Candidate for Councillor Ward 2

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.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Ragozzino backs gentle density: townhomes and low-rise duplexes that fit established neighbourhoods, with infrastructure first.

  • Put infrastructure first: match new projects with road and transit upgrades.
  • Encourage gentle density: townhomes and low-rise duplexes in established neighbourhoods.
  • Repurpose underused strip malls and offices into mixed-use housing along main corridors.

“we should welcome options like townhomes and low-rise duplexes. This adds attainable housing that fits naturally into established neighbourhoods without overwhelming local streets.”

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Ragozzino says taxpayers deserve real value: steward city spending like a corporation and cut wasteful spending.

  • Property taxes should reflect what families are actually going through.
  • Act as a steady steward of city spending, reducing wasteful spending.
  • City is a corporation where residents are the clients and shareholders.

“advocating to reduce wasteful spending while providing maximum value to our residents.”

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

Ragozzino wants police funding parity with service usage and tougher bail accountability for repeat offenders.

  • Modernize the 52-year-old police funding system so tax dollars align with actual service usage, not property values.
  • Empower residents with a secure neighbourhood safety app built with residents' associations.
  • Support federal Bail and Sentencing Reform so repeat offenders aren't released the same day.

“I will support City Council in its ongoing efforts to modernize our outdated, 52-year-old funding system so our local tax dollars stop disproportionately subsidizing regional growth and align with actual service usage.”

Roads & infrastructure

Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?

Ragozzino wants radar-activated alerts, synchronized signals and coordinated construction instead of unproven traffic measures.

  • Deploy radar-activated flashing lights and speed boards on major cut-throughs.
  • Optimize traffic signal flow along major corridors to cut intersection friction.
  • Synchronize provincial, regional and municipal construction projects to reduce gridlock.

“I would support installing flashing lights and radar-activated speed boards on major cut-throughs to trigger a vital cognitive break, forcing drivers to snap out of autopilot and slow down.”

Active transportation

Can I walk and bike safely around town?

Ragozzino wants cycling money focused on off-road boulevard multi-use paths, not removing driving lanes.

  • Prioritize off-road multi-use paths on wide boulevards instead of squeezing vehicle traffic.
  • Focus spending on connecting network gaps to destinations like Clarkson GO.
  • Evaluate baseline ridership and community feedback before permanent installations.

“Instead of squeezing vehicle traffic, we should focus funding primarily on off-road paths within these existing green spaces.”
