• Oxford/Gideon Roundabout: Construction pauses over winter, resuming in spring 2025, with completion expected in 2025. • Oxford Street West Improvements: Work begins in 2026, with detailed design underway. • Urban Growth Boundary: Changes will be reviewed in early 2025, with final reports by mid-year. • Master Mobility Plan: Public engagement starts in January, focusing on transit, roads, cycling, and sidewalks. Council’s Decision on Ward Boundary Review I was pleased to witness the Lambeth community’s strong turnout at the Public Participation Meeting in support of Option 1, emphasizing the importance of keeping the Lambeth community unified. I share this sentiment and firmly believe the community should not be divided. Ward 9 is experiencing rapid development, which led me to sup- port the City of London’s initiation of a Community Improvement Plan approximately eight years ago. This process highlighted Lambeth’s cultural and historical significance, underscoring the need to preserve its identity. Minor adjustments to the Ward 9 boundaries are part of the changes. To the east, Ward 10 will now extend from Wonderland Road to Bostwick Road, ending at Wharncliffe Road. Additionally, Ward 14 will begin south of Highway 401 and extend to the city limits. These new Ward boundaries will take place for the 2026 Municipal Election. Celebrate London’s 2024 milestones at london.ca/2024, and stay connected through my newsletter.
