1. Do you support re-aligning municipal and regional transportation plans and investments to meet the provincial government’s CleanBC target to “reduce distances travelled in light-duty vehicles by 2030 compared to 2020″?
If it is practical and does not impede one’s ability to work, transport to places of Education or otherwise negatively impact the day-to-day life of Victorians
2. Do you support making the default speed limit 30 km/h for streets without centrelines, as Victoria has already supported?
I would have to look into this further if this is indeed the will of the people then I would support it well after triaging the budget after reviewing
3. Do you commit to budgeting sufficient funds to accelerate the the walking, rolling, cycling and transit portions of Go Victoria?
I very much like the idea of a walkable Healthy Green enjoyable City for all to enjoy and access there are practical points to be considered the budget must be spread among many important issues with a triage approach to the most dire and serious needing first budgetary allowance.
4. Do you support using neighbourhood-wide traffic calming to create low traffic neighbourhoods with much lower traffic volume with quick build materials?
Interestingly this can lead to increased driving routes and idling which is actually bad for the environment so I would need to look into this more indepthly.
5. How would you support making walking safer and more enjoyable in Victoria?
By ensuring that there has been a thorough and comprehensive plan implemented that takes into account the interests of all citizens whether they be cyclists, pedestrians, drivers, seniors, families, able-bodied or disabled individuals. Namely City Planning must have cohesion and harmony between all the modes of transportation and that will provide for the the safest route.
6. Do you support building at least 15 km of new all ages and abilities (“AAA”) bike and roll routes throughout Victoria?
If that is what the majority of the citizens of Victoria want after all this is a democracy and public servants are meant to serve the public and bring forward their concerns and interests not their own.
7. Do you support welcoming people who use wheelchairs and mobility scooters to use all ages and abilities (AAA) bike and roll routes?
Yes, where feasible and safe to do so.
8. Do you support rapidly completing 24/7 bus lanes along Douglas Street through downtown Victoria, as well as similar measures along all of BC Transit’s proposed RapidBus routes in Victoria?
I would need to study this plan further before commenting
9. With the court-imposed deadline of March 14, 2023 to keep the Island Rail Corridor intact, how would you support modern rail service for Vancouver Island?
Having lived in Germany which has every small town to large city connected with fast trains high speed trains etc., I would urge for a provincial collaboration to bring Light Rail throughout the island.
10. Do you support making transit fares more affordable, both by reducing the cost of passes and individual fares and free or discounted passes for youth, seniors, and people living on low incomes?
Yes
11. Do you support removing the requirements for off-street vehicle parking from new and infill developments while adding requirements for car share, EV charging, bike and other micromobilty parking, as well as expanding accessible parking?
Generally speaking yes
12. How would you activate and bring more people into public spaces within Victoria, including sidewalks, public squares, streets and parks?
Simply stated, Ensure all these spaces are accessible to all citizens. Possibly create a beautiful green culturally enhanced town square with spaces for local artists etc..

Yes
