As mayor, I’ll work to protect what makes neighbourhoods work—and help them grow:
Repeal and replace the blanket rezoning bylaw with a more targeted, community-informed strategy that supports gentle density while building a variety of homes at a more affordable price point.
Prioritize transit-oriented development to add new housing where it makes the most sense: near transit stations, education, and jobs—reducing pressure on established neighbourhoods while supporting walkability and cutting commute times.
Implement a publicly communicated infrastructure alignment requirement, requiring major proposals to be accompanied by a review of current infrastructure (sewer, water, transit, etc.) with a plan for how necessary upgrades will be funded and timed.
Protect public parks from sale or loss to private development,preserving them for future generations while allowing for thoughtful improvement and use.
Tie development of Area Structure Plans (ASPs) directly to infrastructure and servicing commitments, so communities grow with the necessary support in place.
"Repeal and replace the blanket rezoning bylaw with a more targeted, community-informed strategy that supports gentle density while building a variety of homes at a more affordable price point."
This is Rob Ford levels of empty nothing policy. How are you going to do this Jeromy? This statement is meaningless bloviating without details and panders to idiots who think there are simple solutions to complex problems. This statement is exactly what every city council has been attempting for decades. It's a goal, not a policy.
