“My vision for Ottawa’s infrastructure is simple: maintain what we have, fix what isn’t working and plan responsibly for the growth ahead. Residents deserve reliable transportation, safe and well-maintained roads and bridges, resilient stormwater and drainage systems, and infrastructure that keeps pace with new development. I want decisions grounded in real evidence, transparent costs and clear timelines, not political theatre. Major projects should demonstrate real value, have appropriate funding partnerships and include meaningful community input not a highlight reel after the fact. We also need to think long-term: building infrastructure that can withstand flooding and extreme weather, supports accessible transportation choices, and protects the character and charm that is Cumberland & Orléans, keep it green and acknowledge the actual needs of both urban and rural communities. Above all, taxpayers should be able to see where their money is going, understand why a project is needed and hold Council accountable for delivering it.”
