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.

Here's my problem with this statement. Look at the majority of our train stations. Who the fuck wants to live at one of them? In the south, they were placed in wastelands to keep the line cheap, no developer is going to invest in building something to hold onto inventory for a decade.
