ISSUES

Affordable Housing

A home is more than just a roof over our heads—it’s the foundation of a thriving community. We recognize the importance of creating housing opportunities that are accessible to all, from young families to seniors. By fostering public-private partnerships, streamlining approval processes for developments that include affordable units, and leveraging programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, we will ensure a range of housing options to meet every income level. We’ll collaborate with nonprofit housing organizations and responsible developers to create mixed-income communities and offer incentives for maintaining and renovating existing affordable units. Together, we can build a city where everyone has the chance to put down roots and thrive, creating a more inclusive and welcoming community for all.

Development

Boynton Beach is growing, but growth shouldn’t come at the cost of our community’s heart and soul. Together, we envision a city that balances new opportunities with the charm and character we all cherish. We’ll hold regular community forums to gather input, ensuring that projects reflect our values and preserve our city’s unique character. By supporting transformative, mixed-use developments and providing zoning flexibility that integrates residential, commercial, and public spaces, we can foster walkable neighborhoods that lift everyone up. We’ll also establish guidelines that encourage environmentally sustainable design and respect our local architectural heritage. With thoughtful planning, transparent evaluation criteria, and continuous community feedback, we’ll nurture sustainable growth that benefits both current residents and future generations.

Traffic

Whether you’re driving to work, biking to the beach, or walking to a local business, getting around Boynton Beach shouldn’t feel like a battle. We’re committed to improving mobility through strategic investments in public transit, working with regional agencies to expand bus routes, service hours, and frequency. We’ll upgrade key intersections with modern signal timing, add dedicated turn lanes, and integrate protected bike lanes, widened sidewalks, and well-lit crosswalks. By using data-driven traffic solutions, smart signals, and designated rideshare drop-off zones, we’ll reduce congestion and create a more connected, accessible city for all.

Public Safety

Safety is the bedrock of a thriving city, and every resident in Boynton Beach deserves to feel secure. We will continue to support a fully staffed, well-trained police force, while strengthening community policing initiatives and fostering partnerships between law enforcement and residents. Through ongoing de-escalation and cultural competency training, transparent accountability measures like body-worn cameras, and community oversight boards, we’ll build trust and ensure fairness. We’ll also collaborate with schools, churches, and nonprofits to create mentorship and prevention programs that address the root causes of crime. Together, we’ll create a safe, welcoming city where neighbors look out for one another, and families can live and thrive without fear.
