“Ottawa needs to plan beyond individual projects and look at the complete infrastructure network: roads, transit, sidewalks, cycling and pedestrian connections, water and sewer systems, parks, recreation facilities and community services. For growing communities like Riverside South and Findlay Creek, that means coordinating infrastructure investment with development so residents are not left waiting for the roads, transportation options and services they need. 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.”
