As a Brampton resident with a growing family, I knew firsthand that I needed to prioritize community and road safety throughout my term as Councillor. I remained committed to consistently advocating for safer neighbourhoods through traffic calming measures, speed reduction initiatives, supporting budget lines for first responders, and hosting various neighbourhood meetings with Peel Regional Police that provided patrols and awareness to specific resident concerns.
The goal has always been safer streets and safer neighbourhoods and through continued collaboration with various levels of government, the PRP and investing in traffic calming measures and technology, community and road safety will continue to be a priority of mine.
