Safe Streets
My Commitment to Community Safety
Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live, work, and raise a family. Yet too many Edmontonians feel uneasy letting their kids cross the street, take public transit, ride a bike at night, or travel downtown. Restoring confidence in our neighbourhoods and public spaces needs to be a top priority for Edmonton City Council.
In Ward sipiwiyiniwak, our 33 neighbourhoods must protect what makes them safe and welcoming. As your city councillor, I’ll prioritize public safety through a balanced, community-first approach that supports residents, first responders, and local organizations.
A safe city isn’t built on enforcement alone. It takes compassion, accountability, and strong community leadership. As a citizen and taxpayer, you deserve visible results: safer transit, safer streets, and real progress on the root causes of crime.
Together we can ensure our ward, and city, are a place where people can look out for each other and leadership put the right supports in place.
My priorities include:
-
I’ll forge partnerships with community leagues, businesses, neighbourhood watch groups, first responders and residents to help foster a stronger sense of safety and shared responsibility.
-
From vandalism to petty theft, these issues undermine our quality of life. I’ll fight for practical, data-driven solutions that target hot spots, reduce repeat offences, and restore pride in our shared public spaces.
-
No one should fear their daily commute. I will champion expanded transit peace officer coverage, visible patrols downtown, and outreach-based safety teams that connect people in crisis with housing, health, and addiction support. Riding the bus or walking downtown should be safe and welcoming, not a gamble.
-
I will stand behind well-resourced municipal frontline staff while championing accountability, transparency, and community policing strategies that build lasting trust with the people they serve.
-
With traffic fatalities climbing, I’ll push for smarter enforcement tools and safer street design, better lighting, school-zone protections, crosswalks, and calming measures so parents, seniors, and pedestrians can feel safe in every neighbourhood.
-
I’ll fight for targeted investment in youth engagement, mental health outreach, and addiction recovery programs. I will bring my experience in government and with the Canadian Red Cross to address the root causes here at home.
-
In partnership with provincial and federal governments, housing experts and those directly impacted, we will co-develop transitional housing solutions that provide stability, safety, and dignity while reducing the visible disorder in our public spaces.
