SAFE STREETS. Since our last election, 1500+ people were killed/seriously injured on Toronto streets--nearly 100 in Ward 6 alone! Addressed with: ENFORCED, LOWER SPEED LIMITS of 40 km/h arterial, 30 km/h residential. "COMPLETE STREETS" (designed for all road users) which smooth traffic; promote walking/cycling; reduce GHGs; increase local-business sales. CYCLING NETWORK: 21% of city trips are under 2 km; 34% are 2-7 km. A connected network gives transportation options. We have 5600 km of roads--but built fewer than 80 km of bikeways since 2018!

ADOPT INCLUSIONARY ZONING. 2/3 of residential land is zoned single-family houses only. In all neighbourhoods, allow semis/small triplexes/fourplexes--the "missing middle." BUILD FAMILY-ORIENTED APARTMENTS. Allow low-rise & mid-rise family-sized apartments on all streets served by transit. REQUIRE HIGH-RISES AT TRANSIT STATIONS/LRT STOPS. Build walkable communities with a variety of local shops, services & employment opportunities. INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. All City developments (community centres/libraries/etc) to include affordable housing.

57% of our GHG emissions are from buildings; 36% are from transportation. Council should require that all new construction meets the International Passive House standard & have green roofs; support the retrofitting of existing buildings & expand the Tower Renewal Program; accelerate tree planting on public & private land; increase public green space; restore buried/channelled rivers; expand TTC & Bike Share service; implement a congestion charge; convert all arterials to complete streets.

TRUE VISION ZERO: Implement internationally proven policies to make zero pedestrian deaths a reality in first year of new council. Build complete streets on all arterials & a city-wide, connected cycling network. TRANSIT: Automatic green lights for TTC vehicles on all routes. Reserved lanes on all arterial routes. Bus stops within 5-10 minutes' walk of all residences/workplaces. All sidewalks/shelters/stops cleared of snow when arterials are cleared, before clearing other roads. TRAFFIC LAWS: Strict enforcement & extensive education campaign.

We need & deserve clean water, reliable electricity, well-maintained roads & pedestrian infrastructure, effective public transit, safe & inviting parks--the list is long & reasonable. Also long, but not reasonable, is the list of regular, routine maintenance--called "good repair"--which has been deferred repeatedly by successive councils. Our state-of-good-repair backlog will be nearly $15-billion by 2030 & is directly related to our property taxes being the lowest in the GTHA. Real leadership demands higher taxes and other fees.

Policing should be *for* our community, not *of* our community. Council must ensure that: Toronto Police Service is as diverse as our city, is transparent in its actions & is clearly accountable; TPS practice reinforces its role as a community partner; TPS concentrates on security, crime prevention, and solving crimes; officers are not responding to most mental-health calls, supervising traffic at construction sites, or performing administrative & other work that civilians could do; TPS training & practice prioritizes de-escalation.

Compassionate T.O: One of my top priorities would be to see where we could generate surplus funds. To do this I would examine municipal spending to see where we could develop efficiencies within Toronto services without compromising the service. My goal would be to use funds towards solving Toronto's homelessness, it's the right thing to do and it will benefit all in our communities in so many positive ways while taking pressure off law enforcement and E.M.S. Toronto is beautiful and compassionate.

How to incentivize more rental availability and quicker development, this could be done by placing properties into a couple of categories such as owner occupied and investment properties. Investment properties would be taxed higher unless rented or leased out. This would result in private owners and corporate developers wanting to keep accommodations rented and would encourage quicker development. Revenues generated could then be put to use towards other city housing initiatives or services.

Green T.O: I'm for green initiatives, I would be open to looking at all thing from painting roof top white to state-of-the-art technologies that could be implemented in city equipment. I would look to improve traffic flow to avoid congestion, this could be done through lane reversal also clearing road construction as much as possible during heavy morning and evening commutes. I am for sustainable change and doing what needs to done. I do like awareness campaigns and that could be done though the city's existing infrastructure.

Transit Matters: The city has many transits improvement works underway; I would look toward seeing how we could speed up completion to realize the benefits soon. Also, by finishing projects sooner our streets can be cleared of the on-going construction, making it safer for people to get around.

No one would want a tax increases, however there will always be a need to fund the services of the city. I would look to develop a system where a primary residence would continue to be taxed at the current rate and investment properties would be taxed at a slightly higher rate unless the property is rented out or leased. This would encourage property owners to provide the accommodations to the public rental market.

Policing is a service that should always be transparent. Measures should always be taken to improve policing relationships in our communities. City Council must do it part in taking on the issues of homelessness, mental health, and addictions in our communities. The reduction of these social issues will allow for police to focus on other safety and security concerns in our neighborhood.

About housing, the next City Council should redevelop city land, allow developers to have more ease in granting permits, and cut out some red tape. The quicker they are able to develop and build, the quicker there will be even more occupancy available.

In order to reduce the effects of climate change electric vehicles are a big requirement, and unfortunately they are quite expensive. I would like to work with the City Council to make them more affordable with some possibilities of grants.

A major upgrade needs to happen to the TTC. There needs to be updated transit with extremely less delays, and transportation improvement needs to happen around the city.

I would like to see a much bigger police presence. Sadly living in Toronto has become much more dangerous over the past few years, especially with gun violence, and I want everyone to feel safe.

If possible the next City Council should work together to potentially lower taxes. I’m here to help people and this is the next big step.

Safety is my top priority. In our area there are many families. I propose to work with the Toronto Police to make our area more secure - especially at night. During the past few years my parents were fearful for me to walk home from my friends houses just a couple of streets away. Unfortunately antisemitism has come to a rise in our community. I'd love to implement even more mental health services for the members of our ward. I want residents to feel they have someone to talk to at all times. Everyone needs to be and feel safe.
