It also means maintaining the infrastructure we already have, investing responsibly in new capacity, and designing streets and public spaces that are safe, accessible and connected. My approach would be practical: listen to residents, identify gaps early, prioritize projects based on need and growth, pursue available funding partnerships, and report back regularly on progress. Growth should be planned for—and infrastructure should keep pace with it.” (several paragraphs) Source: FCA Ottawa 2026 Candidate Survey on Infrastructure Priorities — Ward 22 · October 9, 2026 Confidence:High Muyiwa Ojo names “Better Roads” as their third infrastructure priority for 2026–2030.
