with traffic issues going through Riverside?
A: I feel our MOU has helped some. Mostly when the sheriff is visible and watching. Which is not all the time. It's a difficult problem to solve, unfortunately. I hope that it at least makes people think about the speed they are traveling through a small town. I for one love this town and really would love to see people SLOW DOWN for many reasons. In the summer it's busy in the downtown area. Respecting the speed limit helps keep people and animals safe as we all already know. SLOW DOWN enjoy the ride, and take a look at all Riverside has to offer! I think of it a lot more now when I’m driving somewhere. We all need to do our part in this issue.
Q: Economic development is a concern to every community. What do you believe can be done to aid in the economic development of Riverside?
A: I believe that Riverside businesses do a lot to encourage growth. There are opportunities to hear live music, there are activities in the park, whiskey tasting, a new farmers market, community picnic, and appreciation picnics. A small coffee shop with outdoor seating. There are places to gather all over town.
Q: What would you hope to accomplish for Riverside during your time on the Council?
A: I feel like brainstorming is a great way to generate ideas to help this community.
My gift is not in holding a town council position. It's a big need in this community, in all small communities. It's important to help when and where I can. I will continue to show up and do my best. Encouragement is a great tool, welcoming ideas, and believing in the good we all have to offer.
