Additionally, I propose a substantial investment in our Metro ambassadors — not just more of them, but for them to be better trained, better paid, and available for as long as the train is running. They must have a comprehensive orientation that includes conflict resolution training and de-escalation techniques.Expanding the city council is a critical step toward curbing corruption within our governance structure.
I have taken concrete steps to reverse this tragic trend. I authored a motion calling for a multi-year plan to upgrade all crosswalks city-wide by adding warning lights to let drivers know that pedestrians are present and secured funding to begin the initial design for upgrading our crosswalks. Angelenos need their city to provide the basic services so that they can thrive and that is what my staff and I have focused on during this past year. Since I took office I have brought over $150 million in funding to our district to provide better parks, repair our streets, and provide interim housing for those who are unhoused. I have made my mistakes but I learned from them. Restoring public trust means delivering tangible, measurable results for the residents of Los Angeles.
