Aalaa Rehman

Candidate for Ward 10 Councillor

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Rehman wants major cycling routes cleared within 24 hours like roads, plus better pedestrian and transit-stop clearing.

  • Supports funding to clear major cycling routes within the 24-hour road standard.
  • Winter maintenance should prioritize routes to work, school, transit and essential services.
Show their words & source (a few sentences)
“I will say it again and again: if we want walking and cycling to be genuine transportation options, they need to remain safe and usable throughout the winter. I would support funding to ensure major cycling routes are cleared within the same maximum 24-hour timeframe as roads, while also advocating for better clearing of pedestrian routes, crossings and connections to transit (such as buses, which can be extremely dangerous for many in the winter when ice mars the ground). Winter maintenance should prioritize the routes people actually rely on to get to work, school, transit and essential services.”
