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

i think it be really great if the municipality invested in the training or the equipment to clear the driveway melts when they have to go down the road multiple times in the winter. Many people on busy roads remain regional roads get frustrated when their driveway gets plowed in four times because the trucks go past is often.

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

Accessibility, drivers being patient with seniors, being patient with mentally disabled individuals, I've personally seen drivers get angry at people taking too long to get on the bus with mobility issues or people with mental disabilities taking too long to pull their pass etc. I know the buses are on a timeline but that doesn't mean to be rude or unhelpful

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

I would like to see consistency in travel on the roads in regards to speed limits and traffic calming. One of the streets in my ward goes from an 80 km to a 50 km to a 40 km to a 50 km to a 40 km to a 30 km and back to a 50 km for 100 m. It should go from the 80 to the 50 to the 40 and stay there till the end of the road. I believe that school zones should be monitored better and I agree with the cameras in school zones. A specific project that I would like to see completed is the bypass to be finished at McQueen Shaver Boulevard, It's long overdue
