• I want our infrastructure investments to make sense both for the needs we have today and for the city we are planning to become.
• That means considering when work is needed and the consequences of waiting, rather than delaying a repair until it becomes a more expensive problem.
• For transportation, it means building a connected network where walking, cycling, buses, rail and roads work together.

“I want our infrastructure investments to make sense both for the needs we have today and for the city we are planning to become. That means considering when work is needed and the consequences of waiting, rather than delaying a repair until it becomes a more expensive problem. For transportation, it means building a connected network where walking, cycling, buses, rail and roads work together. Those investments need to align with where we are adding housing and increasing density, so people have practical ways to get around as their neighbourhoods grow. We should be clear about what each investment is meant to accomplish, over what timeframe, and how it fits into Ottawa’s longer-term plans.”

Goods movement matters too, especially when trucks cut through neighbourhoods. We need to maintain roads, bridges and accessible sidewalks, but I’m less interested in expanding roads. We’ve already invested heavily in rail. Let’s make that system work before paying to expand it again.”
