Campaign priorities

Four priorities for Waterford.

A practical framework for caring for shared spaces, creating opportunities for families, and making city leadership more responsive.

  1. Parks · trails · river access

    Parks, Trails, and the Tuolumne River

    Waterford’s parks, recreation trail, river access, and public facilities should be among the city’s greatest strengths. Todd wants these shared assets cared for consistently and supported by realistic plans for long-term maintenance.

    Set clear maintenance priorities for parks, trails, facilities, and river access while protecting the Tuolumne River’s natural character.

  2. Lighting · landscaping · shared spaces

    A Cleaner, Safer, More Beautiful Waterford

    Every resident deserves public spaces that feel clean, safe, beautiful, and well cared for.

    Address lighting, litter, graffiti, landscaping, sidewalks, and entrances so shared spaces are comfortable throughout the day and evening.

  1. Youth · recreation · local events

    Community Events and Opportunities for Families

    Waterford should give families and young people more reasons to participate, gather, and build traditions close to home.

    Build practical partnerships for recreation, youth activities, community events, and greater use of Waterford’s parks, river, and public spaces.

  2. Roads · water · facilities · growth

    Practical and Responsive City Leadership

    Residents deserve city leadership that is accessible, prepared, and accountable for the everyday services and long-term decisions that shape Waterford.

    Listen, study the facts and budget, communicate clearly, and plan responsibly for roads, water, facilities, infrastructure, and growth.
