The Platform
SNOW WINDROWS
Snow plows can be attached with a device called snow gates. These gates allow the plow to control the windrow (the pile of snow dumped on your driveway) and eliminate you having to remove heavy snow from the bottom of your driveway.
POOR CONDITION
OF CITY STREETS
We need to address the poor conditions of our city streets.
INFRASTRUCTURE
& ACCOUNTABILITY
Ensuring Hewitt's Secondary Plan Development include the necessary road and utility upgrades before congestion becomes unmanageable.
BUSES
Analyze the needs and sizes of our transit buses and routes.
DRUG USE, HOMELESSNESS
& MENTAL HEALTH
There is a gap in care for people with mental health and or drug abuse issues.
OUR BEACHES
Our beaches need to be kept clean and accessible for
our city residents.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic flow and timing of the lights is a problem at many intersections in the city.
SPEEDING &
NOISY VEHICLES:
Put a STOP to SPEEDING
& NOISY VEHICLES.
COMMUNITY POLICING
Community policing would increase our level of trust in our police force. It would consist of smaller, more localized stations or hubs. Better chance of getting to know our officers.
MULTI-USE ZONING
Multi-use zoning can have many benefits to the city, such as reducing housing costs, expanding access for small businesses, and reducing the need
to drive everywhere.
