    Lewis & Morgan Unite Candidates for Better Snowplowing in London

     

    London: Getting plows on the streets and sidewalks sooner is key to improving snow removal for Londoners during the winter months say Ward 2 Candidate Shawn Lewis and Ward 7 Candidate Josh Morgan.

    “Improving snowplowing in London starts with plowing less snow, more often,” says Lewis. “Waiting until we have 10cm of snow on residential streets is why cars are getting stuck and driveways end up with snow mountains at the end of them when the plow finally does come by. Most people understand that main roads need to come first, but the streets where people live are being left too long. Especially when we have multiple days of snow falls, by the time the plows get to crescents and cul-de-sacs, people are driving on snow pack with ruts 6 inches deep or more. ” Continue Reading

    Local NDP & Conservative MPs Support Lewis for Ward 2

    Trusted, dependable, cooperative, responsible, words two sitting Members of Parliament are using to describe Shawn Lewis, as they throw their political support behind his campaign to become the new city councillor for Ward 2. But more remarkable than 2 sitting MPs endorsing a Ward level candidate is these two women is that it comes from across party lines, Irene Mathyssen is with the NDP while Karen Vecchio is with the Conservatives.

    Former Conservative MP Joe Preston, who is now running for Mayor of St. Thomas and has also expressed his support of Lewis says the reason is, Continue Reading

    Play Your Way! Parks, Arenas, & Recreation Centres Matter

    Photo of Play Your Way Input Session

    Whether we are talking about big parks with lots of amenities or small ones, like Vimy Ridge Park at the Hale and Trafalgar roundabout, the evidence is in: Park spaces are good for our bodies and our minds, green space matters.  And good recreation facilities are key to encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle.

    Last week I attended the “Stakeholder Input Session” for the City of London’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Continue Reading

    Discarded Needles a Problem in Our Parks

    No one has been stabbed or poked yet, but the club fears it’s only a matter of time until someone is jabbed.

    “The answer should never be to go somewhere else,” Bilger said. “This is an existing London park with a playground. This should be full of youth activity.”

    While the park is located in Ward 1, that has not stopped Ward 2 councillor candidate Shawn Lewis from being concerned. Continue Reading

    Comments Off on Working on the Railroads

    Working on the Railroads

    I’ve lived in London for more than 20 years. That whole time, city councils have been discussing ways to fix traffic woes presented by CP and CN railways that run through the city. Sometimes it seemed they were planning on a hope and a prayer that CN and CP would magically stop sending trains through London (and remember many of the traffic problems are the results poor planning decisions by the city as it grew around the tracks).

    I have a lot of respect for Councillor Jesse Helmer. He and I don’t always agree, but he was absolutely correct when he told the London Free Press this week that it is time to stop “stringing people along” on the idea that city hall can convince CP and CN to share tracks, or do anything else that will cut the train traffic in London (see: http://lfpress.com/news/local-news/rail-relocation-dreams-dashed-in-london-for-now).

    It is time face facts: Continue Reading
