Issue Position: Open Government and Solving Local Problems

Issue Position

Kevin holds bi-monthly coffees in the district so that citizen can come ask questions and tell Kevin personally their problems which involve state government face to face.

Perhaps the most important contributions that Kevin has made in his first term, has been to address the everyday problems that government can solve if someone puts them to the test.

The light at Fieldboro Road has been need for years and the state refused to act because a developer had not provided his agreed share of the light's cost. In the meantime the intersection was just waiting for a serious accident. Kevin persuaded the Department to put the light in with their funds. Unfortunately that accident did occur.

The dike at Port Penn has been a historic flooding problem that needs to be fixed. Kevin got the first part of the money put in the Bond Bill to engineer the needed rebuilding of the dike.

The corner of Heathfield Court and Vance Neck Road was extremely dark and a safety danger to our children waiting for the school bus. Kevin worked with the Delmarva Power to install a street light that lit up the intersection.

Working with the New Castle Conservation District and DelDot, Kevin was able to solve drainage problems at the Fairways at Vandergrift and Asbury Chase.

In addition, Kevin working with neighborhood associations and DELDOT several street repaving have been accomplished throughout the District.
