Description

Youth Board The Youth Board will consist of young people from the ages of 12-18 who have a desire to get involved in serving their community, learn more about local government and discuss issues important to them. We will participate in community clean ups and other volunteer opportunities, learn about the ward's participatory budgeting process and propose projects to be funded, and connect with people in the ward office and other students to share ideas about how to improve our community and city. Any young people who want to make a difference, need service hours, want to learn more about government and build community with people who share a passion for public service should join! Youth Board Sign up Here Transportation Board The Transportation Board is for anyone who is passionate about improving biking, pedestrian safety, and public transit. Given the recent events in our ward and nearby wards involving pedestrians and cyclists, we believe now is the time to channel our collective energies into making streets safer and more accessible for everyone. We will work on projects like identifying areas in need of more pedestrian and traffic calming infrastructure, as well as improving existing and adding new bike routes in the ward. The Environmental Board is for folks interested in both the natural beautification of our ward and those interested working on sustainability and climate change mitigation. We will work on improving our natural environment through neighborhood cleanups and tree plantings, as well as larger policies and initiatives both in the ward and city wide.
