Snow removal has been an issue in recent years, and the proposal calls for an investment into sidewalk snow removal equipment and staff. The goal of this is to ensure that children can walk to school safely. Under the Mayor's administration there already have been trail and park projects completed, such as the trails on Wisconsin Point. In the 2021 budget, Mayor Paine aims to improve that with more trail construction and maintenance.

Mayor Paine's budget for the coming year does not call for any increase in taxes. He calls this budget proposal the best and most ambitious budget of his administration that took months of work fine tuing.
