Election Issues

I have been out going door to door for the last three weeks. I have approximately 320 homes canvassed thus far. I have tried to spread it around the ward so I have a good feeling for the issues. I have been all along Water Street East, the Blue Shank Road, Meadow Heights Sub-division (missed 7 homes), a few streets in Woodridge Place, and two large streets in Lefurgey sub-division (Crozier and Hillside), Small Avenue, Flamingo and Robin Street. Tonight I will head over to Perry Sub-division. The main concerns I am hearing are as follows:
•Ditch Infilling- While some progress has been made the last 3 years; we need to move quicker on this issue.
•Electricity Rates- Too high, we should be going our own path with our own utility. I agree we need to review this.
•Paving- Perry Subdivision, Small Avenue, Meadow Heights, Osborne and Wildon all need repaving.
•Taxes- Too high
•Crosswalk on Water Street East needs improvement and needs to be marked better
•Speeding on Read Drive and in subdivisions
•Enhancement to parks in the Ward

These are the issues I am hearing throughout Wilmot. As I said, hitting the doors again tonight.
