Road Maintenance
Regina's residents deserve a safe, efficient, and accessible transportation network. As your Councillor, I will champion a multi-modal transportation plan that prioritizes safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, while offering residents a variety of ways to get around.
Here are my key priorities:
Road Maintenance and Safety: I will advocate for a comprehensive road maintenance plan that addresses potholes, cracks, and deteriorating infrastructure. This includes prioritizing high-traffic roads and ensuring timely repairs to maintain safe driving conditions. I will also support initiatives to improve traffic safety, such as better signage, crosswalk visibility improvements, and exploring traffic calming measures in high-collision areas.
Enhanced Public Transit: A strong public transit system is key to reducing traffic congestion and providing mobility options for all residents. I will fight for increased bus frequency, improved routes, and better connections to other areas of the city. Additionally, I will explore expanding alternative transit options, such as small electric buses or on-demand transit services, to address last-mile connectivity challenges.
Promoting Active Transportation: I will support initiatives that encourage residents to walk and cycle more often. This includes building and maintaining safe and well-connected sidewalks and bike lanes throughout Regina. I will also advocate for programs and infrastructure that promote active transportation, such as secure bike parking facilities and public education campaigns.
Resident Parking Solutions: Limited parking can be a challenge in some areas. I will work with residents and the City to explore solutions, such as permit parking programs, improved signage, and potentially investigating the feasibility of resident parking permit programs in high-demand areas (following careful resident consultation).
Addressing Traffic Congestion: Traffic congestion can be frustrating and time-consuming. I will work with the City to develop a data-driven approach to identify traffic bottlenecks. This could involve exploring synchronized traffic lights, optimizing traffic flow patterns, and encouraging carpooling initiatives.
Public Engagement: I will hold regular ward meetings to discuss transportation concerns and keep residents informed about ongoing projects and proposed improvements.
Building a Sustainable Transportation Future: By investing in a multi-modal transportation network, we can create a Regina that is safer, more accessible, and more environmentally friendly. This will benefit residents, businesses, and our environment alike.
