77- GARY RESNICK — Mayor, Wilton Manors, attorney
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature – let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. – William Penn.
That quote is how Mayor Gary Resnick want’s his commitment to the community of Wilton Manors to be summed up. As Mayor since 2008, Resnick is committed to improving the quality of life for Wilton Manors residents and businesses, promoting the Island City’s unique and diverse character. He continues to work hard to foster the City’s economy, improvements, and property values. Right now, that includes working with the Florida Department of Transportation to make improvements on the roads including Dixie Highway and Wilton Drive. “We are trying to make them more walkable, and safer for pedestrians and cyclists,” he told The Florida Agenda. Utilizing a recent 1,000,000 million dollar grant, sidewalks and bike lanes will be added to Dixie Highway. “I see the tangible results of what we have achieved. We have come a long way. I see my role as a consensus builder. I am able to get consensus from key community leaders. It’s with their support and the support of everyone in our community we are able to do what we do. We have a very strong active community that’s supportive of what we do.”
