“• My vision is an Ottawa that fixes what residents use every day before pursuing unaffordable mega-projects. That means maintaining roads, bridges, sidewalks, water mains, sewers and drainage systems • preparing infrastructure for extreme weather • and coordinating repairs so roads are not repeatedly dug up. I support a transit-first approach focused on reliable bus and rail service, practical shuttle connections, safer access to stations, and clear accountability for service performance. Ottawa must also complete missing sidewalks, cycling links, crosswalks and intersection improvements, especially near schools, seniors’ residences, transit stops and growing communities. Every project should be prioritized using transparent data: safety, urgency, cost, environmental impact, long-term operating costs and measurable benefit to residents. We must secure fair provincial and federal support while protecting affordability for taxpayers. Ottawa’s approved transportation framework similarly emphasizes transit first and limits new roads to situations where transit cannot meet demand.”

“• My vision is an Ottawa that fixes what residents use every day before pursuing unaffordable mega-projects. That means maintaining roads, bridges, sidewalks, water mains, sewers and drainage systems • preparing infrastructure for extreme weather • and coordinating repairs so roads are not repeatedly dug up. I support a transit-first approach focused on reliable bus and rail service, practical shuttle connections, safer access to stations, and clear accountability for service performance. Ottawa must also complete missing sidewalks, cycling links, crosswalks and intersection improvements, especially near schools, seniors’ residences, transit stops and growing communities. Every project should be prioritized using transparent data: safety, urgency, cost, environmental impact, long-term operating costs and measurable benefit to residents. We must secure fair provincial and federal support while protecting affordability for taxpayers. Ottawa’s approved transportation framework similarly emphasizes transit first and limits new roads to situations where transit cannot meet demand.”

“Ottawa’s infrastructure vision must begin with a simple principle: growth cannot outpace the roads, transit, water, sewer and community services residents rely on every day. We must renew aging assets and accelerate flood-resilience investments while advancing selected projects that address clear, urgent needs, such as Stittsville’s missing road connections and more reliable bus service. Infrastructure decisions must be transparent. Residents deserve to know what is planned, what it will cost, how it will be funded and when it will be delivered. Growth-related infrastructure should be supported by development charges, while Ottawa must continue to advocate for strong provincial and federal partnerships. We should use municipal debt carefully for long-lived assets and protect taxpayers by ensuring every major investment delivers real, measurable public value.”
