I am seeking the opportunity to work for you to help create a better future for San Leandro. I was born and raised here, and deeply care about our city.
My service on the
Halcyon-Foothill Neighborhood Association Board, San Leandro’s Board of
Zoning Adjustments and Redevelopment Advisory Committee, SLUSD Bond
Oversight Committee, Chamber Board, Davis Street Volunteer, and
formerly Human Services Commissioner prepared me to serve as your Councilmember, so I can help make our City a better home for us all.
We need to fix our roads. Too often neighborhood streets are ignored, while pavements continue to deteriorate.
Together we can create a safer community. More Neighborhood Watch, but also better and interactive crime updates, more community policing, enhanced real-time communication with neighboring forces, and comparable staffing ratios.
Downtown BART parking should be increased, not decreased, as we build the Transit Oriented Development.
We need to complete the Senior Center and Aquatics Center, and expand Transit to reduce traffic.
We need to attract and support new and local business, create a stable and self-sustaining Shoreline and Marina, and Partner with the Schools, improving both Education and Recreational Opportunities.
Please vote Charles Gilcrest for City Council District 2 on June 3rd.
