Building Berkeley's Future!

By Bernt Rainer Wahl

Build a better Berkeley for its residence.

Berkeley is a great place to live, but there are many items we still can improve upon including reducing crime and enhancing education. Berkeley's eco-friendly environment -- with tree lined streets, walking trails, and bike paths, often adorned with craftsman, brown shingle, and Victorians, with the occasional apartment complex nestled within - is still not an optimal community without viable means of transportation.

Berkeley's Downtown is evolving, often with trendy new architecture and functional urban plans that will hopefully integrate access to shops, cafes, cultural facilities and parks. The question going forward is how will our diverse city, with many varying needs, be brought together to meet the challenges ahead. I strongly believe that the city should budget resources where funds will do the greatest good for the community. As your councilperson, I hope to use analytics and common sense to address many of our city's pressing needs and I hope to use our valuable resources wisely to wherethey can do the greatest good.

Sincerely,

Bernt Wahl
