Open Space and the Environment

We need to promote Public Transportation in order to lessen our impact on the environment and to increase the livability of the area. Accordingly, we need to bring the R3 Commuter Train back to West Chester. By bringing back commuter rail service, we can protect the environment, enhance public transportation, create jobs and raise community property values and “livability” while reinforcing our strong and historic connection to neighboring towns.

I pledge to protect the Open Space of Chester County. Our natural landscape is our most important natural resource and is endangered by increasing development. The confluence of conservation projects and smart growth can give the district the opportunity to grow while protecting Open Space.
