MY TOP PRIORITIES
As a City Councilor I would focus on the lack of affordable housing and the gridlock that paralyzes our city.

LOCAL ISSUES
The cost of houses and the rents for both residential and commercial properties are exorbitant. A two bedroom apartment rent is approaching the $3000.00 monthly mark. Over forty shops, bars and restaurants have been boarded up on Queen Street in the Beach in the last two years alone. This is affecting the economy and tourism.

SOCIAL HOUSING
We have over 90,000 citizens on a wait list for the past ten years. Many will live out the rest of their lives in crowded shelters and the street before they find affordable social housing.

TRANSPORTATION
Transportation in Toronto and the GTA is the worst gridlock in North America. The very expensive and wasteful Scarborough subway extension should be scrapped in favour of the already approved and paid for by the province LRT. This would connect to major work and study hubs like the Progress Campus of Centennial College where 30,000 citizens travel each day. The Relief Line should take precedence over subway extensions or Lines 1 and 2 will become dangerously overcrowded. More “scramble” traffic lights like those at Yonge and Dundas to protect pedestrians are needed.

TAKE CHARGE
Levy a special tax on vacant residential and commercial properties. There are over 60,000 vacant residential units which is causing high rents and scarcity of supply. In the commercial sector, owners wait out high return in equity with nonviable rents which are forcing small business owners to abandon their dreams of success.

MY BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE
– 28 years Beach resident
– 20 years as a councilor for ACTRA Toronto Performers (two years as Vice-President)
– 6 years on the Board of Governors of the East End Community Health Centre ( 2 years as Treasurer) – 25 years as Instructor of English at Centennial, George Brown and Vanier Colleges
