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

Adequate service coverage, especially for low-income neighbourhoods

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

If elected, I will work to implement municipal sidewalk snow clearing, prioritizing streets without adequate snow storage (i.e. curb-facing sidewalks). This would mirror similar improvements already implemented in a pilot program in Waterloo. Snow clearing should also be prioritized for crosswalks, trail connections, routes to transit stops, and school walking routes.
