OCTOBER 2012 DELAWARE CANDIDATE SURVEY

Candidate: Daniel Lepre

Running For: State Representative, District 7

1. I supported or agreed with "Walkable Bikeable Delaware" (Senate Concurrent Resolution #13), passed unanimously by the 146th Delaware General Assembly in May of 2011.

Response: Neither Agree or Disagree

2. I believe that increased use of 'active' modes of transportation (i.e. walking and bicycling) improves public health.

Response: Agree

3. I believe that investing in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure saves people money by allowing them to spend a smaller percentage of their household budgets on transportation; and makes Delaware's economy less vulnerable to disruption from oil price shocks.

Response: Disagree

4. I supported or agreed with the state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Neither Agree or Disagree

5. As long as Transportation Trust Fund revenue is either stable or growing, I would support a state authorization for "Bike and Pedestrian Improvements" in the FY2014 Bond Bill at the same or greater level as in the FY2013 Bond Bill.

Response: Agree

Comments: I thank you for asking me to participate in your survey. I believe that our cities and towns should have infrastructure to allow citizens to have the option of riding a bike or walking wherever they choose to go. I also believe that these infrastructures should not interfere or hinder other forms of transportation or interfer with the natural environment. I would encourage any middle ground that everyone could agree upon.
