Seniors Want a Voice Too

During my campaign, I have talked to many retired citizens who feel excluded from the City. They have issues but they feel are under-represented. Issues raised include:

• The Senior Center exists but they cannot get there (or get home)
• Trails and parks do not have smooth paths for walking
• Needing more benches along trails for resting

After many discussions, one gentleman proposed a Senior Alliance. He suggested that the retirement communities within Redmond coordinate with the City to discuss issues, coordinate transportation, and pool their talent and resources to enhance their communities. This is one idea I plan to investigate when I am Mayor to bring our community together. (Thanks Ray!)
