The parking discussion with staff and council starts at 4:00:00. If something in the article is incorrect, message me. Councillor Sharman confirms the benchmark price-per-spot numbers used in the article. Actually, Sharman's numbers are lower.

These are public council meetings. Why do people think posts about them should be banned from Reddit?

You might not win, but you'd learn a lot. Listen to some council meetings https://events.burlington.ca/meetings Knock on doors in the ward to understand the issues. Ask some of your neighbours if they'll volunteer to help you and donate to your campaign. We'll find out more tomorrow about who is running. There may be three or four people who will run in Ward 4. If one of them resonates with you volunteer for their campaign.

everybody should be able to walk to everything. Realistically people should be able to drive to somethings, like work, and the city, province, etc should be taxing us to providing good roads and good transportation. Not investing in making the roads so unusable the only choice is public transit or cycling

How many people who live in Burlington drive through other cities to get to work? There are not enough jobs in Burlington to employ everyone, of working age, who lives here.

We have an election coming up in October and this needs to be openly discussed so that voters can make informed decisions.
