Nikylan for Maplewood Mayor

Budgets - I will increase community engagement in the budget planning process to ensure that community members have a say in how their tax dollars are spent.  

Boards & Commissions - I will continue to diversify boards and commissions so that Maplewood is widely represented. I will continue to sustain community interest in serving so that we always have a pipeline of potential members for a board or commission 

 Community Engagement - I will host town halls where residents can share concerns, priorities, and hold their government accountable.

Community Seminars -  I will invite experts to present on topics such as how to navigate property tax increases.

Internet Access - I will explore options to secure Maplewood-wide internet.

Public Playgrounds -I will seek grants and allocate funding to have special-needs playground equipment installed at our parks.

Traffic Calming - I will coordinate with our public works and transportation professionals so we can identify solutions for some of our more dangerous streets.

Street Lights - I will aggressively pursue state, federal or other grant funding so that we can strategically place additional lighting throughout our City. 

Pedestrian Safety -  I will work with the county to make safety improvements at Big Bend and Manchester.  I will work to address infrastructure issues, such as uneven sidewalks,  throughout Maplewood.
