John Kladitis

Candidate for Councillor - Ward 14 (Toronto-Danforth)

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Not reviewed yet. Know something?

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

John Kladitis says the 955 Queen St E supervised consumption site operated too long without resolving drug use and discarded needles.

  • The supervised consumption site at 955 Queen Street East became a source of significant neighbourhood concern.
  • Cites public drug use and discarded needles; says the site was allowed to operate too long without resolving these major problems.

Confidence:High

Transit

Can I get where I need to go without driving?

John Kladitis would insist on above-train-height sound barriers for the above-ground Ontario Line if noise becomes a problem.

  • The Ontario Line will have above-ground trains running through part of Ward 14; nearby residents fear train noise.
  • If noise becomes a problem, he will 'vigorously insist' sound barriers be extended above train height or partially/fully enclosed, whichever is best for nearby neighbourhoods.

Government

Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?

John Kladitis created a 165+ member Toronto-Danforth Residents WhatsApp group as a hub for concerns, ideas and common priorities.

  • Created the Toronto-Danforth Residents WhatsApp Group, already over 165 members and growing.
  • A central hub where residents raise concerns, exchange ideas, share neighbourhood information and identify common priorities; if elected he would also keep phone calls, emails, town-hall meetings and weekly newsletters.

“Rather than relying on one politician to speak for more than 100,000 residents, I created the Toronto-Danforth Residents WhatsApp Group, already operating with more than 165 members and growing. It's a central hub where residents can raise concerns, exchange ideas, share neighbourhood information and identify common priorities.”
