Mark Sutcliffe is pledging to devote an additional $100 million over four years to repair and clear snow from Ottawa’s roads and multi-use pathways.
The mayoral candidate is also promising a “balanced approach” to transportation that will “respect how people choose to get around Ottawa.”
“That might be easy if you live downtown and can get around on a bicycle, but there’s so much more to Ottawa than just downtown. I respect the fact that if you live in the suburbs or rural Ottawa, you’re not going to take your kid to ringette practice in February on a bike.” “We need a system that works for everyone, whether you’re walking, riding a bike, or driving a vehicle,” Sutcliffe said.
McKenney’s transit plan would freeze fares, increase OC Transpo funding by 20 per cent and introduce free transit for youth. They would also bring the LRT maintenance contract in-house if Rideau Transit Group is found to be in default of the project agreement; Sutcliffe said he would not do that because the city doesn’t have the capacity of expertise for it.
