• Prioritize active transportation improvements during routine resurfacing
• Focus improvements around schools, transit corridors, and commercial areas
• Use traffic
• collision and pedestrian/cycling data to identify priority locations
• and coordinate Township and Regional road projects so active transportation improvements can be incorporated efficiently when streets are already being reconstructed.

1. Use transit to shape land use
2. Prioritize expanding coverage area
3. Prioritize maximizing operational efficiency
4. Invest in rapid transit to anchor growth
5. Prioritize lower-cost or incremental transit improvements

No, maintain the current system where property owners clear adjacent sidewalks

Improve existing subsidies and discounts, but maintain fares for most riders

Please describe one criterion or principle that should not be compromised when making transit investment decisions.candidate's own words

Transit investment should be connected to land-use planning and actual community growth. I don’t think transit should be planned in isolation from where people live, work, shop, go to school and access services. New growth should be planned around realistic transportation options, and transit investments should support those planned communities rather than trying to catch up years later. The Region’s Official Plan explicitly links land-use and transportation planning and says infrastructure investment should support the planned community structure. Woolwich’s own business plan similarly says transportation planning should be a priority when evaluating growth and development, including future transit links and Breslau service. For me, the test would be: Does this transit investment meaningfully connect people to where growth and daily activity are actually occurring? If not, we should rethink it.

Please name one specific street, corridor, or project where you would prioritize these changes.candidate's own words

The Maryhill Road and St. Charles Street intersection in Maryhill. Residents have raised repeated concerns about vehicle speeds, stop-sign compliance and pedestrian safety at this intersection and nearby crossings. The Region is already designing a major reconstruction of Maryhill Road from St. Charles Street north to the Waterloo/Wellington boundary, with construction currently planned for 2027–2028. The project includes new and extended sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and other pedestrian improvements. I would use that planned reconstruction as an opportunity to look closely at the intersection itself — including crossing design, visibility, traffic calming, signal or beacon options where warranted, and how people walking and cycling move safely through the village — rather than simply rebuilding the road as it exists today.
