Car infrastructure is the least efficient way to get around, occupying the most space, and draining our city’s budget.

Road widening is not a scalable solution and is proven to increase driving demand, increasing travel times for everyone.

To keep up with demand and give residents more options to get around, we need to shift our investment to properly fund OC Transpo and complete our protected cycling network.

These are proven to be the best investment a city can make to ease congestion and move people quickly.

It is illegal to build many forms of housing in our city without applying for a zoning amendment.

Many developers are not willing to take on this risk for smaller projects, opting for car-dependent urban sprawl, or luxury high rises. We are leaving other key forms of housing behind.

Starter homes, row houses, low rise apartments – otherwise known as the missing middle have been long neglected.

Our city needs to overhaul our zoning code, allowing for these types of homes as of right.

Cities are more than places to live and work. In many parts of our city, it certainly feels that way.

Much of our city is designed solely for the throughput of cars, at the expense of everything else.

Our buildings and streets need to reflect the reality of how we live.

Allowing for mixed uses like cafes and shops closer to where we live and work provides us with more places to meet and spend time with people.
