Getting Around

How should municipalities use existing street infrastructure to better prioritize walking, cycling, and public transit?select up to 3
  • Reallocate space on selected streets (e.g. road diets, transit lanes, protected bike lanes)
  • Prioritize active transportation improvements during routine resurfacing
  • Focus improvements around schools, transit corridors, and commercial areas
What role should public transit play in regional growth, and how should future transit investments be prioritized?ranked from highest to lowest importance
  1. Use transit to shape land use
  2. Prioritize maximizing operational efficiency
  3. Invest in rapid transit to anchor growth
  4. Prioritize expanding coverage area
  5. Prioritize lower-cost or incremental transit improvements
Do you support the municipality taking responsibility for snow removal from sidewalks adjacent to private properties?single choice

Yes, sidewalks should be cleared alongside roads as part of regular winter maintenance

Do you support expanding fare-free transit for the Region?single choice

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

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on transportation?candidate's own words

Ideally free or low cost transit for riders, but the service needs to earn some profit in order to offer subsides for groups. I support the pilot for free transit one day a week for seniors

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

Evaluating social, environmental, and economic impacts before cutting service/funds

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

Erb street, Bridgeport road - high traffic areas and unsafe for cycling due to speed and traffic volume
