I enjoy serving residents and I find it extremely rewarding when goals, initiatives and projects that better our community get accomplished. Many residents in Ward 1 have asked me - “What does a Councillor do?” I would like to share some insight into the life of a councillor. As Councillors we must wear two hats - one to represent the governance of the City of Calgary and the second to represent our individual Ward. Sometimes scenarios arise where the interests of both parties do not align, which makes it very challenging when making decisions that are to be the best for all Calgarians. As Councillors, we are required to participate on Council and make decisions to help govern the City. Additionally, we serve on various Standing Policy Committees and Special Committees (note: Councillors receive no additional remuneration for Committees). It is in these Committees where we get down to the details of all different aspects of the departments and make recommendations to the Council as a whole. The responsibility of representing my Ward covers nu- merous aspects of community. These include all components of traffic calming and traffic congestion, snow issues, criminal activity, various parks and environmental issues, and all facets of development, as well as clubs and community association concerns.

  • Seniors' Transit Usage

    Seniors' Transit Usage

    Seniors’ Transit Usage Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard March 6, 2018 Project overview The Seniors’ Transit Usage project aimed to understand the relationship between seniors and transit. The project team wanted to understand seniors’ preferences when deciding whether or not to take transit. In June 2016, the Calgary Transit zero-based review report was presented to Council. This report made various recommendations in which Transit could improve their efficiency and effectiveness in public transit service delivery. As a result of this report, Council directed Administration to provide an assessment of their transit services in order to identify potential changes to service levels or service efficiency, which means the overall customer experience. This also included potential changes to the cost of the Regular Senior Yearly Pass. Additionally, Calgary Transit aims to align their services with the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy. The Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy includes initiatives that provide opportunities for Calgary's aging population to participate more fully in their communities. This has resulted in identifying key priority areas for The City to track how it's supporting social inclusion and wellbeing for Calgarians as they age. The priority area that this project aligns with in the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy is Transportation and Mobility. The goal for this priority area is that Calgarians are able to freely move throughout the city as they age. One of the primary indicators that tracks the progress of this result is affordability of public transit fares and passes for seniors. Engagement overview Through engagement for the Seniors’ Transit Usage project we wanted to understand what influences seniors to take transit.
  • Green Line LRT in My Community

    Green Line LRT in My Community

    Green Line LRT in My Community What we heard report At-Grade Stations 4 Street S.E., Highfield, Lynnwood/Millican, Ogden, South Hill, Quarry Park, Douglas Glen, Shepard April 2018 Project overview On June 26, 2017, City Council approved the full vision for the Green Line LRT. The vision for Green Line includes a 46 km route from 160 Avenue North to Seton, and 28 stations. Construction on the first 20 km is anticipated to begin in 2020, and will extend from 16 Avenue N (Crescent Heights) to 126 Avenue SE (Shepard). Construction of Stage 1 is expected to be complete by 2026. Once Stage 1 is complete, extensions will be built as funds become available to complete the full vision. The purpose of the engagement was to gather input on safety and security, aesthetics and landscaping, and access to stations to help develop guiding technical documents that will be used during construction of Green Line – Stage 1. Engagement overview In January and February 2018, The City of Calgary held open houses and pop-up sessions with community members to provide information about the Green Line LRT - Stage 1 and to collect input on station design, station area look and feel, safety and security and community experience. From January 18, 2018 to February 13, 2018 The City of Calgary hosted an online survey on its engagement portal at engage.calgary.ca/GreenLine to solicit feedback from Calgarians. Input collected from the public will be reflected in the technical documents that will guide the construction of Green Line – Stage 1. Open house sessions for at-grade stations were held at the Glenmore Inn on January 25, 2018 and the Millican Ogden Community Association on February 3, 2018.

    Airport Transit Study Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard September 21, 2018

    Airport Transit Study Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard September 21, 2018 Project overview The City of Calgary is undertaking a study to develop functional-level plans for a future transit connection that will ultimately provide improved transit access to the Calgary International Airport by connecting the future Green Line LRT with the future Blue Line LRT. The Airport Transit Study will provide recommendations for: Transit technology Route alignment, as well as number and location of potential stations, between the future 96 Avenue N.E. Green Line station and 19 Street N.E. Location for a storage and maintenance facility Land requirements Staging plan and cost estimates We are conducting this study now to ensure the future airport connection is: Coordinated with the pre-design planning for the Blue Line extension that is currently underway Aligned with the updated functional plan for Green Line Accommodated in the Aurora Business Park Outline Plan update Considered in the Airport Authority Master Plan update (ongoing) There is currently no funding for the detailed design or construction of this connection. Engagement overview In Phase 1, The City sought input from the public and stakeholders on criteria that should be used when making decisions about technology, alignment and station locations, as well as general concerns and ideas. The public and stakeholders were invited to provide their input at a meeting with the Calgary Transit Citizen Advisory Group, two public open houses, a landowner workshop and in an online engagement activity. A total of 15 people attended the Calgary Transit Citizen Advisory Group meeting,117 people attended the public open houses and 14 people attended the landowner workshop.
