Position Papers
QUALITY NEIGHBORHOODS by Lark Jursek
There are many definitions of the terms "quality neighborhood" and "quality downtown", but I think that there are few people who would not agree that Holliston, Massachusetts was both 50 years ago, and still is both today. I agree with my daughter when she says that the opposition of the people to big industrial and retail development was the main factor in keeping Holliston, as a "special place". We can do the same thing.
A ROYAL CITY by Lark Jursek
If I am elected to the City Council of San Luis Obispo, I will set the quality of the downtown and the quality of the neighborhoods as a very high priority. I do not consider San Luis Obispo as an ordinary city. I believe that it is destined to be a Royal City with higher standards than most other cities of the world.
GROWTH CORRIDORS by Lark Jursek
The people of any city can create problems, and are creating problems, faster than any City Council, or other government agency can create and enforce laws. The time has come to realize that the answer to our problems does not lie in more bureaucracy. It lies in a new vision for the City.
