An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor LET’S TALK
You can reach out to me at ahopkins@london.ca or visit www.annahopkins.ca. Let’s work together as a community to make London a safer and more sustainable city. Take care of each other, Anna.
As we kick off a new school year and community programs, navigating our congested roads becomes a top priority in our growing city of 425,000. Planning for safe and efficient mobility options is crucial, especially as Ward 9 sees significant growth in the next decade. Residents have expressed concerns about road safety, particularly around schools, but a recent recommendation to reduce speed limits was not supported by Council, much to my disappointment. We must explore all tools for safer roads. The City is working towards a goal of 47,000 new housing units in the next 8 to 10 years, with 20,165 units approved so far. Challenges lie ahead in the planning and building process. Your feedback is vital in shaping the future of mobility and transportation in London. Share your thoughts at getinvolved. london.ca/mobility-master-plan or call 519-661-4580. Join me on October 1st from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Byron Public Library for an Information Session on the Mobility Masterplan and other planning issues. Can’t make it? Email me your comments or request a “Respect the Limit” lawn sign for safer driving in our neighbourhoods.
