Commentary: District 1 Councilwoman Sukh Kaur plans to prioritize infrastructure projects, public safety and small businesses.
Credit:As the council member for San Antonio’s District 1, my top goals are to make sure we have a handle on infrastructure projects, to improve public safety and to support small businesses.Success! You're on the list.
If you have driven down St. Mary’s or Broadway recently, you won’t be surprised to hear that construction on those streets has been disruptive. Residents couldn’t walk or bike down them for months at a time, while businesses up and down the roads saw fewer and fewer customers. The perfect construction project does not exist, but we can certainly do better and ensure we maintain our roads and sidewalks while minimizing their impact on our community.
Regarding public safety, I see the challenge as threefold. First, we need to establish more low-barrier shelters for residents experiencing chronic homelessness. I fully support the city manager’s recent proposal to use federal funding for two low-barrier shelters as well as City Council’s recent push for long-term supportive housing.
