Waterdown

But just living there doesn't necessarily make you a good representative.

You have to listen to the folks in Waterdown and rural Flamborough.

There's different communities.

There are different needs.

First off, it would be infrastructure keeping pace with growth, whether it be roads, traffic, emergency response, recreation in terms of community centers, water, wastewater, transportation, all of those things.

The planning of infrastructure needs to happen with or before the growth, not afterwards.

And we've experienced that many times in Waterdown particularly, the growth between east and southeast.

has been huge.

We need to ask whether the roads, water, wastewater, parks, transit, and other infrastructure can support the growth and whether these developments integrate within the existing communities.

I can use an example of what Waterdown has faced over the last little while.

where you have multiple projects on the go and traffic is backed up basically to the Burlington border.

So just being smart about making those decisions and where those buildings go.

We need to rebuild the trust with residents, and it starts with being transparent, accountable, and having respect for taxpayers and their dollars.

We have plans, concepts, choose whichever word you wish to choose, for eventually having an interregional transportation link on Dundas Road that will go all the way along Dundas into Toronto.

We have the T-line over HSR, which is supposed to go downtown.
