Elect Alexandra Caldwell
Pragmatic · Strategic · Committed

Congestion
Relieve traffic by optimising signals and adding capacity where needed, while improving transit and active transportation.
Public Safety
Reduce break-ins and car theft, calm traffic on our streets, and guide sensible regulation of e-scooters.
