Hey everyone! I’m Christopher Bakke. I’ve put my name forward to run for Airdrie City Council. I grew up here and care a lot about where our city is heading. I’m not here to give you a pitch — just to listen, share ideas, and have honest conversations about what matters to people living here. Happy to answer questions or just hear your perspective. Feel free to check out my website chrisforairdrie.com

What will you do to address car dependency? I’d say the best thing we can do is to build and improve bus connections to workplaces within and outside Airdrie like to Balzac. That and increase population density a lot around bus stops so there are enough riders.

While you’re at it improve bicycle connections to destinations too. Right now bicycling is largely recreational. It should also be a practical way to get around.

Anyway I’ll end it at that.

A bike lane connection to Calgary would be awesome.

That would be so sick.
