Mississauga for Everyone
When I first got involved, I wanted to better serve my community. I wanted to be part of the positive change to make where we live a better place. I believe in a strong froward thinking city that is ready to meet the challenges of today head on. I want to bring Modern Leadership, a Green Future, and Better Services to the place we call home.
Below are some of my priorities, but I want to hear from you. Call me anytime at 905 896 5200 or email me at Alvin.Tedjo@mississauga.ca
Modern Leadership
As the youngest member of City Council, I want to bring fresh ideas and leadership to City Council. This means finding new solutions to build more walkable communities, fast reliable transit, and lots of green spaces.
Housing and the Missing Middle
We are in a housing crisis, and we need all levels of government to come together and get more housing built. At the city, I want to help build out the Missing Middle. These are things like duplexes, triplexes and townhomes that fill the gap between a single-family home and an apartment building.
Recently at City Council I brought forward a motion to permit fourplexes in our City. Click the button below to lean more about this plan.
Street Sports for Everyone
Right now, sports like hockey and basketball are not allowed on our streets, even though our boulevards are lined with nets and balls. I successfully brought a motion forward that looks to permit more street sports in our city.
Green Future
Our green spaces are some of the most cherished parts of our community. In our community we are so grateful to have spaces like Jack Darling Memorial Park and Rattray Marsh right in our backyard. I want to do all that I can to help protect and expand the green spaces available to us.
Geting Mississauga to Net Zero
When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its most recent report in March, it put the world on notice that we need to do all that we can to limit warming to 1.5 °C. In response, I successfully brought forward a motion to update Mississauga’s Climate Action Plan with these more aggressive targets.
As we update our climate targets we want to hear from you. Click on the button below to give your feedback and stay up to date on the project.
Better Service
Each and everyday we depend on City Services to be there when we need them. We need transit and road infrastructure to get to work; our kids play in our parks and community centres; and our Libraries offer service for everyone. We need to ensure that we get the best value for each tax dollar being spent.
Free Transit for Kids and $1 Senior Fare
Life has become increasingly unaffordable for so many in our city and we need to do all that we can for those feeling the squeeze most. We also need to give you more options for how you and your family get around our city. During our budget deliberations, I was able to successfully advocate for free transit for kids under 12, and $1 all day discounted fare for seniors.
Vision Zero and Traffic Calming
When I go door-to-door in our community, the number one issue I hear is regarding the safety of our roads. Drivers are going way too fast, leaving many parents, pedestrians, and cyclists feeling unsafe in our neighbourhoods. We need to do more to change the design of our streets to ensure that our roads are safe for everyone.
