Why this issue matters

Controlled crosswalk, downtown traffic calming, heavy-truck/vehicle safety and child pedestrian protection.

Questions candidates should answer

Controlled school-area crosswalk

What are your thoughts on pursuing a controlled crosswalk or other traffic-calming protection near the school, working with concerned parents, the school, the City, the Province, Ministry of Transportation/Highways or other agencies as needed?

Downtown traffic, business incentives and marketing

Would you support lower downtown speed limits, child/pedestrian warning signage, business-license incentives for new businesses, Chamber membership incentives, and a City-supported marketing page for available retail/commercial space, accommodations and investment opportunities?

What Ledge will look for

  • Specific actions rather than slogans.
  • Cost, source of funds and likely impact on tax base.
  • Which level of government or outside partner is responsible.
  • How residents can track progress after election day.
