Delivering for Barrhaven
When I first ran for office four years ago, I made a commitment to you that I would focus on Building Barrhaven. And together we delivered on that promise. In four short years, we fast tracked and started construction for Phase 1 of the Greenbank Realignment, completed the design of the Civic Center and new district library, built the McKenna Casey Dog Park, built over ten new parks, revitalized Houlahan, Mowat Farm and other local parks, repaved Greenbank, Fallowfield, Cedarview, and Fable (amongst others!), secured funding for multiple new cricket pitches, built roundabouts at Borrisokane and Kilspindie, installed Traffic Lights at Darjeeling, introduced an advanced green at Borrisokane and Strandherd, completed the Environmental Study for the Barnsdale Interchange, and secured commitments for further road expansions as part of the Transportation Master Plan.
But our work together wasn't just limited to construction hats and and heavy machinery. We introduced an annual family fun day on New Years Eve, brought Seniors together for the appropriately named Seniors Tea, and started an annual summer tradition with the Mayor's BBQ. We secured a commitment to build a Paramedic Deployment Facility, so ambulances start their journey in Barrhaven not the east-end. We secured a dedicated Barrhaven police traffic unit, and created dedicated Community Safety Zones around seven local schools. We reduced odours from the landfill and introduced 3 stream garbage in more parks. Together we introduced Bubble Zone legislation to protect places of worship, hospitals, our schools and seniors residents. We stopped the Sprung Structures.
Together we've invested nearly $200 million into our community. But while I'm proud of the accomplishments we've achieved together this term, the work isn't done. That's why I'm running for re-election, to continue the good work we started this term and to continue to Deliver for Barrhaven. Check out my platform, and if you have an idea you don't see below, I want to hear from you! Together let's continue to make Barrhaven the best place to work, live and raise a family!
