Wants new development to arrive with the infrastructure to support it: genuinely affordable units, gentle density that fits existing streets, and protection so long-time residents can afford to stay.
“I'm not against building. I'm against building ahead of the transit, the schools and the roads.”
Says Ward 3 has outgrown its transit and roads. Will push for Park Lawn GO to be built, for the Legion Road extension to be funded, for relief on Lake Shore and Park Lawn, and for reliable bus service in Alderwood and Stonegate-Queensway.
“I'll push for Park Lawn GO to be built rather than re-announced, for the Legion Road extension to be funded, and for real relief on Lake Shore and Park Lawn.”
Sees safety as a matter of investment: better lighting in parks and underpasses, maintained public spaces, community policing that knows the neighbourhood, and properly funded mental health and addiction services.
“Every family in this ward deserves to feel safe walking home.”
Would protect public access to the lakefront, close the remaining gaps in the waterfront trail, and keep the ward's parks to a high standard.
“I'll protect public access, close the remaining gaps in the waterfront trail, and hold our parks to the standard we'd want if we were showing them off to a visitor”
Promises published response times, regular street-level office hours in every community, and case numbers so residents can track an issue. For the main streets in Lakeshore Village, Mimico and New Toronto: permits in weeks rather than a year, parking and sidewalks that work for customers, a plan for empty storefronts, and a seat for the BIAs when development is planned above them.
“The unglamorous part of this job is most of this job, and I like that part.”
