2484 S. Kilmer St., Lakewood I have owned 240 Union restaurant for 27 years and moved to Lakewood 10 years ago because I wanted to live in the community I was serving daily. www.coughlin4lakewood.com; www.facebook.com/coughlin4lakewood 1) Pragmatic, Principled, Committed 2) Small business owner in Lakewood for 27 years. Responsible for managing, collaborating and being financially responsible. I have served on the West Chamber of Commerce and the Red Rocks Community College Foundation boards and been actively involved in the community for over 20 years. I always listen and work to bring people together. 3) Safe Community — We need to invest in more police officers and grow programs like National Night Out and Neighborhood Watch. Responsible Growth — We need to address infrastructure needs as new development occurs. Recreation and parks — I will protect, maintain and grow our parks and open space and ensure adequate funding for our rec centers. 4) I support the vision of the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan that protects our neighborhoods and is thoughtful in where development is allowed. We need to respect and honor our commitment to development that is appropriate in strategic areas, with developers investing back in roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure needs. 5) Lakewood has done a good job, but there is more to be done. We need to connect residents to the line and make sure it is easy to use. This means addressing parking and housing near stations. The W Line is a spoke in the wheel for some of our transportation needs.2484 S.
