"My Vision of Norwood"
Quality of Life - The first
concern is to control speeding on our
street. I will support our Police
and work on ways to control speeding.
I will continue to fight against the FAA
and its plans to redirect planes over
the Northern Valley area. I will
do my utmost to keep hazardous materials
off the rail lines that come through our
town and continue the effort to quiet
the railroad crossings. I will work to
repair our infrastructure, such as
repairing and installing sidewalks and
look for grants to assist the Borough in
paying for it. Address the many
complaints regarding flooding and
drainage issues. I will form a
committee to plan a "Norwood Day" and
welcome any who wish to volunteer.
Open Government - We will
continue to keep our residents informed
using tools such as Swift Reach. I
will explore ways to improve the Borough
web site to keep it up to date. We
will investigate Web Casting of Council
Meetings. I want to work closer
with our schools to help create more
fields and programs for our children.
I encourage all of our residents to
volunteer and get more involved with
this great town.
Revitalization of our downtown -
While we are making some progress, it
has been slower than we all had hoped.
However, plans are in motion and the
Livingston Street Beautification
Committee is working on creating a new
look for Norwood. We will research
grant applications to be used to help
make the cost of the improvements
minimal.
These are my visions and I pledge to
work hard with the members of the
Council to make them realities.
