EXPECT MORE. DO BETTER.

A city that works

Streets and utilities. Public safety. Parks and libraries. Tax-base development. Housing. These core services are critical. When city government doesn’t do these well, no one else does. Let’s expect more. Let’s expect city services that work—and work well.
