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
No response
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

Transportation planning should give people practical choices beyond driving. I support reliable and affordable public transit, safer walking and cycling connections, while recognizing that roads and parking remain important for many residents, businesses and families.

If you selected "Yes, for specific groups" above, which groups?candidate's own words

Seniors (ex. extend Older Adult Day Pass pilot), People with disabilities, Youth (age 12 and under)

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

Accessibility and affordability should not be compromised. Transit investments must ensure that seniors, people with disabilities, low-income residents and those who rely on public transit can access jobs, services and their communities safely and reliably.

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

I would prioritize the Victoria Street corridor, particularly around 100 Victoria Street, where housing, homelessness, transit and redevelopment pressures intersect. It presents an opportunity to combine more affordable and supportive housing with thoughtful, transit-connected development and improved public spaces.
