Ward 1 residents
haven't expressed much desire for starting new big-ticket capital projects during the next term of Council. However, many people
have told me that the lack of parking continues to be a disincentive for going
downtown or for using the GO train. So, I am prepared to support the construction of a parkade. Despite
paid parking’s unpopularity, I support a user-pay model to avoid property tax
increases. Through consultation we can determine a rate that won’t create a new
disincentive for visiting the downtown.
