A growing city needs housing people can afford, services they can rely on, and public spaces that support a healthy life. Dorothy’s priorities bring housing, recreation, transportation and environmental responsibility together.
- Advance affordable housing
- Prioritize the development of more affordable homes, working with council and housing partners to expand the choices available to Waterloo residents.
- Plan recreation around a growing community
- Support a new multi-use recreation facility in West Waterloo, with accessible spaces, programs for different ages and abilities, and sustainable design and construction.
- Connect neighbourhoods and protect green space
- Invest in active transportation and work with partners on public transit. Protect and enhance parks, trails and green spaces as Waterloo grows.
- Support health, safety and belonging
- Work with partners to improve access to healthcare and social services, support mental health and wellbeing, and address barriers to participation. Support public safety and emergency services, with attention to residents who need additional support.
- Make environmental responsibility part of city-building
- Support emissions reductions, renewable energy and energy efficiency. Protect biodiversity and work with partners on water conservation, public education and the long-term sustainability of the water supply.
