At the same time we should support more housing in communities such as laneway housing and multiplexes. While all this is being done we must keep in mind those who require housing that is below market rent and find ways to incentivize builders to invest in subsidized housing.

More housing of all types, prioritizing major thoroughfares with good transit and services, plus gentle density like laneway housing and multiplexes.
Beginning July 1, 2027, new builds along major routes must set aside 5% of units for affordable housing; she would monitor closely whether 5% is sufficient.

“There is no doubt that we need more housing of all types. People just keep wanting to move to Toronto and Toronto Danforth is a popular location. We need to work with developers to identify why they are not building more units. A greater supply of housing will reduce costs and lower house purchase and rental prices. The priority should be along major thoroughfares with good access to public transit and services. At the same time we should support more housing in communities such as laneway housing and multiplexes. While all this is being done we must keep in mind those who require housing that is below market rent and find ways to incentivize builders to invest in subsidized housing. Beginning July 1, 2027, new builds along major routes must set aside 5% of units for affordable housing.

Putting homeless people and those in addiction/mental-health crisis in jail is an expensive, self-defeating solution — supportive housing is the answer.
Toronto Police need sufficient, well-trained mental-health workers on staff; consider re-allocating some crime-response funding as crises rise and crime falls.

Show their words & source (several paragraphs)

“Putting homeless and those suffering from addiction and mental health crises in jail is an expensive and self-defeating solution. The only way to keep those who struggle off the street is to provide them with supportive housing that can help them deal with their problems, find solutions and move on to being long term productive members of our community. Organizations like Seeds of Hope, who provide emergency housing and supportive programs can help people find the solutions that they need. Most police have not been trained in how to deal with mental health crises, however they are one of the few front line services who are available 24/7. We need to ensure that the Toronto Police Services have sufficient, well-trained mental health workers as part of their staff. We may need to re-allocate some funding from crime response, given how the crime rate has gone down while mental health crises have increased.”

Sara Ehrhardt Elected (official result)

No website or social media listed

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Sara Ehrhardt would manage congestion with safe, efficient cycling and transit, traffic agents, smart signals, and developer lane fees.

Make cycling and transit safe and efficient to reduce car use; expand traffic agents and smart signals that adjust to real-time conditions.
Support increasing charges developers pay for closing a traffic lane so they work quicker and find creative solutions.

“I know congestion is a source of frustration for many in Toronto-Danforth. Part of the solution to that is making cycling and transit safe and efficient to use, which reduces the number of cars on the road. We need to also get smarter about managing congestion, expanding the use of traffic agents and smart signals, which adjust to real-time conditions to best move people around the city. I would also support increasing the charges that developers pay for closing a lane of traffic, making them work quicker and find creative solutions.”

Answer: No.
Toronto should improve transit and transportation alternatives before adding another charge to getting around the city. Road pricing can disproportionately affect workers and residents who have no practical transit option. Better service and infrastructure must come first.

Answer: Vehicles, stations, signals and other state-of-good-repair work.
Riders feel frequency. They lose it when signals fail, cars are out of service and stations are broken. City dollars should keep the system we already own running. New lines are mostly Queen's Park and Ottawa. Service improves when the fleet and signals work.
