"Use the rail line from Hartford to Bloomfield and the rail line from Hartford to Wethersfield."

"Diversify the housing stock more equitably and encourage the development of work force housing."

"Grow the MetroHarford region population from 1.1 million to 1.5 million."

"Complete the bike/walk CT Fastrak path all the way into Hartford."

"The Hartford Region should have a bike share program that is affordable and extensive."

"Bike network completed across the Putnam Bridge."

"Places for students to hang out...roller skating rinks, coffee shops with indoor and outdoor seating."

"Help more students know what other options they have besides college."

"Put more utilities underground to prevent storms from damaging our infrastructure. This would also put people to work and beautify many of our towns."

"Complete Coltsville National Historical Park with a visitor center and interactive experiences."

"Develop an Urban Ecology Healing Center in the Northend of Hartford."
Keney Park Sustainability Project

"CT Transit was free early on in the pandemic... make the buses free again for everyone."

"The Hartford Region should have a bike share program that is affordable and extensive."

"Expand the CT Fastrak network to into the Windsor/ Bloomfield area, and east to Manchester with the dedicated road and stations like the original."
