Public transit has for decades failed to keep up with the growing needs of our growing city. Though different levels of government share blame, City Council is not without its own. Its tepid embrace of proven LRT technologies, proven correlation between increased bus service and increased ridership, and proven willingness for residents to opt for cycling where the infrastructure allows for it has left our city at a standstill.

We need to take action on transit projects which have remained stagnant for too long, preventing us getting where we need to go. LRT lines along the Waterfront and Jane would serve to connect our residents with the city at large, while a more comprehensive cycling network would make our local commute safer and healthier.

Together, on October 22nd let’s seize Our Chance For Change, and bring better transit to Ward 17.
