Other priority not listed abovecandidate's own words

I am actually not pro growth if that means urban sprawl. I'd like to see intesified settlements irrespective of transportation.

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

Shantz Station Road from Hwy 7 to Kossuth Road is a natural N/S route connecting Woolwich to Cambridge and it is very dangerous. I would like to see a safe, separated route.
