Networked Transportation
I will advocate for:
• Reintroduction of the seniors bus pass.
• Rapid transit that extends to the airport and industrial lands and better connects to rail and coach stations.
• Adoption of universal transit ‘Presto’ card payment can be used in many Ontario cities.
• Wider sidewalks and pedestrianized areas. Upgrading of the Thames Valley Parkway recreational trail.
• Dedicated grid of separated and protected bike lanes; introduction of a bike share program.
• Better winter snow removal on sidewalks.
• High speed rail connecting London to Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo.
Sustainable Community
I will advocate for:
• Introduction of an organics ‘green bin’ program. As well as same day of week garbage collection.
• Downtown revitalization with sound infill development. Inward and upward as per the 'London Plan'.
• Affordable housing through inclusionary zoning on new developments.
• Supervised consumption facilities to tackle addiction and help keep our streets safe.
• Protection and expansion of heritage conservation districts; with an end to demolition by neglect.
• Rejuvenation of green space especially for our children, youth, seniors, and pets.
• Safe streets working in collaboration with strong neighbourhood associations and community policing.
