Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I am interested in continuing my role on the BPAC for s second term. Over the last number of years that I
have served on the BPAC we have make a lot of progress, most recent;y completing a new Bike and Ped
Master Plan fro the City. But there is still work to do. While many members on BPAC are focusing on
mostly bicycle issues, my main area of interest is on pedestrian issues. My career experience working as
Director of the San Francisco Parking Authority, Manager of Transportation Services at the University of
California, Berkeley and as Manager of Customer Access Department at the Bay Area Rapid Transit (
BART) have helped me a lot in being able to analyze transportation related issues brought before BPAC,

I'd like to serve one more term on SR's BPAC to support implementation of priority and other projects that
were identified in the recently adopted Bicycle Pedestrian MasterPlan update. I am dedicated to safe, and
comfortable, travel through San Rafael by bicycle and on foot. Serving on the BPAC informs my work on

bicycle advocacy community through my BPAC service.

dealing with the issues personally. As a former auto mechanic, I met with local shops that specializes in
handicapped equipment in order to learn about, install and repair the gear that made my brothers life
easier, from wheelchairs to powered chairs, automotive hand controls, ramps, automated doors etc. My

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
As a member of the committee for the past 5 years, I feel that my contributions have been meaningful in
moving forward the City's goals of creating a safer and more connective bike and pedestrian network. I
worked very hard over the past several years to help the City complete its recent Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan Update and I am really excited to continue working with the City as you begin to implement
aspects of the plan. With upcoming changes to the transit center and SMART, this a critical time to make
sure that we 'get it right' in terms of safer bike and ped infrastructure. I think that my history on the
committee, experience working with City staff, and willingness to compromise and make practical
recommendations is going to be a valuable resource to the City over the next 4-year term. As resident in
my 30's and with young kids, I often think my demographic is under-represented on City boards and
commissions. I think I bring valuable and often missing perspective to this committee and other civic
activities.

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I believe that prioritizing alternative forms of transportation can fundamentally improve a city. I'm a
proponent of walkable cities, bicycle friendly infrastructure, and plentiful public transportation options. Well
thought out projects that lower the activation energy of choosing to walk or bike will have clear benefits for
San Rafael, namely creating a connected, safe, and personable community, reducing car congestion,
improving public health, and increasing accessibility for all economic levels. My long term goal is to help
create a community where my 2 year old daughter doesn't need to rely on a car to get around!

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
My daughter was killed biking to work in Cleveland at age 22, nine years ago. Ever since, I have become
increasingly involved in bike safety issues. I am also concerned that not enough attention is paid to bike
safety issues of those who live in poor communities such as the Canal and Marin City. The bike
movement has up til now been too white, though that is fortunately changing.

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
Having worked in healthcare for almost 7 years, 4 of which have been dedicated to the Trauma Service
department at Marin General Hospital, I have seen and experienced the outcome of bicycle and
pedestrian related traumatic injuries. Having seen this side of the injury spectrum, and the goal of
prevention, my experience and knowledge would be of great value to this committee.
Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the City:
I have no financial conflict of interest with the City of San Rafael to declare at this time. My non-profit does
not receive any funding from the city, county, or state. I was an employee with the San Rafael Police
Department for approximately 3 years as a police cadet. I left on good terms at the end of the 3 year term.
